what...the....fuck............

Third-Graders Charged in Plot to Kill Teacher

woah....

"Police seized a broken steak knife, a chunk of glass, red gloves, toy handcuffs, duct tape and a number of other items they may have planned to use in the attack.

Police say the third-graders assigned themselves different tasks including covering-up the windows and cleaning up afterwords.

Chief Tanner says the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a crystal paperweight, bind her with the handcuffs and tape, and then stab her with the knife."



omg.....

This is one of the more heartbreaking stories I've heard. I'm going to be a teacher and things like this make me wonder what it is that I've gotten myself into.

Yeah we were talking about that in geography today. I didn't know it was nine of them, though. You usially don't see that many small people so messed up as to actually want to commit murder. Although I bet most of them thought of it more as a game and chickened out and that's why police found out about it. I didn't read the article yet, and I'm sure it has that information, but I'm in a hurry.

Terrible though. I blame Marilyn Manson and that "Doom" video game.

Well,I don't think being a teacher is too dangerous. Even if you're a hardass, plots like this usually don't expand beyond fantasies and a few notebook scribbles. Not that I'd be comfortable having students fantasize about my death, but as long as I don't die...

What if they had done it, though? That would have been really disturbing.

This kind of thing definitely isn't the norm but the idea that 3rd graders are thinking about it is incredibly disturbing. I'll stick to pre-school and kindergarten, thank you very much

kids in school do crazy things. I once found a glass beer bottle in the 3rd floor bathroom...

I think those kids watch too much tv. I hardly watch anything other than the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and um....well thats it pretty much...but Imagine what they coulve gotten into if they went through with killing her? omg...

you know if theyd done it they would probably all regret it and then go into a kinda mental depression for the rest of their lives.

kids that young...

a 9th grader is 13 - 15 yo... thats prime rebellion stage... is it really that shocking an the fact every time you turn to cnn another school shooting story is on.. kids know they become famous if they do something stupid... just a fact of life... there have always been school shooting and things like this going on... columbine and the others were jsut first to be publicized nationally.

Because the shootings are finally spreading from the low income and more ethnically diverse areas into middle "white" America. That's why they get so much more coverage now.

These kids are just a prime example of what our "entertainment" does to young impressionable children.

This whole thing is deeply depressing. These are 8 year olds! Video games, movies, the telly, the apathetic attitude toward violence, all of this is contributing. I want innocent children back!
