Boy tries to hijack school bus (with a gun) for attack on government officials, police say
http://www.wafb.com/story/14602689/student-hands-bus-driver-2-guns-while-getting-off-bus-one-loaded

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A Northeast Middle School student tried to use a gun to hijack a school bus Monday afternoon, police said.

The boy handed over a gun after he tried to get the driver to take him to Washington to shoot government officials, police said.

"Officers learned that a student approached the bus driver at the student's bus stop displaying a handgun and demanded the driver to drive him to another destination," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said in a statement.

The incident came to a close at the bus stop at Reedy Creek Road and Harrisburg Road on bus number 1341.

1. What kind of discussions you think he and Dad had at the dinner table?
Kids don't just come up with this idea on their own. He obviously was influenced by someone, most likely his parents. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Dad was threatening to do the same thing.

3. I guess it's a good thing he only had a gun. He might have succeeded with a knife!

7. It could have been worse.

His name could have been Barbara Lipscomb, and he could have been a vocal hypocritical gun control pusher and deliberately shot an innocent kid...

9. You seem to think that repeating something often enough makes it true
not matter how nonsensical.

Where did you acquire that illusion?
