Quote from peilthetraveler:
Did i say something untrue?
I guess im just a little shocked at how much media coverage this is getting and how this guy is portrayed as a hero. I seriously doubt that girl would've shot anyone. She was obviously someone who was picked on alot and probably nobody stood up for her ever. It looks to me like she wanted off the bus and was extremely frustrated.
I blame the parents....not the parents of the girl holding the gun, but the parents of the other kids that treated her so disrespectfully. If those kids were taught to treat each other with respect, I'm 100% certain that the girl would never feel the need to bring a gun to school.
I think the guy that tackled her was reckless. The gun could've gone off when he tackled her and killed someone. I think there was more of a chance of someone getting killed by him tackling her than of her just shooting someone. She was not even really pointing the gun at anyone. She just had it in her hand and making normal gestures with her hands. Not the kind of thing you do if you really intend to kill someone.
