This woman has never read half of the Bible, but yet she's teaching children the Bible, I'd be willing to bet her main theme is "Jesus loves you" that's all she herself knows, because that is all that she's heard herself.

This is a big problem, we have people teaching the Bible without any authority, or having read the Bible, it's all self-claimed authority.

I suppose once a person is declared a Christian, this issues a person to be an religious authority.

So just say "I Love Jesus and I'm a Christian" now you're a bona fide religious authority.

Who ever shall confess with their mouths, shall become an instant self-claimed religious authority.

Now be sure not to ask any question though.

This type of religious fraud is prevalent all over the USA, encluding the political system, we have people in politics that are not qualified and have never been qualified to hold the position that they hold.

What profit we have gained from this false Jesus.

Re: Cool Cat Teacher Blog: Why are SAT scores declining? Should the SAT count so much?

I disagree that the test is harder. The math section is significantly easier, and has fewer questions--and that very easily could have led to a decline in the higher performing students.

I wrote about it here.

This happens more than once or twice per year in America. It happens more than the statistics would have you believe.

The DOJ statistics are skewed and incorrect. For example, for 2005 alone I have record of 250+ incidents of school violence. Yeah, that's not including threats. These are actual incidents where someone got hurt, or a weapon was discharged, or attempted murder/assault took place with a weapon.

We only hear about the ones with the biggest casualties on national TV because they are sensationalized. This is a serious problem and I'm exposing that in my book.

Don't be surprise if the government finds me, steals me and locks me away to torture me because I am exposing the DOJ statistics to be a complete fraud. I have the names, details, police reports and media evidence to back it all up, too.

Another example:

DOJ numbers for 7 years (1999-2006):

Incidents: 109

Deaths: 116

My numbers for JUST 5 years:

Incidents: 584

Deaths: 227

My numbers for just 5 years don't include 2004 and 2006. I have not finished tallying the numbers for those years yet. But as you can see, my numbers are already 5x higher than the DOJ for incidents of school violence WITHOUT 2 years worth of numbers.

You're totally right about how many kids plot but don't go through with it. For every actual incident, ten kids plot. For every plot that gains media attention because they get caught - ten more are undetected. At least.

I can honestly say that when I was 15 there would have been no way in HELL anyone could have manipulated me into RAPING someone or robbing them. Not anytime before 15 and not anytime after. In fact, if someone tried to get me to do either, they'd have to kill me before I would do it. It just wouldn't happen.

Some people's moral screws are just a little bit too lose. And if that kid can be "manipulated" into perpetrating such a horrible crime so easily - I think jail time will suit him well.

I'm curious as to why people always assume that 15 year olds are clueless about sex, and that everyone always automatically thinks they get dragged into raping and robbing people.

No offense, I respect your opinion completely but it seems like the same thing people do with Columbine and say oh, well, Dylan was just dragged into it by Eric and he was really innocent and didn't want to hurt anyone... because no one actually wants to believe that kids under 18 years of age are capable of making horribly selfish and dangerous decisions that ruin the lives of others.

Age has nothing to do with it. A 15 year old who robs and rapes people most likely has absolutely no regard for society's rules and I'm sorry, but rape and robbery like that is not something kids grow out of. That isn't a 'crime of passion' or something reactive or something where you can clearly distinguish a reason connecting the perpetrator to the victim. No, that's completely selfish and the victims are just victims, meaningless, anyone will do. Which is why those kids are more dangerous than others who just can't handle rejection and seek to get revenge.

At least with kids who have poor coping skills there is a chance that they can learn how to better manage their anger so they don't explode. Kids who are so selfish that they will just rob people and rape them? Well, what can you teach them that will stop that behavior? Not to be selfish...?

I don't think rapists should ever be let out of prison whether they're 15 or 85.

Saying, "oh well, if he had consentual sex with these women THEY would be charged with rape" seems like a completely inappropriate comment to make and really just trivializes them as victims.

We could say the same thing about OJ Simpson. "Well, if NICOLE had killed OJ for being abusive, SHE'D have been charged with murder!"

Don't try to turn it around on the victims. That's totally uncool.

The juvenile justice system was not designed to handle the more serious criminal acts juveniles are now regularly committing. Either we change the juvenile justice system to allow for harsher punishments and provide real help for juveniles based on the circumstances of their specific crime - or we try them as adults for particularly heinous crimes. There are no other options.

Trench has a good point. All we ever hear about are these campaigns to get white and/or "not black" juvenile criminals off the hook for crimes they've committed. I never see these people jumping to the defense of a black kid charged with murder no matter where it took place.

I can give endless examples of white kids with tons of supporters saying how unfair their punishment is this and that. But can't give you one single example of where they stood up for a black kid.

Maybe it's because the media doesn't publicize the cases involving black kids as much? So these groups don't know about the black kids who get thrown in prison?

But if that were true, then that would imply that the media is their only source of names and cases. And that's not true. These advocacy groups go straight to the prisons at times, and family and friends of the accused go to them, too.

Just because you may not be racist and don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist and isn't happening.

When you're white, you don't see your white privilege. You may even think it doesn't exist, but it does. You also don't see blatant racism around you until you train your eyes to see it.

Cal — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:41:28 -0000

It's pretty simple if you want my opinion. Which, you probably don't but I'll give it to you anyway.

Kids shouldn't pick on other kids, beat them, or shove them around or make them feel worthless. They can be held responsible for the isolation and worthlessness some kids start to feel after it's gone on for a long time.

Kids who know their friends are planning something and don't say anything can be held responsible for accessory before the fact. Knowing and not saying anything is a terrible thing to do. Inaction like that is just not okay. Scared or not, you get off your ass and tell someone. Screw your "social status" - tell someone even if you fear retaliation.

Kids who give other kids guns are responsible for facilitating murder if they kill someone with that gun. Why would you give another kid a gun? That's just stupid.

Kids who teach/train other kids to shoot... well, they may not know their friends are planning something. But common sense says that if your friend suddenly has an interest in guns and only wants to use YOURS and doesn't want their parents to know about it - it's not a real interest. If it were, they'd go about it another way. You know - safely.

However.

We all are responsible for the choices we make in life. School shooters ARE bullies. Why do people defend school shooters but not the bullies who picked on them? Everyone knows that victims of bullying turn into bullies. The kids who shove people around were probably pushed around, too. They just express their pain and anger in the moment. But school shooters save up that pain and plan and plot and try to wipe everyone out so they never have to deal with their problems ever again.

And somehow there is more sympathy and pity for the bullies who KILL people... than the bullies who shove people around.

People think that the bullies in school are just mean and cruel and there is no reason behind what they do. There's nothing going on in their lives. But we don't know that for sure. They could be abused at home, have too much pressure on them from their parents. Maybe they're unhappy with life. They bully other kids because it ensures that the attention stays off of their flaws and always on the weak kids in school.

And it's those weak kids in school who never stand up RIGHT THEN AND THERE who turn around, pick up a gun and wipe them out once and for all. They don't even give them a chance to reconcile or solve the problem. They don't even try.

Some of them never utilize their resources. They don't go to the teachers or their parents. Hell, their parents are so shocked they never know what to think because they never saw it coming. They don't even want to solve the problem, they just want to annihilate it.

Yeah, we need to address abuse in schools but not because some kids kill each other over it. It's a problem by itself and we need to teach our kids how to respect each other. But we also need to teach our kids how to solve their problems and control their behavior.

Yeah, schools can't really deal with bullying because parents of the bullies rush to the defense of their children and they don't want to believe it's true. The schools are asking for a lawsuit anytime they punish someone for a non-physical act, or even a physical one that doesn't leave marks.

In my opinion, if you're going to own/run such a huge website like youtube where kids and other people are able to boast about their crimes before and after they commit them, they have the responsibility to monitor them closely. They need to hire more people to spend the time looking for such videos and deleting accounts daily and banning IP addresses, etc. It's their responsibility. If they don't, they don't deserve to reap the benefits of such a website at the cost of murderers slipping through their wide-open fingers.

Free speech and expression is only free when it harms none.

Just watch. All of the next shooters will have been posting threats on youtube for years. I wonder how many deaths it will take before they will realize their responsibility. Keep track of it. Take it all the way to congress every year, add the next year's death tolls to it until someone listens.

Youtube is providing a forum for them to publish their own version of their mimicking of the "basement tapes" etc. There has to be some law that can be used to force them to monitor their site and hold them partially accountable for providing such a forum without moderation...

In real life, if parents allow their kids to meet up with other kids who are full of hate and want to kill people, it's a crime. It's called child endangerment. If a parent doesn't know what their child is up to and where they are and who they are with, they can go to jail. But parents can't be held accountable for not knowing what their kids are up to in cyberspace because it's imaginary. Allowing kids to congregate in real life to further their hate and talk about their plans of destruction is something the parents can be arrested for.

Do it in cyberspace and no one can be held accountable for having ANY responsibility whatsoever to put some goddamn restraints or restrictions in place. Heaven forbid we draw any lines in this "free" society.

It's different when you're personally involved with the families and friends. It's about helping people see that they were human too, that their friends and family members lost a child as well, and that we have compassion for everyone involved because we have been there too. We've been down that path, we've lost friends to suicide and murder, school violence, etc. We know what it's like to lose a friend to school violence - a friend that pulled the trigger. We know that love and compassion is the only way to heal. Everything changes when someone you know and love goes down the same path as Dylan.

Most people get her message because they take the time to read the site and they read the message board. Anyone who doesn't understand and is looking for violent people isn't going to be further influenced by it because there is no content to be influenced by. If they see it as a tribute to what he did that day, they're seeing something that isn't there. But they already have problems and will see what they want to see wherever they look.

Some kids can't tell the difference between video games and real life. Some kids can't think for themselves when they hear judas priest and they kill themselves because of it.

Anyone can see anything anywhere, as long as they are looking for it. The difference is once they go on a memorial site like hers they realize that it's not about applauding his actions but it's about remembering him for the person he was before he went down the wrong path and helping others. They won't find support there for violent fantasies, only discouragement.

Unlike the others, there is actually moderation and there are many messages against his actions.

Anyone who doesn't spend enough time on there to understand that it's not about promoting what he did isn't spending enough time on there to be influenced negatively by it.

I do understand your concern, though, it makes sense to me. Kids looking around on the internet for material to read about them will come across many websites that all seem the same. They'll learn more about their lives and what they did prior to their deaths, read their journals and watch their videos and it will inspire them more. But she doesn't have the negative things on there. No bloody pictures, no violent pictures. Dylan's family visits it, his friends do too. The content speaks for itself.

There's a reason she rarely has to remove someone from her site. And that's because her site just simply does not give angry kids what they want.

One of my sites, on the other hand, (an old site you never saw) did. And I killed that site because everyone was congregating there and I didn't have time to moderate anything.

If her site ever gets to the point where people misinterpret the content and think it promotes violence, believe me, she will take a good hard look at it and figure out what she can do to improve it's true message.

Similarly, if you have any suggestions for why it is mistaken for a worship site and not just a positive memorial, she will listen to you if you don't attack her. But the people mistaking it for a worship site aren't the angry kids. But really, if you have any feedback send it to me or directly to her. You have my email address!

If youre talking about my best friend who runs the dk.net site you're wrong about her. And the people on her board aren't the same people on the myspace groups. She doesn't tolerate that, and most of us have all met in person and/or talked on the phone for nearly a decade. (she is my best friend in real life, not the internet) She's actually foiled a couple plots and works really hard for violence and suicide prevention.

I understand how it may seem like that's not the case since you don't understand her memorial website but that's the truth.

There will always be more fluffy surface shallow places like myspace for them to find first where the members will inform them of other places to go underground to talk about "real business" though...

Remember, on the Rebel Domain when Bastian told everyone of his plans and boasted about wanting to kill, no one could do anything. Only a few people knew and I was one of them because I was watching that place very carefully. No one could do anything because most everything was private. Jex wouldn't cooperate with authorities. Had Bastian boasted on myspace, he would have been stopped.

Driving them underground increases their secrecy and congregation... they'll get together via PM and find out who is serious and then link them to their new place... I can give you tons of examples if you'd like. It's really dangerous...

There are many adults who understand where they are coming from but don't encourage, and actually discourage but there are many teens who go there to do the same thing. But it doesn't work, it just makes them angry and they ban those people.

If kids aren't seeking out help on the internet, you can't really do much to intervene unless they trust you and respect you. The parents need to pay attention to what their kids are doing online and put a stop to it.

Some people may say that blocking the internet connection won't do anything but I disagree. Most of these kids only do that kind of thing on the internet and that's all they have. That's the only place they can find "like minded" people.

Also, while I understand your stance on wanting to shut down the groups on myspace, I have to say that if they are shut down then the kids will move underground to a place that may not be publicly accessible or traceable as myspace. They will go somewhere else. There will always be someone to create a place like that.

At least on myspace, if the police and/or parents want to intervene, it's very easy to uncover true identities. Myspace must fork over information if the law requires.

Other private networks such as the old "Rebel Domain" got away with fostering the hatred even down to having Sebastian Bosse continually threaten and tell of his plans before he went on his Rampage in Germany.

So rather than force those groups underground, I say police and parents should step up and take advantage of what is happening in plain sight. If these groups are forced to go underground, there is no chance at discovering where this type of violence may strike next.

Cal — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 15:14:15 -0000

True. And even if they are told, they don't listen.

A few years ago you could tell someone that if they pull a school shooting whether they kill 0 or 300 they will never have the infamy that Eric and Dylan have and no one will care about them. You could tell them that they will be ostracized and thought of as a loser even by the rest of the kids who identify with Columbine because simply put, they will never BE Eric and Dylan.

That used to discourage people to some extent. If they know they can't have that infamy.

But now we have a new problem. Kids are starting to identify with and approve of some of the more recent shooters and actually praise them despite the fact that they are Eric copycats down to the letter, proven by their journals. (Like Pekka)

So what's the reason they are starting to praise Eric's followers? The existence of groups on myspace that have allowed their internet friendships to develop over the years since Columbine. Now they see people they knew shooting up their schools. Now it's personal. They didn't think they were a loser before they shot people so they aren't going to now.

So now this presents a new problem.. kids are now praising post-Columbine shooters and they are slowly discovering that they actually stand a chance at gaining that infamy at least among their internet peers... thanks to myspace allowing them to not only create and maintain control over their own groups, but to congregate unmoderated with no adults to intervene. No adults to intervene on the internet and not in real life.

Cal — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:49:08 -0000

True. Motive exists and is dissected in part for the purpose of legal matters and it may or may not match what the perpetrator perceives to be their motive.

Everyone always says Columbine Copycat. But weren't Eric and Dylan Jonesboro Copycats? Paducah Copycats? (I could name nearly 100 pre-Columbine incidents) They spoke about them and expressed their hatred for them because their motives weren't good enough. Eric said his motives were the only motives that were correct. He looked down on past school shootings and sought to outdo them. And he did, not in numbers but in fame thanks in part to the media.

But that's what all of these other kids are doing. Seeing something done that they wish to emulate for whatever reason, and then planning to do it.

Although instead of hating Eric and Dylan while trying to outdo them, they praise Eric and Dylan and try to outdo them at the same time.

Whether these kids love or hate past school shooters, they are still motivated to "outdo" them all, even Columbine.

Fame? Attention?

Cal — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:34:05 -0000

When I hear more and more stories like this one... and I read lines like, "the motive is still unclear" my mind continually wonders...

what motive? I don't see a motive. I see impulsive children trying to implement a final solution to shut people up who find something wrong with them. Whether it's actual or perceived.

Then I ask myself, what is a motive? A personal reason for an action taken? If so, is the motive determined before the crime is committed? Is a motive purely the arbitrary rationalization that goes on in someone's mind? Or is a motive something that centers around the end result of an action? Is motive what you have to gain?

When asking for a motive, if it's truly just someone's line of thinking, the motive can be anything. If I broke a stick in half and burned it and ate the ashes just so that you couldn't have your half... because you looked at me cross-eyed, is that my motivation? If so, then looking for and analyzing motivation is not only over-complicating a simple situation, but it's nearly useless. I think the term motive needs to be trimmed to function properly.

"I killed him because he slept with my wife" - external/internal factors

"I killed him because I wanted him to die because I don't think he deserves to live" - end result

Perhaps the person who killed someone for sleeping with his wife didn't really want the person to die, but they acted on impulse and killed him anyway.

Perhaps the second person actually wanted the person to die.

In a courtroom this marks the difference between "heat of passion" and "first degree murder." First degree murder is both willful and premeditated.

But I wonder if it matters, in the end, legalities aside. Either way both people do not have healthy coping skills.

I wonder why the media continually complicates the situation searching for a motive that will only do one of two things:

1. They will search and search and search and never find anything to their satisfaction.

2. They will take the reasons straight from the kids' mouths (verbal or written) and say, here, this is why they did it! And the rest of the world will be just as confused as they were before.

Sexual predators are motivated by something that can be identified and generalized to some extent: sex and/or power.

Thieves are motivated by something that can be identified and generalized to some extent: material property and/or money (some kind of gain)

Spree killers and people who "snap" are "motivated" by everything under the sun from dogs pissing on their newspaper, people making fun of them, being rejected by colleges, raises, promotions, jobs, etc.

Most crimes committed by thieves and sexual predators have a clear motive where gain is concerned. They gain power, sex, money, physical property.

So what do spree killers gain? Is it emotional relief? I can't figure out how to articulate what they gain. Can you? It's not as easy as it is with other criminals.

I am starting to believe that you can't really apply the idea of "motive" to spree killers/school shooters in the same sense that you would to other criminals.

What do you think?

Re: http://www.crimene.ws/2007/11/not-bullying-but-parenting.html

Cal — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 13:05:42 -0000

Bullying and/or abuse/harassment, etc can only influence and/or "cause" (and I use that term loosely) people to feel a certain way if they choose to drink that poison. Even if it's severely physical, you either press charges immediately or you "run away" but if you choose to "run away" I guarantee you will get your ass kicked every day for the rest of your life simply because by not responding immediately you've made yourself an easy target. You're telling the bullies of the world, "Hey! Come and get me! I'm not going to fight back and I'm not going to press charges! I'm just going to cower in the corner!"

Abuse can be a contributing factor in a person's emotional state, before the decision is made to kill. But parents who do not teach their children how to cope with those feelings of anger allow that anger to grow into resent and then a lust for revenge. The lack of coping skills is what enables people to so easily decide to kill. "Why solve my problems peaecfully when I can just kill them all? That way I don't have to talk about it. That way no one can blame me for doing anything wrong." etc.

I can't stress this enough, and I will say it again to anyone reading this blog:

Kids and adults with healthy and productive coping skills do not murder in retaliation no matter what is done to them. School shooters and their abusers are all bullies of some sort who lack coping skills. Therefore, preventing school violence consists of a lifelong curriculum of healthy coping skills. And that begins at home and continues into school.

If you are involved in your child's life and you guide them and teach them self-respect, help them develop self-esteem and confidence, they won't be the type of kid who gets relentlessly picked on. But I guess that all depends on how stable the parents are. I'm not holding my breath.

We live in a society which refuses to draw the line where inappropriate behavior is concerned out of fear of "offending" people and "taking away their rights."

As soon as they kill they have lost their "rights" to anything which is unproductive. & destructive. Including having their videos of hate remain available online.

Heaven forbid we live in a society which actually decides to enforce rules of decency and morality.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that most of the kids going down a path of destruction will feed off of those videos and then follow suit with their own.

We live in a society where rights come before responsibility. Does it really surprise anyone that such videos are not removed? They make them for attention, glory, fame, etc. and our media outlets literally hand it to them under the false pretense of "free speech."

"Why don't these people realize that the problem is not with the world, it is with them?"

Because they don't know how to let go. They buy into other people's poison. Someone tells them they are worthless and they believe it. They feel victimized and then they become addicted to being a "victim."

Because they can't seem to understand that when someone pours them a cup full of poison, they don't have to drink it, but if they do drink it, they've made a choice to drink it.

The person who pours the cup of poison is responsible for pouring that cup of poison, but the person who drinks it is responsible for drinking it.

The individuals who pour those cups of poison have problems that need to be addressed. But the main problem is that these kids can't see that they are making choices when they respond and react. They honestly believe they are being forced into violence.

Once you realize that someone else in your situation would react differently (or not at all) and not be bothered by or even be tempted to drink the poison - you understand that as automatic as they can be, your responses really are a choice.

If they're truly automatic, perhaps it's time to change bad habits.

Kids don't always understand this concept. Maybe they don't have anyone to teach them personal accountability regardless of what other people are guilty of. Maybe we live in a society who coddles the idea of victimization.

Both types of people need help in order to develop better habits and a better outlook on life -- those who pour people cups of poison and those who drink the poison.

Until the parents can take responsibility for their actions separate from what other people may or may not be guilty of, they won't be able to teach that to their children. Kids learn by example. It will be a never ending cycle.

He hated human rights because it allows groups of people to have rights when he didn't feel they deserved any rights. He thought he could dictate who deserved them and who didn't based on his personal bias.

To most of these kids, "freedom" doesn't mean what it does to adults. Freedom to them is the ability to do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard for consequences. In other words, rights without responsibilities.

There is so much contradiction in what they write/say because they don't even understand the very concepts they rant about. They like the idea of "rising up against the oppressor" but they don't understand that they are their own oppressor.

It's a convenient way for them to unleash their anger and hatred.

While I don't agree with the negative comments you make when you post about incidents like this (personal preference is all) I just thought I'd tell you PUBLICLY that I understand you a whole lot more now. I understand where you're coming from more now as well. And I do respect you, a lot. I know I instigated some garbage with you in the past, but I am sincere when I say I respect you and your voice.

DuPage Dave, I'd be rolling my eyes too if I was subjected to another tedious Jack Franks "I wanna be somebody show." As for Ms Peters, I think she's a refreshing and a person that really deeply cares about the communities under her protection.
