"Don't Snitch"? F**k 'em. Charge them as accessories.

I just saw on Kewpie Cooper that some kids saw that dude loading up in the restroom.

Smoking?

Getting high?

Fucking?

Nobody gets hurt.

Loading up?

Hell, I am a total anarchist but I would throw down if I saw someone loading up.

Jesus, what a fucked-up picture.

This Coon family is a piece of work.

1. Coon family? Link a dink.

[TomInTib]

2. They are pretty much Crazies.

Pointy-headed White tools.

Got no link.

But this was a charter school and they knew the fucking punk was unbalanced.

So much for the inherent security of those Charter Schools.

Maybe you could go to Cooper's site and pick this up.

21. We had a Coon family break in last week

but all they loaded up on was cat food.

3. I think I agree with you

my brother lives in MD and he says they can almost never get a conviction in Baltimore because witnesses are scared shitless of comin forward.

To me this represents the total breakdown of civilized society. I'm not a big supporter of governmental authority but it's obvious we have lost the battle to the scumbags when we (as in our govrnmental representatives) cannot protect ordinary citizens from some asshole who they happen to catch doing some anti social act.

I'm not comfortable saying what I think oughta be done because it may be outside the bounds of what a lot of DU'ers might accept.

15. Does anybody else realize this. In the last seven years the craziest

fighting bunch of nuts have been turned loose all over this country. It is as if they think, (along the republican lines) they are entitled to do what ever the hell they want.

Obviously, I am going to be doing some Copy-and Paste on this one.

12. OK, doesn't help, but thanks

13. how many high school aged kids are going to go after somebody loading a gun?

14. Coon Family..........have you lost your mind

This Coon family is a piece of work.

16. The boy's name was Asa Coon

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article3047670.ece

A 14-year-old boy wearing a Marilyn Manson concert t-shirt and black fingernail polish walked into his high school in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday and shot four people before turning one of his .38-calibre revolvers on himself.

The gunman was the only person who died in the incident. Two adults and two teenagers were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds and were expected to survive. A fifth person, a teenage girl, injured her knee in a fall as she raced to get away from the scene of the shooting.

The 14-year-old boy, Asa Coon, was described by classmates and neighbours as frequently volatile and angry. He was suspended for fighting at the beginning of the week and was not supposed to be in school at all.

17. Thank you, I am vaguely aware of the story.

[Cerridwen]

18. I'll attempt a translation - the Clevelend Highschool shooting today...

the 14 year old shooter was named Asa Coon

article link

Disgruntled about having been suspended on Monday after a fight, a 14-year-old student shot and injured two students and two teachers at a downtown Cleveland high school on Wednesday before fatally shooting himself, the authorities said.

<snip>

The police would not elaborate on the fight that led to Mr. Coon’s suspension this week. Court documents showed that he spent time in juvenile detention centers, stemming, in part, from at least one incident of domestic violence.

Court records also show that he threatened to commit suicide last year while in the care of a mental health facility, and that he had a problematic relationship with his mother. They also show that he refused to take medication and was suspended from school last year for trying to physically harm another student.

I believe Tom also heard that some kids saw this kid loading his weapons in the bathroom and didn't "snitch" on him and that they should have "ratted him out".

I pasted the parts above that may have led to "This Coon family is a piece of work."


Some serious crap happened to that boy in his lifetime. Other articles talk about him being bullied, harassed and punched for bumping into others; he shot one of those kids. Other articles also talk about this kid having some serious "issues" with anger.

I'll leave it to the arm-chair psychiatrists to take it from there.

I'll just ask, again, what I've asked for many years now - what have we become?

[RB TexLa]

19. Thank you as not all of us are in Cleveland

[Cerridwen]

20. You're welcome. I'm not either. I'm just a wiz at google. :D

And Tom's rather, uh, vague post created a mystery I just had to solve. I'm weird that way.

:D
