GUILTY Pa - One Adult, 20 Students Stabbed At Murrysville High School, 9 April 2014

  • #141
his lawyer said:"He's not a loner. He works well with other kids," he said. "...He's scared. He's a young kid. He's 16, looks like he's 12. I mean, he's a very young kid and he's never been in trouble so this is all new to him."

there is a movie? called 'following'? my friend just told me by FB that it has allot of stabbing in it.......could he be imitating that? Mentally is he 16? OT I went to school with a guy with that last name who died young with a brain tumor.............could it be????

May I add that we embrace ALL opinions! If we pick them apart, feel free to pick a part ours. :) WS, is about finding the truth, and nothing else, provides the best results! :)

I know I'm going to sound like an old 'fuddy duddy' & that is exactly what I am & I know it.

Far too many kids today are not disciplined at all. Way too many parents think their kid's temper tantrums are cute which only causes the children to think that they can get away with any behavior. Schools are no longer allowed to discipline children. All this is the result of 'experts' deciding quite a few years ago that a child's self esteem was more important than anything else & that they should never be held accountable for their actions. Children must be taught that there are consequences for their behavior, good or bad.

Then we have the drug problem. How many of these poor kids are born with a 'fried' brain because of their parent's drug use?

We, as a society, have failed our children & now we & they are paying the price.

No, I do NOT advocate beating your child, but there are appropriate ways to discipline them.

I'll climb down off my soapbox now. All the above is JMO

"They did not foresee this at all," his lawyer said about the parents.

Love your opinion!

I think it starts very young. When parents don't make their children a priority. Parents are all about themselves while coddling their little snowflakes when they pick them back up after 10 hours at daycare. If you don't show a child they've valued, how are they ever going to learn to value themselves and others?

I don't know the history of this child,but to stab 20 people,is a very violent thing to do.The
anger that must have been inside is scary.A ticking time bomb.People are saying he may have been bullied at school,but more than often I wonder if they are bullied by their own parents.We can learn a lot from a home situation.

Pa. High School Stabbing Suspect Alex Hribal Not 'Well-Liked': Source
http://abcnews.go.com/US/pa-high-school-stabbing-suspect-alex-hribal-source/story?id=23258421

If true, Alex Hribal had red flags. People who commit mass shootings or stabbings on schools or rampage killers have red flags.

“It was pretty common knowledge between all the kids that he had made some death threats,” said the source, who graduated from the school in 2010 and whose sister is a sophomore there.

“I guess the kids who got the threats just assumed it’s no big deal," he said, noting his sister was “about a foot or two” from another student who was stabbed today.

I have read that many school shooters have been bullied or basically abused by their parents. Gary Scott Pennington, Jason Hoffman, Eric Hainstock, and Evan Ramsey.

IDENTIFIED: Student, 16, 'who left TWENTY injured, five critically, after stabbing spree with two knives' at Pennsylvania high school
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...eople-injured-high-school-stabbing-spree.html

Hribal's peers described the 16-year-old as a smart, quiet teen who 'was not bullied.'

Maybe he was bullied or not bullied.

'I don't know what could possibly motivate him to do it,' Shane Molyneaux told NBC News.

'He was somewhat friendly. He was very smart. He was not bullied and he did not seem like a mean kid. He did have friends.'

Meixer told CNN of the suspect: 'He kept to himself a lot,' she said. 'He didn't have that many friends that I know of, but I also don't know of him getting bullied that much.'

Hribal was quiet and not widely known. He said most victims did not appear to be linked with him and were simply close by when the attack began.

... he "always kept to himself." "He didn't talk to many people." "He wasn't mean or anything, he just wasn't outgoing."

... some students thought Hribal had been anxious or upset recently, and that he had shouted at a girl who had asked to see his homework Wednesday morning.

... students on social media were getting threatened last night that they would be beaten or killed.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/09/pa-school-stabbings/7498911/

The attacker "had the same expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part", he said. "He wasn't saying anything. He didn't have any anger on his face. It was just a blank expression."

Seefeld said Hribal was subdued by the school resource officer, who is also a member of the town's police department, and an assistant principal. Seefeld said the knives were 8 to 10 inches in length.
"He's the most seriously injured patient that I'm aware of in the UPMC system," he said. (about the 17 yr old in critical condition.)

Terrifying. :( I might be missing something, but why is the fire alarm pulling being seen as advantageous in that situation? I would assume swarmed hallways make for easier victims. Seems hard to break into a locked classroom with a knife.

from USA Today linked above-----------
"I'd witnessed people say things to him," she said. "I couldn't tell you who said. I didn't realize it was all that bad."

She didn't know what the teasing was about, but she described it as relentless at times.

"They just said things. They'd ride him and ride him, and today was the day that he snapped," she said."

I wish the truth would be reported. Ive read numerous articles that said the teen was never bullied yet now I read this.

cbm
Were the death threats ignored by school officals or not known about.

Parents are puzzled by their son’s behavior because he’s never shown any need for psychiatric treatment. ... they all ate dinners together each night and that Alex was also a good student who got along with others.

Classmates called him quiet and someone who kept to himself, “a little misunderstood” and someone they felt always “had a different side to him that nobody knew,”

______________

[classmates] said he was not an outcast and they saw no indication before the attack that he might be violent.

"He was never mean to anyone, and I never saw people be mean to him." "I never saw him with a particular group of friends."

http://www.the-news-leader.com/ap g...police-seek-motive-of-school-stabbing-rampage

________

He had had no psychiatric or disciplinary problems, and his family described him as a good student who mingled well with others, family attorney said.

http://wnax.com/news/030030-officials-seek-motive-in-school-stabbing-spree/

____________

[a classmate] said they spoke a couple of times but always about school-related things. She would compare answers with him and pass his test scores back to him, and said he was sort-of nerdy, studied a lot and that his test scores were “pretty good.”

She also said he was quiet and didn’t have a lot of friends.
