kdbutler 563 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Give the students 5 minutes alone with the guy. Then maybe they could fix his brand of stupid. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superA 289 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not only was the teacher a dumb ass, but, I wondered about the mindset of the kids to just line up to be shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Fail! Everyone who has ever welded knows tat you do not use blank guns to go bang- you make oxy-aceteline bombs to go BOOM! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Fail! Everyone who has ever welded knows tat you do not use blank guns to go bang- you make oxy-aceteline bombs to go BOOM! My Dad had a heavy wall piece of 2' pipe on his welding table. On cold mornings he would hold the unlit torch over the top and fill it full of gas then pop the striker over the top. It would make a hell of a bang. Thanks for bringing back that memory GOB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoskinsoneman 72 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 This guy doesn't deserve jail. He's probably a good guy who made a really dumb mistake. He should get 20 serious public lashes and not be allowed to teach again. Man what a retarded thing to do. I'm just glad one of these kid's fathers didn't hear about it before this guy was in custody or there would be two people going to jail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hello I'm not saying the guy should have done what he did, but there's always two sides.... It may have been the first time in hte entire semester that he even got the students attention. He may have gotten threatened with physical violence every time he tried to get his students to do something. Doesn't explain how he managed to get them to comply with his request to get up against the wall, but who knows when the gun actually came out? Point is, the "craft" of teaching isn't what it used to be.... JMHO... -guido in Houston "God Loves Liberty" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Dumb... The guy was probably close to snapping and was acting out what he really wanted to do to a bunch of bad students. Or scare the hell out of them and keep them in line through fear. Lol! But seriously... Terrible choice of a stress reliever or control technique. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patriot 7,197 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That shows how stupid the "gun free school zone" law is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That dude has some serious mental illness going on. Normal people dont do that. Something is seriously screwy in his brain right now and he needs to be checked out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nlacy 692 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That was pretty fucking stupid. That said I used to teach high school in STL. My first assignment was to take over the classroom for a guy who had a nervous breakdown. So while it was not a bright thing to do, I can see why it might have happened.

twoskinsoneman 72 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That shows how stupid the "gun free school zone" law is. How dare you! I'm sure he just didn't know about the law. After all having a law against guns on campus WILL keep homicidal maniacs from bringing one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stacks 42 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That shows how stupid the "gun free school zone" law is. I remember in high school, for the first three weeks of class every year, idiots would keep bringing guns and knives to school. Then they'd get expelled and we'd just be left with the kids who would fight every day. Watching faculty beat the shit out of teenagers never gets old. Hell, if that guy worked at my old school, he might have gotten a raise. On the bright side, its easy to score an eighth when every third kid is a drug dealer. Going to school in the ghetto is a laugh riot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Was it a blank firing replica or a real pistol with blanks? Either way it was a very stupid move and he's lucky none of the students had the balls to do the right thing during the event. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Guess he saw The Substitute one too many times and thought he could actually get away with that kinda shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3rDokiFU9w&feature=related It's an alright movie, but so unrealistic. The guy'd be charged with 3x assault, (no wait, 4, 1 charge for dropping that f-bomb in front of those precious angels), and with a "hate crime", just for what he did in this scene alone.

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Blank wads have injured and/or killed people, he recklessly endangered their health/lives, so this isn't just stupidity, this is criminal stupidity. He definitely deserves to be charged. But should he lose his 2A Rights? That is a serious question. Edited April 20, 2012 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 he should be charged accordingly. blanks or not if that was a student that brought one to school they would freak the fuck out. the justice of the law should have no mercy. they wouldnt on me or you, would they? especially in a classroom. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone who has ever welded knows tat you do not use blank guns to go bang- you make oxy-aceteline bombs to go BOOM! I always like sticking one of those little red "lady finger" firecrackers, in the mig tip. Just trim the fuse and they hide perfectly in there with a tapper tip...gives ya just enoug time to strike an ark, and get a puddle going before it pops and splatters everywhere.
