School shootings by women
posted by Adam on 10:11 AM July 6th, 2004
News Anonymous User writes "In 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Spencer opened fire at her school which was located across the street from her home. Two male staff members were killed. Brenda Spencer said "I don't like Mondays" to a reporter who asked about a motive. In the end, Spencer got a sentence of 25 years to life. The Boomtown Rats music group did a song that was inspired by the incident. One of the staff members who was killed was trying to protect students. Later, in 2001, 14-year-old Elizabeth Bush fired a gunshot that injured a female student at school. It is said that the shooter had been picked on by the student who was shot at but this is not clear. A male student talked Elizabeth out of shooting herself and likely prevented further trouble. Anyone heard much about these two incidents?"

I don't remember having read or heard about them in the news. It seems that the media usually play up male-perpetrated violence and soft pedal female violence. And when it does devote attention to violent women, it works hard to find excuses for them. In that sense the media mirror society.

I don't see any mention of this, in media sources I watch, and I'm a news junky. Isn't it shocking that the Family Violence Prevention Fund fails to mention this female violence anywhere, but especially in their mentoring young adults program, where they concentrate exclusively on boys. I'm begining to think that site is gender bigoted, because the real truth about violence is never told there, just a biased anti-male version thats sounds like it came out of some women's studies program. I guess they have something to sell besides truth (the gender feminist agenda).

My freinds, what we are witnessing from the media is good ol' fashioned George Orwell-esque MIND CONTROL.
The mind control objective here is, of course "WOMEN=good", "MEN=bad.".
To do this they report only the bad that MEN do, only the GOOD women do. MOST ill-doings by women are covered up.
So SIMPLE yet so EFFECTIVE, eh?
I recognize this type of mind control used to sway public oppinion and even the public's very THOUGHTS. They used it against my people (American Indians) for years. (To this day there are still people who beleive that we go around SCALPING and that we talk like; "Ugh! Me want-em peace-pipe!") and other such B.S.
The exact SAME thing is being done to MEN. make no mistake about it!

Right on TC. I had to laugh out loud to think of people actually believing the scalping/me-want-em kind of thing. I bet you have some funny stories about that stuff.

Chomsky has written eloquently on the idea of "worthy" victims and "unworthy" victims. The "worthy" ones get stories that explain their life stories their aspirations their possible alternate motives and in general make them more HUMAN. The "unworthy" victims get no such compassion. The facts of the case are what you hear. Of course it is simple to see how the media portrays women as worthy victims and men as unworthy. It is infuriating. Most people don't even notice but the cumulative affect is to value women and devalue men.

The first incident in 1979 actually received worldwide media coverage at the time. It was quite notorious, and even spawned a song written by Bob Geldof.

The site that was at the very top of SOW's hate crime blacklist is a sit in Quebec called www.mensongefeministe.ca "mensonge"means lie in French. In response to the guilt trip about the Marc LePin massacre they site an incident at a boy's private school in New York in which one of those SCUM all-men-must-die types went on a killing spree that claimed eight boys (none of them over eight years old) and a male teacher, in spite of taking a round in the throat with a .357, managed to disarm her before she re-loaded for the third time.....what color ribbon should we wear for that one?.....the feminazis in Canada want to shut THAT site down more than any other. http://www.mensongefeministe.ca/....be sure to have your firewall settings very high when you go there....all traffic to that site is monitored by the RCMP....my firewall log verifies that.

>"What color ribbon should we wear for that one?"

Could we wear royal blue ribbons?
If so maybe we should start doing so. It may bring attention to men's issues such as;'violence (of all kinds, includeing D.V)against men'.
It would very likely make the feminists mad. For that reason alone perhaps we should start wearing ribbons of some sort.

"Could we wear royal blue ribbons?"

I *really* like the ribbon campaign idea. It could catch on, and it'd be a great awareness-raiser.

If you wear a ribbon, you can bet folks will ask you what it's for -- and that gives a great opening to raise someone's awareness of the violence and injustice that men face in feminist western society.

I'm not sure we should use blue, though, unless we can differentiate ourselves from the Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF) very valuable Blue Ribbon campaign to fight Internet Censorship and Protect Online Free Expression. (http://www.eff.org/br/)

...not that there aren't *other* blue ribbon campaigns. In fact there are a staggering number of 'ribbon' campaigns of all imaginable colours -- from the serious to the ludicrous. See http://www.gargaro.com/ribbonstxt.html for a list.

So, let me toss this out to my brothers in men's activism: I suggest a white ribbon with a red stripe along its length. Red and White. Blood and Innocence. Representing the suffering of innocent men who are victims of violence, abuse, false accusations, and legal bigotry.

(and a not-so-subtle slam at the bigoted feminist 'white ribbon' campaign.)

Come back.

Two incidents from 1975 (Score:2)

Some of you may be too young to remember that two assassination attempts were made on President Ford back in 1975 - both by women.
Fortunately, the attempts were thwarted - the second one by a male bystander.

The following excerpt was taken from:

http://www.usatrivia.com/pasnatt.html

"Two assassination attempts were made on the life of Gerald Ford, both in September 1975. Lynette Fromme, 27, attempted to shoot the
president in Sacramento on September 5, with a .45 caliber hand gun. Alert secret servicemen wrestled the weapon from her before she
could fire a shot.

On September 22, Sara Jane Moore, 45, a civil rights activist, fired a .38 caliber revolver at Ford, but a bystander diverted the shot at the last second. Both women are currently in prison serving life sentences."
