No malicious premeditation means he would be hit with manslaughter if anything at all. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and are just trying to get a rise out of people now. Bringing a weapon to school when you know you're going to be in a fight isn't premeditated? | ||

LMFAO Your original ideas had promise, but presenting them in an immature way isn't contributing in a constructive manner. I think easily obtainable weapons is the issue here, although a pocket knife really isn't that bad, larger more dangerous knives being fairly available, especially in the US, make what could just be a violent upset between adults degrade into possible deaths. And it happens a lot... | ||

If you start an argument with someone and they pull out a gun, you can shoot them and get away with it (or they can shoot you and say they were in fear for their life). How is this any different? No, he actually doesn't. See, once you're the instigator, you're at fault from what follows. Thus, if Dylan punched Jorge, Jorge pulls out knife, Dylan cannot pull out knife as well and attack Jorge and not be found guilty of murder. The law does not work this way. What matters is who is instigating the matter. To the second part, it's wholly irrelevant, I don't even know why you typed it. EDIT: After reading your numerous responses, it's clear you're a troll. Even if you thought the act was unacceptable, there's no way you could be serious with your posting in such an immature manner and without any actual basis to your arguments. | ||

It is a shame for both sides and sad that it had to escalate to this situation but it had been happening for a year. At this point it's safe to say that the other kids and teachers weren't going to intervene. The kid didn't know what to do and felt taking a knife was the best course of action. When surrounded by a group of bullies one of which said he is going to physically harm you, the kid with the knife is very scared doesn't know what to do and will violently swing the knife as the testosterone is going and when the body is in an adrenaline state the mind becomes more tunnel visioned, one of the points that's taught in psychology. As some TL posters are stating they have been bullied and it can be very traumatic and make them side with the bullied. It is known that scaring at a young age from being bullied or other time of abuse can lead to social problems for adults. My last point and probably the biggest these are kids, Communication is hard if not impossible to do with them if you read all the bullying cases and previous precedent on the issue you will see that no one knew that this was happening. As a growing kid their brains are not as developed as an adult or a TL reader that thinks they know what should of happened, kids in school don't fully know how to process or resolve a situation that can be far outside their comfort zone. That is why booze isn't allowed until you are 21 because the brain needs to evolve in key area's. Their thought process is way different then anyone else that is why some kids are put into juvy not prison. | ||

Probably the same reason. Odds are he didn't have time to sit and think about it while in perhaps mortal danger. If you can call the police absolutely do it, but it didn't seem like he had a choice. And carrying a knife is intent?That is the same as saying wearing a helmet on a motorcycle was intent to hit a pole. | ||

Thats right, he just brought the knife to school when he knew there was going to be a fight. I read the report, he had the knife in his pocket and used it when attacked. The law says hes innocent since its ok to kill unarmed people who threaten you. | ||

Senseis/instructors, I'm sure, are shaking their heads over this. You take martial arts to defend yourself, but unfortunately, a 14 year old kid such as this, doesn't quite care for that. | ||
