Imagine kicking a child off their school bus in the middle of a series of random shootings just for eating candy. The bus driver and local government should've been held responsible for both that and the abhorrent decision to keep schools open during this time.
@kkwun49692 жыл бұрын
bus drivers and teachers cream over the power they had over us. with one bus driver we would get written up for not following directions if we did our homework on the bus, if she even suspected our lips were moving because we would clinch our teeth when we expected a bump to throw us in the air she would yell at us for trying to sneak words out. the school i went to would hold kids back as many times as possible to milk the most amount of money per student (they get payed from the government by student) and so they would not teach in class if one kid laughs at anothers joke. the amount of coffee they drank was simply unhealthy and had similar effects of meth and to this day i only drink coffee when it is absolutely needed and i never EVER drink more coffee than a teaspoon can hold in fear of becoming like them.

@@keshi5541 Serial killers MOs usually only include a specific type of person, so if the killer isn't targeting children it isn't unreasonable to think they won't... in most cases. These two were killing at random, with nothing linking the victims, which should've made people realise that kids were not safe just because they hadn't been attacked yet, it's a baffling decision
@keshi55412 жыл бұрын
@@ClikcerProductions Exactly my point, from their attempts of linking the victims everything was at random like race, gender and even age. If a psychopath was killing people at random, I don't think the smartest idea would be to open up schools (Its also kind of making a test like whether the person would stoop so low). Also serial killers actually do kill children (there are many stories of this happening(. I can mention heaps that have done so. They aren't angels bro. Overall a dumb decision.

No one wants to go outside, get gas, go to the store, wait at a bus stop, walk out of a building, wait in the car, or anything. It was so randomized which is what got everyone. You may think, "It could never happen to me" but then out of nowhere, he shot you in the most random of places and you had no idea where it came from. Crazy how it seemed recent.

It's a basic rifle round, nowhere close to a "sniper" round. For comparison, the .223 holds ~55 grains whereas an actual sniper round like the 7.62 is ~175 grains, more than 3x as powerful.

@@brad144k Relax. Life is difficult with Government intervention because of Covid 19 but is not as bad as you may think. It is the usual story of political blame gaming that cause a lot of the problems. The issue with the lockdowns we had were caused by people who are basically 'professional demonstrators'. They were the big news items which made it worse than the general behaviour of most people who followed the rules. Many businesses were in dire straights due to the lockdowns where people weren't able to go to work unless you had an exemption which were issued to essential workers. Unless you were rich and probably a donor to a political party, you couldn't get an exemption other than work but no travel. Rich and famous could which caused a lot of anger with people who couldn't travel interstate to see family or be with loved ones who were sick and dying. We have six States and two Territories making up the country and because different parties were governing that State or Territory, they all made their own rules as to closing their borders for travel. This actually worked and now with most opened up again, there are many cases and I mean many of Covid being reported and death numbers are increasing. We have to wear a mask when shopping also check in with a QR code. A number of people who pass are ones that haven't been vaccinated or sadly, are elderly. We have similar problems as America where you have people who refuse to be vaccinated because they either don't trust the Government (who can blame them) or just on the "I wont be told what to do". Help this helps to answer your query. Stay healthy and stay safe.

When I was in college in Santa Barbara, California, my friends and I met a kid whose last name was Muhammed, and he said he was from Maryland. He wound up hanging around and basically living on our couch for a couple months. One night a couple of my friends and this kid were hanging out, doing silly hijinks and someone called the cops on them. When the cops ran this kid’s ID, it turned out he was a 17 year old runaway. None of us suspected this, but we did figure out that a lot of what he’d been telling us had been half-truths and some was just flat out lies. Because he was basically a missing person, he was sent home to Maryland (turns out that was one of the few things he’d been honest about). About a month later, the news started talking about the “DC Sniper”. One of my friends joked that maybe it was that kid shooting people because he was mad he got sent back. After they caught the guy, whose last name was Muhammad, and they found out he’d had a teenage accomplice, we seriously were wondering if that joke was prescient… Eventually, the whole story came out and we were relieved it wasn’t the kid we’d been harboring. A few months later that kid came back (this time with his parents’ OK), and after a few more months he’d gotten himself into trouble for various criminal acts (not murder though) and had to move back home to Maryland. This is why I will always remember this particular terrible moment in history 😟
