I think not.And Snoops I was just returning the favor you've paid me many a time yourself. 🙂 🙂
Pointing out you random idiocy? 😕
Or should the police open fire when ever they "feel" like there in danger?
Uh... yes.
OK at NO time did I say the police did the wrong thing. Once again the bulk of you missed my point. My point is that I'm appalled at how some of you people were so quick to post "the kid got what he deserved!!!!" etc, without voicing a comment at the horror of the entire situation for ALL parties involved FIRST. In other words, or simpler words, some of you are heartless individuals, whom I sincerely hope have some great measure of misfortune befall you so that others can pass judgement without a shred of common decency or sympathy. Shame on you.
Hopefully that explanation was easy enough for those whom Im addressing to understand. I dont have time to draw you a pretty picture. 🙄

Because they wanted to ensure their safetey and that of all the other kids. When someone points a gun at a cop the cop wants to put the person down as quicky as possible. The best way to do this is with a gun

Fight fire with fire? Sounds like the most logical way to extinguish a taught situation.

And when did I claim to have a heart?

No, not in the least, but it was the easiest thing to do. What makes us so sure that paticular officer was informed of it's fake-status? Or the team dealing with him?

If I got told the person had a fake knife by no less then 3 people, and no one else was in danger(everyone had left), and I was wearing body armour(swat have alot of this) I think I might take the chance to try to save the prep...

Erm... Everyone had left.. It was just the kid and the cops... They got told he didn't have a real gun by 3 differnet people, Concidering the amount of protection they have and the position the kid was in. They could of tried anything... ANYTHING... and could of got a better outcome..

Not an unbelievably awesome comeback, Bardock, actually utterly obnoxious. I'm insulted for her and I don't even have kids. To hear that shit from a 16 year old little boy is terrible.
Matt, you're well out of line with that comment. I really don't know why people humour you.
As for your question, how are we sure he wasn't informed? It works both ways.

I am not sure if you know what he was refering to, but what JP told us she did to her kids was worse than 1984 ...so at least to me that was hilarious and a rather reasonable comeback.
the student said he was going to kill himself or die
Hmm where I come from when you kill yourself you usually die....but it might be different where that kid comes from.

I was wondering where Whob's been.
Oh, poor whob....he didn't deserve to die that way.
By the way, it's two days now since JP posted that, two things I am interested in does "lethal force was used by the sheriff's office" mean he was killed, or just badly wounded..and second, was the gun real now or just a toy gun?
[edit] Oh yes, and if he actually wanted to die, he should be happy now. He got what he wanted.

Just the fact that he said 'if they exist'. Out of line.

Ouch..that's pretty bad. But let's wait till we judge:
I believe we said the same thing about you when we learned how you parented your kids. Well, if they exist.
Hmm, yes pretty bad...humorous at the same time...an appropriate response I'd say.
None of them would actually win the Mother Theresa Niceness Contest....so I don't see the problem.
Originally posted by SyrenPeople here have lied about all kinds of things. You don't know what I'm referring too, how she claims to have "parented" her children, or even my correct age.
Great response. Why wouldn't I? All I know is that you've questioned her having children, in an antagonistic manner.
I thought you'd turned 16 recently... my mistake. Not that it's even relevant, are you younger than 16? Makes it even worse IMO.
I don't need to know exactly what you're referring to, I still think that you were out of line in questioning whether her children exist. So what if she parents her children in a way you don't agree with. You're not a parent, you have no room to judge.
Originally posted by SyrenNope, but at the time my parent was standing right behind me and saying a variety of various, not nice things about her parenting skills.

How old are you? You're about... 23. How did you grow up? How am I growing up? We're kids, ahve been kids, we know what shit parenting is or not, because we'd be on the recieving end of it.
