We usually don't have school guards at all in Sweden. There has been one single incident ever when a pupil got shot and that wasn't a "real" school shooting, since the killer had no connection whatsoever to the school other than that the victim owned him some money for drugs.

Well, that's stupid. How can someone pay you if you shoot him? I would have just broken a few fingers, and maybe an arm.

I guess he tried to force him to pay, there was a fight and the drug dealer shot him.

Thanks again, the more I think about it, the more I realize he probably was concerned about getting "caught" for not being at his post, and thus his strong reaction. Probably if I had known or been able to say something mouthy back to him, all would have been well.

I have never dealt well with authority, it freaks me out each time, they seem so inhuman, almost demonic. The last time I was pulled over by a cop (2001) he went ballistic (far worse than this incident), and I still can't figure out what I did wrong that time. :?

Werbert made me laugh, :lol: :lol: :lol: , no offense taken ;). I accept the offer of an island with food, internet, and no people. :D Since I'm the puppetmaster behind the whole conspiracy, it only makes sense that I should rule from a secure compound on a remote island.

Whoa, hold on a minute. Who said anything about a secure compund. I was just planning on dumping you in the South Pacific with 50,000 boxes of Cheerios, a laptop, and a really long cable.

The security guard seems unable to determine where his boundaries are. I personally can't believe that anyone takes a job like that seriously unless they are basically idiots. The job is a joke because the guard has no chance in hell of repelling any serious attack, probably not even a chance of calling it in. The only thing he really has a chance of doing is hassling people. When people know that they don't accomplish much except to cause misery, even if they like it, they get strange.
