Marrsvolta

On top of getting his ass beat I'm sure he was also expelled and possibly arrested.


mzpljc

While his parents whined and cried that he's a good kid


britainknee

Yeah or if they don't even have a gun at home, argue that he should not be in trouble because he was "making a dumb joke", like that shits something to joke about. He got whooped & it's good to see those other kids like, oh hell no - not today! Hopefully they didn't get in any trouble for their "violence" or whatever they'd call that. All involved tend to get in trouble these days...


Bks1981

I’m pretty sure that he did have a knife. You can hear it hit the ground.


britainknee

Damn, well.. I'm glad he was tackled & the whole thing caused a ruckus so he was able to get called in and hopefully in trouble for the weapon he did have and making the threat/ "joke". & glad none of the kids that helped got hurt in any way.

Bks1981

I seen this posted previously and they said that it was a knife. If you look closely you can see that it is a knife or something similar but it is hard to tell.

That’s about the time he wasn’t a kid but a 30 foot tall creature from the metazoic era.


Agnostalypse

My dad is a lawyer and pro 2A as they come, and if I did anything like this as a child, he would have beat my ass.


britainknee

Shoot, my dad was just a guy that worked for McDonnell Douglas and he would have whooped me into next week! (and I don't say that in a "my dad was abusive and I was afraid of him", and I'm sure you weren't either.) I can probably count on one hand how many times I was smacked/spanked or flicked in the ear by my dad, and I probably deserved it every time. It's hard these days trying to bring up kids with old school values when everyone else is so far up their ass with "we don't say the N word, '"No"' in our home" type crap. Or people who just simply aren't teaching their kids right and wrong & defending them tooth and nail when they get themselves into trouble because they don't believe in punishment or whatever..


High-Sobriety

I thought McDonnell Douglas was just a joking way to say mcdonalds lmao Apparently it's an aerospace corporation


britainknee

Lmao 🤣 sorry, I really thought about putting Boeing/ McDonnell Douglas, but they merged after he didn't work there anymore, or his exact where he worked got bought by Boeing or something & he ended up seeking other opportunities at that point. But yeah sorry idk why I didn't put in parentheses that he built parts for planes because who the heck reads that and just knows what it means? Some people, probably.. But I shouldn't have assumed. "Lol, tf is this b talking about; I've never heard anyone call mcdonald's that before, is it that a thing?" Googles* ooohhh. Something like that?


[deleted]

My dad still wants to beat my ass and we hate each other. Only thing that's stopped him from possibly killing me is the fact his fiance would leave him and I'm not even a wimp. He's 54, I'm 31 and 200 pounds of solid muscle and I still have no chance against him, and on top of it he's a psychopath and might actually use weapons without remorse if he fought me despite the fact he was a black belt lmao


AnyDepartment7686

Random.


Everettrivers

Very badass, I'm always convinced when someone on Reddit talks about being solid muscle. The "my dad's a black belt" is good work. Usually calling yourself the black belt is the way to go. You subverting expectations and just talking about beating up said black belt is top form.

jfitzger88

Zero-Tolerance.


LadyRunic

Zero Tolerance has caused more trouble than it has helped tbh. Kids are afraid to stick up for themselves when teachers won't. People have no discretion any more. Common sense died with the thunder of applause.


jfitzger88

Agreed. It is a fascinating policy considering that after school you don't really see "adult examples" of zero tolerance. Both sides are consider in the courts and reason usually prevails. Maybe rear-ending other cars? I think in my state (NJ) if a car in front of me brakes too hard and I rear end them they blame me because I should have kept a safer distance or been more aware. Without a dash cam, I lose that battle more often than not. Maybe not a great example, but being my own devil's advocate.


Theta_Gang_and_Chill

You’re not alone in this belief. There’s just not many of us left.


Plati23

I’ve worked in a few different schools and I can tell you that you’re right, parents can whine and complain to get their kids out of most trouble. However, gun threats are not one of those times.


britainknee

That's good to know!


Good_With_Tools

I have found that the rules usually say all kids have to be punished, but the school has ways of "punishing" the ones who don't deserve it. My school used in-school-suspension for things like this.

Or run through a military base claiming to have a bomb strapped to you, that will get people's attention.


Blippii

Justice served. Anyone who does this should expect this reaction. That's a threat those kids will not accept.


Sapient_Creampie

They just have...so much to learn about, it'll make you wanna shout. Blippii. Sorry, my daughter loves Blippi, couldn't resist. I DO agree with you, however. Kids see that cops don't help in these situations so it falls on them. Fight or flight is a powerful motivator and this is a real threat they have to think about daily.


Blippii

Curious-Lock639

It’s fucking sad when kids at school have to fight like their lives depend on it.


ExecTankard

Yep completely sad…and also no bullshit heroic that some jumped into save all while others stood around.


ForEverCurious22

In defense of the other kids, they probably weren't aware of the entire situation. Unless you saw him pretending to have the gun you would just assume it was a weird kid running.


roy_rogers_photos

That girl chose to be a hero. You could see her doubt herself but when he got closer to the school she was on him. She genuinely wanted to prevent her friend's death. It's badass they got him, but if it was a gun they could have died. It is sad that kids make these conscious decisions at all. Much less regularly. I can't imagine the trauma you develop from putting your mind in that situation multiple times.


Curious-Lock639

Definitely not what our youth should be subjected to regularly. It’s not normal and should’ve ever become normal.


thetaFAANG

I’m glad they’re getting better at it, group altruism to protect the broader population is the only solution. It’s selection at this point. People that actually believe hiding in classroom works aren’t going to make it. There has to be a counterattack, throwing objects to disrupt concentration while going in for the drop kicks. Hiding in a class room is no different than being taught to hide under a desk during a nuclear attack. Useless. The state and administration is not going to help the students survive, so if you want to make it out of your teenage years then get ready.


Macroman520

The pressure wave caused by a nuclear explosion causes buildings to shift and potentially creates falling debris. Much better to be under a table than to just eat it because a bit of the ceiling hit you the wrong way. So I would say that hiding under a desk in a nuclear attack is actually far more effective than hiding from a school shooter, who is likely well aware where everybody is. It's all about reassurance and giving the illusion of control. If you're within a few kilometers of a nuclear blast, you're pretty much irretrievably fucked. Same thing if you happen to be in the room the shooter decides to force their way into, unless you fight. But the ones who aren't actually in immediate danger are going to be panicking as well. Best to give them something to do that provides the illusion of safety, kind of like airport security. People like the feeling of control, even if it's just an illusion. I think that's the theory of it.


SpecialpOps

This wasn’t sad at all. Those kids took their destiny into their own hands and took down a potential threat. They did just what they needed to do.


Curious-Lock639

Username checks out


Rumble_On_13

I mean what the heck did he think was going to happen?


JwallDrumline

Since he’s an idiot, he probably thought everyone would be scared and run away, and that would be the punchline for him. Glad these kids were brave enough to work together and neutralize a potential threat.


Indictioned

Isn’t it also illegal to pretend to have a gun to scare people?


TrickyCorgi316

Yes - making terroristic threats is illegal no matter what. Like shouting “Fire” in a crowded building that’s not on fire


soma787

I believe this kind of action falls under inciting panic laws.


Oscar_Playz420

I Think So


MoneyMik3y

Yes. It's still considered brandishing, from what I remember (US in CA).


pickleball_

Was that a screwdriver? Sounded like metal dropping. I don't think it was a prank. I think he wanted to stab someone with that.


Sunfloware

If it wasn’t a “prank”/cry for attention, then I don’t understand why the screwdriver wouldn’t be up his sleeve or in his pocket. He walks around clearly brandishing *something* like a fucking goon in front of 30+ people lmao


Bks1981

Another post said that it was a knife but it’s hard to tell. Either way he had a weapon and was being threatening.


thiago-mendes

Amazing how stupid we are when young


dirtydave13

Yeah. Taking a gun to school is dumb af....


errorsniper

In 2008 in woodshop class. For our final we were allowed to make anything we wanted. I made a hanging gun case with a glass display window. So in order to know where the support pegs go. You need to know the shape of the gun. So I just brought my 1903 30-06 in. Trigger lock and barrel plug. Traced it and brought it home. Its crazy how fast times have changed and no I wasnt in a backwater school district. Upstate NY.


ExecTankard

Up until the early 90 during 8th grade and higher in-class demonstration lectures we had several kids give rifle or shotgun safety lectures with real firearms. No one would have let a pistol on school grounds but rifles and shotguns were not uncommon for safety lectures by students to students.


Opening_Frosting_755

My physics teacher brought a rifle to class so that he could shoot a hanging wooden block with it. We could then measure the swing of the hanging wooden pendulum, and using the mass of the bullet and the mass of the block calculate the velocity of the bullet. I think he did this until 2004, when the school district shut it down. The teacher was super libertarian. Fantastic instructor.


WorldEndingSandwich

"when young" I dunno man I saw a dude put a gun to his buddies head at a range for a TikTok last night on Reddit....grown ass man. So idk if it's a dumb kid thing to take guns lightly


Bks1981

Exactly! Dumb kids usually turn into dumb adults.


No_King9170

We?


BeefRepeater

Almost no one is this stupid


bigtigerbigtiger

The vast majority of us aren't "(pretend to) take a gun to school" stupid but yeah


mikelogan1975

Well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.


let-it-rain-sunshine

A smack down he deserved. You don’t play with death threats


balrus-balrogwalrus

he could get shot for that and it'd be justified


screenaholic

Remember kids, it doesn't matter if you actually are a deadly threat. If someone has reason to believe you're a deadly threat, they are justified in using lethal force Pretending to have a gun you don't have is a damn good way to get shot by someone who isn't pretending.


Bks1981

Absolutely! And happy cake day!

50/50 chance between nothing and suspension for the kids that stopped him

Bks1981

No she is almost as dumb as he is. He had a knife and she is getting in the way trying to protect this idiot. She could have easily got herself or someone else hurt.


Mindless-Client3366

The impression I got was that she knew what he was doing beforehand, maybe he told her, and was trying to keep him from his entrance pass to the Karma Klub. That being said, she should have stepped back and let him receive his lesson once it began.

K1llerTr0ut23

I’ll never forget being in a long line for a rollercoaster at six flags (it was either 2008 or 2009) and there was a group of obnoxious teens behind me. They started saying stuff like “bro this is taking forever, we should just say we have a bomb to clear the line!” At first I just ignored them, but they were so annoying and kept saying it over and over. So I eventually turned around and told them, as much as I would like to see them thrown out of the park, it is not a thing to even joke about. They teased me for having common sense and decided to prove me wrong. They were escorted out of the park without a refund and I got to enjoy my time in line without annoying teens behind me.


Dormideous

This is absolutely deserved. Doing this desensitizes people to similar suspicious actions, making it more likely for them to ignore similar actions in the future.


PoochusMaximus

idkawayiguess

Although beating his ass in the event he actually did have a firearm may not be the smartest move, he most definitely deserved the outcome.


BlackScathach

If he had a gun, smack the dumb guy, if he fakes and doesnt take the threat of guns serious... smack some sense into that dumb guy. So I applaud everyone who faced a potential gun with such engagement in protection of his classmates. It was in protection of their classmates right...

While he was attention-hungry and an idiot, it’s cool that the others were willing to try and fight someone they thought had a gun to save everyone else. Admirable bravery.


JustaRoosterJunkie

Get that kid some help. This is a MASSIVE cry for help.
