so how are people so stupid...?

So some dumb freshmen kid beat another student in the beginning of school today with a wrench (there were quarters taped to the end too to make it stronger I guess).

and the kid that was injured had a head laceration and was basically bleeding all along his jawline and through his ears and nose.

like seriously how are people so stupid? Have you experienced any other sort of stupid violence at your school? I'm just curious because I'm pretty sure the kid who beated the other kid is a little.. er.. crazy.. like the prison type.

btw I never saw any of it but I just heard stuff from like a whole bunch of people who did (it basically happened in an area where everyone waits before the first bell rings)
 
Sometimes, it's not a question of intelligence. There are dozens of other things floating around in you head that can override your intelligence and common sense in an instant. Rage, confusion, sadness, inebriation, psychosis...
 
I just have one question about that.

If he's crazy, as in prison type, how is he not in prison?
 
I remember during the end of 5th grade when we were in the library and out of nowhere this kid attacked this other kid and the former got suspended for a week. It was crazy.
 
Sounds like a fighting at school thread...

fights happened a lot at my school last year. I actually saw a few with my own eyes and through videos on instagram, even Youtube. And today was also the first fight of the school year at my school, it was on the stairs but no one was caught I heard.

People just get crazy.. I get angry very easily but I try to control myself, I am not one of those psycho kids out there.

bringing a wrench to school eliminates the possibility of this being a "spur of the moment" thing

kids at my high school were a little... quirky, but we never really had any violence to speak of (well, not much anyways. i can recall one fight in four years, and it lasted all of five seconds)
 
There's this kid at my school who only beats people up. That's it.

He hasn't be suspended or expelled once. why

Probably because nobody catches him doing it or nobody informs an authority figure.
 
I go to an all-girls' school
And we don't really have much violence
Last year pretty much everyone shunned one my friends because she went to a disco and didn't kiss a guy?
I mean like wtf

one time a girl threw a punch at a teacher though
 
It's really just the guys in my school who are unnecessarily aggressive, to be honest. It's like they can't live without inflicting pain on each other.

Did the teacher get soaked? :dk:
 
We don't have fights any more, but for the past couple years we had a kid with anger management issues who always went after people for the tiniest of things, best example that comes to mind was that he punched someone on Geography because "they turned the page too quickly".
 
Wait, were they sharing a book and the other guy turned before he was done?

Or did he have his own book and this was just something only he would care about.
