The punks of Maury middle
The Knoxville News Sentinel has a story today with a more complete picture of what was planned to occur at Maury Middle School last week when a student was accidently shot in the bathroom. The three little punks, yes I am called them little punks and that is a kind term for them, wanted shoot a teacher -
Three Maury Middle School students, charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, planned to shoot a teacher because she separated two of them for “horsing around” in physical education class, the school principal said Tuesday.
The teacher also had commented on the danger of one of the student’s untied shoes, said Jim Hodge, who was present while the boys were interviewed by authorities.
That is right they wanted to kill a teacher for stopping them from horsing around and for worrying about them hurting themselves due to a untied shoe. That is a RIDICULOUSLY low standard to even consider killing someone no matter what standards you use. It was also revealed that they planned to shoot a second teacher as well.
These kids need to go to jail and stay there until they turn 21 (that is the maximum penalty since they are youth). I do not want to hear about how they were intimidated, from bad / broken home, how they are learning disabled, how some adult is responsible for not properly educating them, or how they did not understand the impact of their potential actions.
They are seventh graders in 2005, they probably know more about the world then most adults did when we were 21, and they MORE THEN UNDERSTOOD what they planned to do. They planned it, they brought the weapons (that is right weapons) and if they had not been stupid with their gun handling they would have likely killed the teacher and probably injured or killed a few others.
These punks need to really understand that there is a result for your actions, and that we can not get away with things by claiming we are sorry, etc. I must also add I am passionate about this story because I have close family that work in the Jefferson County school system, though not at Maury Middle, and I want every kid in that county and every other county to understand you can not plan to shoot a teacher and get off with no punishment.
They are punks and under no cirumstances should you want to
kill someone(especially thiers) there are ways to fix everything you
do invluding

First of all you are no better than those lost individuals. Jesus said he who is without sin cast the first stone. We all make mistakes and are misguided at times. I know of the young man who brought the gun to school and although his reasons are not justified the teacher and his family(what is left of it) are to blame as well. The boys father died of a heartattack in 2004 and then his mother and sister were killed in a car accident the following year. Here you are a 13yr old kid and lost your whole family what type of mental status would you be in. The teacher he intended on shooting does not deserve death but word through the grapevine is that she constantly nagged on this poor child. In no way did the education system help this child with the grief process so I tell you sir who is actual responsible for the actions of this child. We all are, as society we have failed this young man and should be ashamed of ourselves. Pray for the child do not condemn them.
