We need an automatic knife ban. Do it for the chilrun. Where is Diane Feinstein when you need her?
Do you think the kid was on an anti-depressant drug? Do you think they will tell us if he was?

Nearly two dozen students were injured at a western Pennsylvania high school Wednesday morning in an apparent stabbing spree.
The incident occurred at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pa., about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. Dan Stevens, a spokesman for the Westmoreland County Public Safety Department, told CNN that 20 students were injured, four seriously, in the attack. The four were taken by helicopter to area hospitals, he said.
A male student was in custody, he said, and there were no other suspects in the incident, Mr. Stevens said.
The attack occurred in a classroom and hallway at the high school before classes began for the day, according to Mr. Stevens. A 911 call was received at 7:13 a.m., he said.
The high school posted a notice on its website saying that the campus was locked down after “a critical incident” and said law enforcement was working with the school to manage the situation. The school advised parents to pick up students at a nearby elementary school.
He was cleaning his knife when it went off. Didn’t know it was loaded!
I’m calling for a complete ban of automatic and semi-automatic knives.
At our home, we have a check out system for table knives!
Not to make light of this, but was the person stabbing people The Flash?
How do U stab that many people without getting beat senseless?
When I was in school, we would’ve formed a big gang of guys & pummeled that person until they were in the hospital.
Not only do schools need more male teachers, but they need former military personnel as either disciplinarians or teachers need to be rained how to handle themselves with this new breed of “kids”.

Not to discount or trivialize the whole thing, but the other students are sheep in training. If they run, punishment. Stay…..well, bad. Hit the other kid, punishment. Gang up (bullying) and hit the kid, well that’s gonna be expulsion. They’re conditioned to stand there and take it. On top of all that, that’s gotta be a damned scary experience from the get-go…..I’ve never been in that situation. For a young kid, that’s a helluva intro to the future at best, at worst – use your imagination I guess. Shits fucked up and bullshit.
@Econman: behold the pussification of the American masses.
Everything is under control.
— the school is in “lock down”
— grief counselors will be made available
— no ipads were injured
— many will give credit to Jeebus that more weren’t stabbed
— CNN will cover the story for the next 8 weeks … sobbing parents will be interviewed shortly … Wolfdick Blitzer will ask them deep questions like, “How do you feel?”
Ban Knives? High School Student Goes On Stabbing Rampage In Pennsylvania School

Another day another dismal headline of some killing spree and while the American people is becoming almost numb to these dreadful occurrences, this one was different. As Reuters reports, twenty people were injured, at least nine seriously, when a student at a Pittsburgh-area high school went on a stabbing rampage early on Wednesday. We are sure the administration is closely watching the events and considering what actions to take to ensure this does not happen again. The good news, for now, is that no one has died but indications are that these are very serious injuries.
As Reuters reports, seven students between the ages of 15 and 17 and one adult were admitted to Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, with stab wounds.
“These are all very serious injuries,” hospital spokesman Jesse Miller said in a telephone interview.
The attacks took place in several classrooms and hallways as the school day began at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, 20 miles east of Pittsburgh, county emergency management officials said. The first 911 call was received at 7:13 a.m. EDT.
Three of the patients admitted were in surgery and all eight were in critical condition, hospital spokesman Miller said.
He said a ninth patient who had arrived at the hospital was airlifted to another facility.
The school district posted an emergency message on its website on Wednesday.
“A critical incident has occurred at the high school,” the message said. “All elementary schools are canceled, the middle school and high school students are secure.”
Zak Amsler, a 17-year-old junior at the school, said the attack occurred just before his first class was scheduled to begin.
“I saw a girl with blood running out of her sleeve,” Amsler said as he waited to pick up his younger sister, a student at the nearby middle school. “It was pretty mind-blowing.”
Stevens, the county official, noted that the scene had been contained. “The students that are here are safe,” he told reporters.
It’s not just the US though, as CBC reports, 4 people were stabbed in a Toronto office today:
One man is in custody after Toronto police say at least four people were stabbed at an office building in the northern part of the city today.
Police said the attack happened just after 9:30 a.m. ET on the fifth floor of an office complex at 4110 Yonge St., near York Mills Avenue.
Police received multiple 911 calls of an assailant attacking people with a sharp object.
A man and a woman in their 30s are among the people who were stabbed. The two suffered multiple, serious stab wounds, according to police, and are in critical condition in hospital.
Two other men whose ages are not known were transported with serious wounds to a trauma centre.
So what next? Spoons only at lunch? Knives issued only with RFIDs?
Good fucking lord almighty! Old white boomerfuk men are already congratulating themselves on CNN on how well some fucking “plan” is going, that no one has died, that the police are doing a remarkable job ….. holy fucking shit.
Nice!! HEROES are already being established …. a principal and some “resource worker” ….. without their heroic effort many more would have died …. maybe even the entire school, maybe all of Pittsburgh even
I wonder how many more kids are going to crack under the pressure of being told what to do in school all day by dipshit liberal union drone teachers. They’re being programmed by liberal progressives that socialism is good, being white is bad and evil, diversity and multi-culturalism is divine, standing up for yourself is bad, initiative and thinking are bad, and that harming another kid’s self esteem, especially if they’re black, is the biggest sin of all.
And I wonder how many more kids are going to crack when they’re introduced to common-core communism. When they’re told to give happy and cheerful answers, and it doesn’t matter whether they answer the questions correctly or not. They’ll be rewarded for relativism, and punished for independence. The harder the liberal progressive fucks push, the harder some kids are going to push back, and this thing is going to become common-place.
Kids are trained in school to be good, subservient consumers and debt slaves, and bow before the almighty God of liberalism, where they are rewarded for nothing that has anything to do with education and bettering themselves. I just hope they take out some of the liberal union drone teachers with ’em when they crack.
Our schools used to produce tigers, now we produce peacocks…..
we need to have a ban on all “assault knives”

this incident will be used to justify and validate all the zero-tolerance bullshit that involves the school system searching kids cars, suspending kids for eating poptarts into a gun shape etc… it will deemed that all the govt agenst did a great job but more needs to be done and they need more resources and authority to ensure the safety of “the children”.
the facts are that there are some batshit crazy evil fuckers out there and even if 100% of your freedom was removed you still would not be safe from them.
“If total control means total safety, why are prisons so dangerous?”
well said persnickety
Harry p that looks like a K-Bar, very nice knife. I sure am glad I got one before they are banned. Just hope they don’t ban machetes, I just ordered a new one and it’s not here yet and the weeds are growing fast. I bet some damn high school kid stole my last one.
Sure am glad I went to school in the 70’s before they were passing out pills to whom ever felt a little uneasy.
Damn Harry ,that’s the second time today I find myself in Agreement with you.Not sure what’s going on.
bb,
I know, what is the world coming to?
The military base shooter was under “treatment.”
This kid is quiet, reserved, has a face full of acne, any guesses to the number of “safe” drugs this guy was on?
WHEN are we going to have the REAL conversation about what is happening?
The day AFTER Matt Lauer and Barbara Walters no longer owe 50% of their salaries to the pharmaceutical companies and their advertisers.
So, never.
FUBAR, being culled and being conditioned to take it.
When this broke yesterday morning, my first thought was, “thank god it wasn’t another shooting.”
Us gun owners owe this crazy guy a little thanks, at least he brought home the fact that if you want to injure masses you don’t need a firearm to do so.
Prayers and healing to all those effected. Curses to all those capitalizing on it.
They weren’t even automatic knives!!! Its people like you that piss me off beyond extent. Oh look, a fly, let’s BAN IT!! Fuck you pricks.
