gfg to that kid's parents, maybe you should be around your kids a bit more and teach them proper values. sucks for the kid who was bullied, i'm sure killing someone at such a young age is nothing short if mega-traumatic. but i support the bullied kid completely. User was warned for this post | ||

If a kid is carrying around a knife, why not a taser perfecly good for incapacitation, and less likely to accidently kill someone. Most likely because there was no tazer available for him and he wasnt in the best mental condition so his judgement was blurred. I can see how it is easy to analyze the situation from an outside point of view, but when youre right in the middle you make decisions that can be quite different from what one of us would make. That being said, its unfortunate it came this far but I believe he only kept on stabbing and slashing because he still felt threatened and only realized he was no longer in immediate danger when he stopped stabbing (probably when he realized that his efforts on self defense was lethal and his attacker was no longer attempting to converge on him). | ||

This is hypothetical because we don't know exactly what this might be used for, but there are possibilities. This could be used to show that long term emotional distress could call for a different burden level of self-defense than an isolated incident. No one is arguing that the bully was armed, perhaps this changes how deadly force can be applied in a fight and lowers the burden of someone being in a situation with death or serious bodily harm being possible. Perhaps this changes nothing, we don't know yet. It is a possibility though. | ||

I'm not sure how anyone can think it's worth it to trade the slight possibility of serious bodily harm, for the guaranteed mental/emotional trauma of stabbing somebody to death. I just think you have to be emotionally disturbed to ever bring yourself to stab somebody to death, unless it was clearly a life or death situation. Schoolyard fight with students surrounding you in a ring isn't a life or death situation. I hope he's at least ordered/encouraged to seek psychological treatment. Would any of you feel safe around him? Not really Fight or Flight, it's human instinct. and Flight is a no go here. Better him dead than me. Thing like these are basic, humans have the desire to survive you know..... | ||

This kid and yes I understand he was a kid was bullying and terrorizing and as a former victim of bullying I can say with certainty he was making the kid unbelievably miserable for over a year, and while it's never a good thing for life to be taken I can't help but feel justice was served here. Anyone who takes pleasure in causing another so much pain, pain that could even make one want to take there on life deserves what they get. So many people are taking ridiculous and pathetic view that this kid is a murder and should be treated as such, I can say for almost a certainty these people have never experienced real true malicious abuse, bullying that can drive kids to suicide, a death is always a tragedy but people with who are so malicious to someone it forces them to such extremes I can't help but feel it was deserved. | ||

While I respect your firm conscience, or lack of an overly sensitive conscience, this isn't a fucking game. "hurr durr fucking. owned." you forgot the GG no RE and the bro at the end. why don't you shut the fuck up and stop being so assuming about this kid's parents, or the situation as a whole. 'You must have been a real pussy unable to defend yourself from bullies as an adolescent to have such a bold viewpoint on this. ' ^^ See how stupid you can look when you assume shit without knowing? good fucking game? no.... gtfu - grow the fuck up. This isn't teamEX.net, you should know that by now.

This is the true tragedy, because they are more emotionally invested in social interactions and cannot easily escape from situations they don't want to be in. I.E: They have to go to school. Kids have the means to kill and maim as easily as an adult when you factor in weapons. They are also more prone to escalate to killing blows. I'm going to have to side with the defender on this case. | ||

I think the real tragedy here is that millions of children around the world are traumatized on a daily basis by their peers for nothing more than their tormentor getting an ego boost. This results in bullying being the leading cause of teen suicide and was also the result of this incident and a number of similar incidents. If this incident can serve as a motivator to reduce bullying in any way then at least something positive can come out of it, nothing positive whatsoever can come from the actions of the bully. | ||

Is there any way that is not a dumb question? He probably took a knife because that was what he had access to in order to defend himself, but even a gun is much more likely than a taser. Come on, man. | ||

Well said. A lot of people underestimate the wide-reaching and long-term effect of bullying. You have millions of adults who are held back by emotional scars from their childhood. They become the depressed, passive-aggressive who bottle up their emotions until they unleash all their fury on an unsuspecting crowd of innocents. And the world ends up with more monsters. | ||
