BREAKING NEWS: Two Students Arrested at Campus for Joking Around with Paintball Guns- Prank Gone Really Bad Following Virginia Tech Rampage and Dawson College Shooting in Montreal - Students and Staff Not Amused

by Anne Howard for Rush PR News

Montreal, Canada (rushprnews) April 18, 2007 - Two male students age 17 and 18, were arrested at College Saint-Laurent in Montreal yesterday following a 911 call from the security forces on campus.

The two students were seen brandishing guns on campus and aiming at students, causing a great amount of fear in the wake of Montreal’s Dawson College shooting last year where one female student died and numerous others were injured, and two days ago Virginia Tech, a rampage causing the death of 32. Included among the victims at Virginia Tech was Jocelyne Couture-Novac, a Montréaler teaching French.

One student at CEGEP Saint-Laurent stated, “this was not a funny joke at all. We are all worried after what happened at Virginia Tech and Dawson. What were they thinking!”.

Once stopped by the police at College Saint-Laurent, it was soon realized that the guns were in effect paint-ball toy guns but nevertheless, the students were taken in for custody and spent the day in jail.

The 17 year-old will face Juvenile Court Friday, April 20th and has been charged with disturbing the peace and intention to cause harm, the 18 year old will be seen by a judge as an adult in June and has been charged with disturbing the peace.

How could anybody think this is funny? I hope they spend much longer than a day in jail.

[quote]YUBA CITY, California (Reuters) - Officials locked classroom doors, lowered shades and kept 12,000 school children inside on Thursday in Yuba City, California after a man threatened to go on a killing spree inspired by Monday’s mass murder at Virginia Tech.

Police guarded public schools in the northern California city 40 miles north of state capital Sacramento after Jeffery Thomas Carney allegedly said he intended to make the mass slaying at Virginia Tech “look mild.”

Local officials say Carney called his pastor at the United Methodist Church on Wednesday evening and said he was armed with an AK-47 rifle, improvised explosive devices and poison and would seek to provoke a confrontation with police to “commit suicide-by-cop.”[/quote]

They’re lucky they were only arrested. Especially in today’s fearful, anxious state of mind, the police probably would have been justified in shooting them dead, thinking they had real guns.

Fuckin’ dicks. I wouldn’t have cared if they did get shot. Arses.

#6

Wow. People like that should be rounded up and put into a single school, along with anyone who shows signs of mental illness.

I’m not serious, but wow that’s stupid.

#7

What a bunch or morons.

There’s probably some vague law on the books with which they could be charged, like ‘hooliganism’ or ‘public disorder’.

Another bunch of idiots:

MURFREESBORO, Tennessee (AP) – Staff members of an elementary school staged a fictitious gun attack on students during a class trip, telling them it was not a drill as the children cried and hid under tables.

The mock attack Thursday night was intended as a learning experience and lasted five minutes during the weeklong trip to a state park, said Scales Elementary School Assistant Principal Don Bartch, who led the trip.

Principal Catherine Stephens declined to say whether the staff members involved would face disciplinary action, but said the situation “involved poor judgment.”[/quote]
‘Poor judgement’!? No shit.

Fucking morons. Speaking of educational experiences, I’ll bet the clowns who did that will learn something from the lawsuits that will follow. :laughing:
