High School male with AS stabs classmate.

Post Reply New Topic

Reminds of an epoisode of "Peoples Court" I saw like 20 years ago
in which a nerdy thin guy hit a guy with a hammer. The bully was
a little bigger in build but about the same height. The judge felt it was very unreasonable for the hammer to be used.

Bringing a deadly weapon into a fight that your unlikely to die from
if you lose is a crime. No question about it.

But that being said if someone attacks me I'm going to use every means to stop them. I do not faught the guy for using the knife but
I support law and order to and he will have to serve some time for this. I think the bullying and the impulsive nature of hyperactivity
(ADHD-H) would be mitiagting circumstances so ideally if I was the judge I would confine him till he was 21.

Nowhere in that article does it mention bullying. The victim was a reportedly a special needs student. How often do SpEd students bully others? Usually they are bullied. In other articles about the incident, interviewed students never knew the victim because he was "A special needs student who was with his teacher all the time". Details like these are being pulled down off of news sites as quickly as they went up, so who knows what is true.

The murderer was reportedly obsessed with weapons and violence, and had been talking about killing people for some time. So let's wait until we get all of the details before declaring him a hero.

The problem with punishing him harshly now is that it is unlikely to stop other people from doing the same as kids don't watch the news (generally not even aspie kids) so they won't know or care what sentence he got. From what I have heard about it so far it sounds totally accidental or snappish either way it will probably be a manslaughter conviction (accidental death can be murder 2 or 3 but chances are they would plead him down do to migitgating circimstances... aka the fact that he is a 16 year old sped student with a server developmental disability, and if it was snappish EED (extreme emotional distress, sorta like temporary insanity)=manslaughter) or he will plead insane (from the sound of it he is pretty close) and try to get treatment even if it is unlikely that he will be treated. Though then again I don't know all the details about this case thats just what it sounds like so far, this defientally doesn't seem like murder 1 to me though, no matter how much he obsessed about weapons (which seems like its over-emphasied and no more then a preservation, although certianaly a negative one). The one way I see him getting murder 1 or 2 is if the boy found out about the knife and he used it to keep him quiet not realizing he was killing him, hopefully thats not the case. I hope some of that made sense I am a bit tired.

I really like you all, this is nice place with good people in it. Me has re-read the posting an concluded there wasn't ever any specific bullying going on, it mentions this not my friend I do think bullying is like hell, an I live it long time since school days. Me not glad for school, happy ended.

Perhaps true he carried for protection, then was attacked or similar an such. Many atime I wanted to kill bully, but in my case there was so many it pointless lmao

I want to mention to all of you even though in prison he'll be bullied much more and in a hell, at least there he knows what he's instore for. In school you never know, and in a way it's much more horrible than living in a jail place. Of course I'd prefer nobody get in trouble, that boy not be hurt.. yes well that it.

Thank u for readin

Frack.....

That's just great! So now people are going to stereotype anyone who claims to have Asperger Syndrom. We're going to fall in the category of "ka-razy" and have the the potential to harm others.
