Case.
When I graduated back in 1972, that may of been true , but for
many in this present time , the school days are filled with
constant fear .
A fear that after getting up , fixing their
children breakfast , and getting them on the bus and off to
school, that they may never see their chlid again ! You wait
,you wonder , you pray for their safety while at school , and
while in route.
But for some...?
February,19,1997 a quiet morning in Bethel Alaska ,a 16 year old
boy by the name of Evan Ramsey picks up a shogtun and a generous
supply of shells and heads to school. He's not planning on show
& tell either.He kills the schools principal a student,and
injured two other people, before being taken into custody.He's
now serving a 210 year sentence.
Why ? What triggered it ?
What was lacking in the schools
curriculam ? Or was he acting out a scene he had viewed in a
Hollywood movie ?
October , 1 1997 A boy in Pearl Miss.,shoots his mother,then
procedes to school where he starts shooting , and by the time
the gun is empty , nine human being lay injured on the gronud , two
fatally.
Luke Woodham , is right now serving three life, plus 140
years . Who is to blame for a senceless act of agression such as
this ?
December is here,I guess back then it was pollitically correct
to say Christmas is in the air, and happier times ahead ! But
not so for several Heath High School students in West Paducah
,Ky.
Dec,1 1997 eight human benig injured , three fatally, after gunfire
erupts in the schools hall way, leaving one of the wounded girls
paralyzed for life. Michael Carneal ,14 years old , rgiht now stands
guilty but mentally ill and pleads guilty to murder. He now
serves a life in prison sentance. On March 24,1998 Two young
boys of eleven and thirteen years of age open fire on a middle
school in Jonesboro,Ark. ,while under cover in the nearby woods
. Before the sound of gun fire fades , four girls , a teacher ,
lay dead , and a second ten are seriously wounded .
April 24,1998 The Eighth grdae graduation dance,Ah Yes, it's
supposed to be a fun time ,full of mistery and fantisizing about
your first kiss, or going steady , a young man's dream! Not so
for one young 14 year old boy.
Adnrew Wurst ,shoots the science
teacher in Edinboro, Pa. He plead guilty to third degree murder
and receives a 30 -60 year sentence.
Jacob Davis who was an "Honor Student ", On May 19 ,1998 , just
three days before graduation , Opens fire on a second student
just cause he had gone out with his ex- girlfreind !
The
shooting took place in the parking lot at Lincoln County High
,In Fayetteville , Tenn. . He received just 52 years in prison
,for taking a second persons life .
A fitting sentence I suppose ,If the person who's life that was
snuffed out ,would of only lived to the age of 52.
Lunch time !May 21, 1998 .
What could possibly hapepn while
enjoying your dinner ?
Two teen agers were killed and more than
twenty injured when a fifteen year old boy opens fire who had
previously killed his parrents in Springfield Ore.
.Kip Kinkle,
sentenced to serve 112 years in prison.
April 16,1999 .
A high shcool student in the tenth grade fires a
couple blasts from a shotgun down a hall way. Thank God , No one
was injured ! Oh ,"I guess that expression of my faith would be
inapropriate ,and might cause offence to some one." Well maybe,
If more were to be said about GOD in school, I wouldn't be
having to write about the 175 fatallities (and riseing) that has
happened from 1997 to date !
Weren't the civil rights of these students just violated ?
Isn't
it a civil right of a child to attend a public school with out
being returned to their parrents in a body bag? Wasn't it an
Idea of our fore fathers ,when drafting The Constitution ,and
The Bill of Rights (that were based on the Ten Commandments
,that clearly define the difference between right and wrong) to
keep things like this from happening ?
Those of you who may have taken offence to that last
paragraph,well, I sincerely pray that it never happens to one of
your children!
And if your child is one of the lucky ones to
reach maturity and graduate,You guess about this article,and
remember that a "Christian " prayed for it to happen ,then maybe
you'll open your hearts and minds and guess!
Eric Harris 18 ,and Daylan Klebold 17,plot the deaths of many of
their fellow students, planning strateagic locations of
improvised explosive devices for maximum devastation and killing
power. Atending gun shows and obtaining weapons ,and ideas from
the internet, of how they were going to pull it off. April 20th
1999 Littleton,Colorado12 students,and a teacher,lay dead , 23
others seriously wounded .
Collumbine High School ,now dubbed
the plcae of the deadliest school shooting in history.
Collumbine High , A community that it's school and faculty just
want to move on ,to forget ,to heal .
It's studnets hold memorial services to remember their fallen
friends.
Some make tiles in remembreance of them with crosses
and other religious symbols ,They turn to prayer,to GOD,for help
to deal with the pain ,but their stopped by the fear of the
A.C.L.U. filing suit .
So the school buckles under ,backs down
as many have cowardly done in the past.
They turn and run from
it,hoping it will just go away, while our children are falling
and dieing .
People the statistics in my reserach go on and on and I could
write about this untill I am physically ill. But it's up to you
to change your future. It's been said , that some of our best
plans for the future ,were already thought of and wrtiten in the
past.
Our fore fathers were right !
They wrote it, it wasn't
broken ,so don't try to fix it .
