Joplin Mo. Judge denies bond reduction in school-gun case

February 17th, 2008 by admin

Judge denies bond reduction in school-gun case.

The short version:
This 15 year old is accused of taking an assault rifle on Oct. 9, 2006, to Memorial Middle School, pointing the gun at an assistant superintendent, firing it into a ceiling of the school and repeatedly attempting to shoot the school principal as he was escorting him out of the building. …..Wasn’t this guy smart enough to take the weapon away?!? This is just the sort of genius I want running my child’s school if there’s an emergency.

Police say the gun jammed after the initial shot because of an improperly seated magazine.

Now the public defender says that because this person, who has been certified as an adult, is isolated from the general population in the jail, isn’t allowed to go to school, and can only see his mommy once a month, this constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

This punk tried to kill somebody and we should feel sorry for him???

What the hell is up with all these school shootings?
—New gun laws won’t help. The father was arrested on weapons charges relating to this case, so a change in the law would not have mattered.

We’re talking about a cultural problem, and in some cases a complete bungling of the way their insanity was treated.
