It seems America’s schools are it’s new Post Offices. Places where disgruntled employees students show up and go apeshit, attacking everybody in sight. There was a bit of a twist to the one that just happened yesterday in Pennsylvania. The attacker didn’t have a gun.
He came into the school with two knives and stabbed about 20 people before he was subdued. He survived, will stand trial, and be examined by psychiatrists extensively, no doubt. More importantly, none of his victims died (fingers crossed on that one – four people are still in serious condition.)
Alex Hribal
American gun nuts are saying “See. If crazy people want to go on a killing spree, banning guns won’t stop them. They will use a knife, or a baseball bat, or a golf club.” I had one young lady (well, I have no way of knowing if she’s young or not. For all I know, she might not even be a lady) make almost exactly that argument on my facebook page.
This is beyond stupidity. It’s exactly the opposite of what we should learn from this attack.
If Alex Hribal had indeed used a baseball bat instead of a pair of knives, he probably still would have struck out. Unlike a knife, they require two hands to swing, thus halving the number of possible victims in a similar space of time, and he would have been relieved of his bat by the first bigger, stronger kid to come along.
Ditto the golf clubs, plus they might have attracted attention when he brought them into school.
It’s the guns that kill. In these school shootings, it’s specifically high-powered, automatic weapons.
It takes a serious fucking imbecile not to be able to see that.
