derekfaejapan Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Still thankfully a very rare thing in Scotland. The last time I remember a kid losing their life at the end of a blade in school was a girl at Whitehill in Glasgow around 1991/92.

I think it was earlier than that mate, I'm sure it was before I went to Bannerman & I started in 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis_trap Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Really Grim : Went to Cults Academy in the 1990s. One of the "posher" suburban parts of Aberdeen.Usually rated as one of the best schools in Scotland. Kids will sadly be kids : however using a knife makes you a scum bag....

dandydunn Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Strange school. One of the more well off places in Aberdeen,but the school seems to have some real worrying issues. I was working there during the tattie holidays and the janitors told us not to use the banisters as there is regularly clear silicone spread all over them with crushed up glass mixed through it. Horrible to think that your kid would never return from school though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hopefully they'll put the little scrotum that did it away for a very long time. There's no excuse for even having a knife on you. If you're carrying it's premeditated in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't excuse murder mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was a bad who always intended to hurt someone, maybe he was a bullied kid who'd reached the end of his tether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, could've been anything. My point is that at present we don't know the circumstances and whilst murdering someone is obviously wrong, there might be more to it than just some evil wee chibbing a schoolmate. Equally, there may not. Edited October 28, 2015 by redstevie007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Terribly sad, imagining your child going to school and this happening. Should hold judgement though until we know the full story. Likelihood is th suspect did brmy the weapon, but we don't know that for certain yet. Edited October 28, 2015 by Coldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Why's that weird? Ach only that he was being (falsely) accused of being a" Sandy Hook denier" for a while... I realise this is not of that scale (but Aberdeen scale, same relative magnitude of shock). Edited October 28, 2015 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
