You throw out some pretty serious accusations against people you've never met.
These were incidents that were reported in some NEWS articles shortly after Columbine!

It actually happened. A student was thrown down a flight of stairs and another student was thrown through a plate-glass window. These happened in two separate schools.

Another student riding home from school on his bicycle was struck in the back of the head by a flying beer bottle thrown from a speeding car full of jocks, and another kid riding home on his bicycle was struck by a car full of jocks and he was knocked off the road and into a ditch.

They're both lucky to be alive.

You're right, I don't personally know these people, or rather animals, I have never met them, but I have read about them, and I don't want to know them, because I don't want to know scum.

By your logic, people that do bad things who happen to be athletes only did it because they're an athlete.

So all of the athletes that did good things must have done good because they're an athlete?


Can't have it both ways.

Well, I have never heard of any member of a Chess Club or a Drama Club or an Art Club throwing somebody down a flight of stairs or through a plate-glass window.

For some reason, it's the jocks who do it!

Here's a little bit of humor to relieve the tension here. I just read the following comment by a visitor to a news website: Guns kill people like spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat! :lol:

You can have a Coke. Or a 7-Up. Or something.

I don't even think they're animals! I mean, gorillas have more self control than that!
I wonder how they'd like it if they had beer bottles, or even cinder blocks, thrown at their heads. :roll:
