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?

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. Are you really trying to argue that you can only use a weapon in a fight if you don't know you're going to be attacked? Or are your saying that defending yourself from possible death with a weapon should never be allowed? Yes, I'm sure the kid was actually going to die. These kinds of fights always result in death. The problem with the law is that all it requires is that the "victim" feels like they are in serious danger, even if they are not. If he didn't stab the kid 12 times, he probably would have ended up with a black eye and/or a bloody noise. Now he is probably even more fucked up mentally and is behind in education and will probably never get a proper one. It also sends the message that it is ok to kill people who bully you. And if he was seriously harmed? It's happened in the past and will continue to happen. Saying "he probably would have ended up with..." is a baseless assumption, he could have very well ended up hurt or even killed. It's happened before in cases very similar to this. What he did was wrong, but it's the aggressor's fault this happened and to argue that he was not in danger is just ridiculous. He wasn't in real danger. Its the aggressor's fault, but that doesn't mean that stabbing someone 12 times is okay either. To argue that it is okay to kill anyone because you feel threatened by them is just as ridiculous (which is what the law says).
I'm pretty sure I can stab you 12 times with a small pocketknife and you could walk away. Just saying. It's pretty hard to incapacitate someone with a 2 inch blade unless you either know what you're doing or get a lucky shot in. Especially if you're already disoriented from you know...the beating that you're suffering at the hands of a bully. 12 stab wounds =/= 12 stab wounds in vital areas =/= the guy was down and he was just whaling on him with a knife.

It's amusing yet rather sad how you fail to understand that it was not a threat, but the victim was in fact being beaten by someone older and arguably more powerful.

There's a difference between "i think i might get hurt" and "this guy has been harming me physically and mentally for a long while before i decided to try and defend myself for the first time".

Say what? The kid didn't stab someone over a beef because he thought he might get hurt. He stabbed someone who was chasing him with the intent to do bodily harm by kicking his ass and repeatedly SUCKER PUNCHING HIS HEAD AS HE WAS RUNNING AWAY.

Death isn't a reasonable outcome of a high school fight.
While true, there is still the possibility of death and more likely serious permanent injury. The bully victim is defending himself to remove or lower those possibilities. Stop generalizing and assuming shit is going to happen this way or that way when there is no real way to know unless it already happened. Anyways, I think we'd know if the kids actually wanted to kill him or whatever. Something tells me the "victim" would have taken quite the pounding after stabbing the "suspect."
It's not about their intent to kill, it's about the possibility of them killing him or physically harming him. Sure they could of had a "regular" high school fight, but one wrong hit or move could end someone's life unintentionally. The bully victim is not going to take that chance no matter how low it is. He has the right to defend himself against those odds if someone is willing to bring them.

This...
"Protecting yourself" ... With a knive you got on you for that intent, is allready "borderline" (just get pepperspray or some other not as leathel self defensetool). By stabbing someone even once you are accepting the dead of your "opponent".
Stabbing 12 times? Thats murder.
Ask yourself this:
What if he would have taken a gun and shot 12 times at the guy? Would that also be selfdefense?...

This story marks a step in the right direction. Is there plenty of blame to go around? Of course.
The parents, kids and school failed both students in ways that need to be adressed specifically but there will always be bad kids with bad parents going to bad schools. This kind of case sets a standard for those interactions.
Anybody who physically attacks somebody else should go into it with the assumption that they will die as a result and if you survive then they were lucky. This is an idea that needs to be drilled home for everybody and a few more cases like this would surely do the trick.

Maybe if you read some about the law you would realize that this isn't what is required for you to use deadly force.
In this case, he was hit a few times before using deadly force, which is at least a little bit more justifiable, but still not okay.

Death is an outcome within the realm of possibility in any mismatched fight involving grown or almost grown humans. Even in sanctioned ones. It's why there are things like weight classes in combat sports.

You're going in circles. We all agree it isn't reasonable. IT's also not reasonable to blame the kid for this, as he wasn't in a state of rationality.
It's perfectly okay to not like that this kid died, or the circumstances in which he did.. It's a tragedy. But it is in NO way bullied kids fault.
If you really continue with this nonsense you're either trolling or truly incapable of seeing this from an outside, perspective. As well as the victims perspective.

Yes, that would also be self defense. What on earth do you think the ring of supporting bullies would have done if he'd pepper sprayed the first guy? Kid would've gotten pulped.

If you unreasonably assault someone you forfeit your rights as far as I see it, its a shitty out come but really the kid acted within his rights to defend himself. If it wasn't kids and it was a random mugging on the street people wouldn't think twice. Don't start fights, ever.

Wow. Way to exaggerate the killing and underestimate the effects of bullying.
Funny thing is that I have the feeling that if the bullies beat up the kid so much that he died (it has happened where bullies killed their victims), the people here who thinks the victim should be jailed and say "so what?" to the bullying would side with the bullies, saying things like "the victim shouldn't have let it come to that". It just seems like there are people who side with the bully/instigator and blame the victim.

it is. he equipped himeself with a knife

Ahm.. He sprays them too?
What would he have done if the surroundings got angry at him stabbing? Stab them all?
Btw: Still waiting for the explanation as to HOW stabbing 12 times is self defense. Once/Twice.. ok.. 12 fucking times? Try this at home against some meatball and tell me thats "affectual" or "selfdefense"...
Thats stabbing to kill and nothing else.

I refuse to believe getting punched in the face repeatedly is equal to "getting beat up a little bit". Poor kid wanted to run his ass home but bullies chased him down and beat his ass on the ground anyways. How do you stop that lol? Suddenly stabbing the guy in the gut actually now sounds quite reasonable for self defense.
