Surfie, you gave the analogy of exactly what I was trying to express. Beautifully said and thanks wasn't enough.

We need to eradicate the bully culture in our world. The bully needs to be outcast not the bullied.

I don't think the cost is a factor in this particular situation.

I think cells phones play a very important part in teenagers lives. It's how they communicate IME.

I agree completely! Those without are left out of a lot considering teens communicate through their phones!

O/T - I LOVE your Dobie!! We rescued one about 4 years ago and he is the BEST dog in the whole wide world. I will never own another breed.

Thanks, he is my first baby and I agree, once you have a dobie you are hooked! I will say that my dobie around 3 months was a bigger handful than my baby was for the first year! He could reach everything! He is still bad about stealing dishrags, seems to be the only habit I can't break. Besides the constant crying if he isn't in the same room with me LOL.

Wow, talk about compassion...what an amazing kid.

I just heard on World News his attorney say things are cropping up in his past. He would not elaborate, but I look forward to hearing what has come up!

Does he suck them? OMG, our dobie steals and sucks pillows and stuffed animals like there is no tomorrow. I've read it is a fairly common thing for dobies to do. Also, it indicates they are very compassionate, which our dob is.

One day after the rampage at Franklin Regional High School outside Pittsburgh, little was known about the suspect. His lawyer, Patrick Thomassey, said that he stands 5 feet 3 inches and weighs 110 pounds. He did not keep a cellphone.

Hribal has no history of trouble with the law or mental health problems, and his parents knew him well enough to know what movies he watched and whom he hung out with, the lawyer said. Thomassey said he planned to seek a psychiatric evaluation.

It was also not clear why the attacker chose to execute the attack with two knives — ordinary kitchen knives, wide enough to open wounds more than an inch across, and long enough to puncture organs.

“I think in this time in this age that we live in, in all honesty, there’s more bullying than what anybody wants to say,” she said. “You have other kids that are just solid individuals and some that are just shy and don’t know how to handle society.”

“In that way,” she concluded, “we need to look and see how are children coping with social skills these days.”

Me: Amanda Leonard shows so much insight. It's amazing to me that one can be so compassionate after such a heinous crime has been committed. It's beautiful. I hope that no matter what led up to this, that we can learn from it somehow. I won't be surprised if it turns out he really does have a mental illness or if he was on some kind of meds with this as a side effect.

The 16-year-old boy charged in a stabbing spree at a high school outside Pittsburgh was not a problem student or outcast like those who have been involved in other school violence across the country, and was "like a deer in the headlights" hours after the attack, frightened and depressed, his attorney said Thursday.

Thomassey said it's unclear if Hribal is remorseful or understands.

"I think his mental state now is unstable. I'm not sure that he recognizes the enormity, if that's the word, of what has occurred," Thomassey said. "And I think in his own mind he's trying to figure out what happened here as we all are trying to figure out what the heck happened here, because there was no indication of any problems in this young kid's life."

The attack seemingly came out of nowhere, the attorney said.

"Both parents are good parents. They're parents who pay attention to their kids, who eat dinner with their kids every day, who understand their kids' friends, who, you know, care about who they hang out with," Thomassey said.

As for the assailant, H**t said he hopes that someday "I can forgive him, and everyone else who got hurt can forgive him. First of all, he needs to forgive himself."

A day after the rampage, students pondered what comes next for their school, which could reopen Monday after the blood-spattered floors and walls are cleaned up.

"It will never be the same, but you want it to be as close to the same as possible," said J***b R*****e, a junior.

R*****e said that while "people are definitely mad" at Hribal, "more so, people want him to get help."

"I heard these rumors about being bullied. I don't believe that's true," Thomassey said. "I'm sure that at a certain point, we'll find out what caused this. Maybe there is something that was going on at school that I'm not aware of yet or his parents aren't aware of yet."

The young man also did not seem to embody the cliche of digitally connected youth.

I wonder if he took a bus to school. I'm imaging him carrying the 2 knives to school, in his backpack, inside a book?? Why did he wait until he got to school to strike and not on the school bus?

 

[ATasteOfHoney]

Well, glad they've seized his computer.......any guess what's on it? I'm giving 3:2 there's plenty of violent video games.

Just sayin'....


moo & we'll see

“Using a gun is not as personal as using a knife,” said Eric Hickey, who worked on the FBI’s Unabomber task force. “When they stab someone, that’s a different dynamic,” he said. “It’s much more up close.” Stabbers have a much greater “rage quotient,” he said in a briefing memo prepared for NBC News.“They have to see their victims, be prepared for blood,” he said. “And it takes a lot of physical work to wave knives and attack people.”

Murrysville Police Chief Seefeld has said that investigators are looking into a report of a threatening phone call to another student the night before. Thomassey said his client made no such call.

"That is a rumor that I do not think is true," Thomassey said Thursday afternoon. "He was home all night the night before this occurred, with his parents. They did not see him on the phone arguing with anybody."

___________

According to a Franklin Regional High School parent, her son received a threatening phone call the night before the attacks.

The student tweeted about the phone call at 8:06 a.m. Wednesday, less than an hour after the school stabbings.

"Got a restricted phone call last night from a kid that said he was going to (expletive) me up today, didn't think anything of it," was posted in the tweet.

The tweet also included a snapshot of the time stamped "no caller ID" incoming phone call, listed at 9:17 p.m.

While I agree with you for safety reasons in our world today. We attach value to things that have no meaning. A disconnect in what the meaning of learning and life is. Shamika (Relisha Rudd's mom in DC) expressed herself being a great mother because she had HH on their backsides and Jordan's on their feet, yet lived in a shelter without love, support, guidance or goals. Yes, I'm going to the extreme. My son didn't have a cell phone at 12 or 13, not till 16 actually but had a laptop and could connect thru social media just as much as a phone at appropriate times. He didn't suffer from not having a cell phone socially. He spent his free time growing up learning music, playing guitar and drums, mountain biking, hiking, playing baseball, golfing, running, creating town wiffle ball leagues and flag football leagues with this friends all without the lifeline of a cell phone. We all share different opinions but the stigma of need, want and entitlement to reach a social status of what defines a teenage as normal vs. common core values of non tangible items is what is lacking for society today. I will admit any time my son was not with me, family, or at school…he had MY cell phone with him at all times in case of an emergency and for my own piece of mind. His safety, to me was important. It was not important to know my kid had a phone because all the others did too. JMO.
