Where has the time gone?

So I havnt said anything stupid on Blogger.com in afew days so I decided I would follow up my randomness with something a bit on the serious side (and then end with a bit of something random)

So I live pretty close to Pottstown PA and there have been alot of news reports about a 9th grader who was *PLOTTING* to commit crimes at the HS he belonged to using STOLLEN guns. The stories all say about the same thing "thank god we got it in time" "This is a disturbed young man" "he was a loner" (which apparently makes it 'obvious he was going to do something like this ... i dont get it' "He is being charged with attempted murder, recieving stolen propery, pocession of stollen property, burglary, conspiracy to commit a crime and some others I cant rcallall of them" any way I think this i totally asinine BS that the media (and authorities/oddicials) are saying this is solely this kids fault. The media themselves say the kid wa s a straight A student until 9th grade when his grades slipped so badly he had to repeat the grade again. He spent the better part of 2 yrs being picked on made to feel like shit. Who wouldnt be upset adn want revenge? especially when (as the media puts it) the boy was involved in alot of verbal and physical fights (usally on the recieving end of these 'fights') The boy told the school to stop these kids from bullying him and they did nothing. They viewed it as a joke and ignoreed it. Well maybe the people who SHOULD be blamed here are the teachers and school officials who made it worse by suspending him and lettign the bullies get away with this torture. Also the buglary and recieving stolen propery charges with NOT sutick (if he has a good attorney) the boyLIVED in the house where he took the guns from so he did nt recieve stolen anything. The media is jumping all over this like flys on rotten meat ... they are only showing 1 out of every 100 gun incidents to harp on th danger but never tell the stories where guns saved lives or protected someone.

On another note I heard some funn stuff at work i'll update later have o GO to work uggghhhh
