Kirk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 That was horrific. Mind reading it on the bus home from uni at the time and being genuinely sickened.if I remember correctly 2 of the guys who were murdered were pensioners and had tried to lock themselves in their rooms. Doesn't bear thinking how terrified those old boys must have been. Rip to the young lad in Aberdeen. So many lives ruined in one moment of madness Aye the mum had stabber her boyfriend then called the son and the boy i went to school with and they turned up and finished the first guy off. The other two had locked themselves in a room and i think they took the door off with the drill then torchered and beat them, pouring boiling water over them etc. Horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Charged with MurderHas to be. It appears he took the knife to school which means it's premeditated. Whether the killer was bullied or not there's no excuse for stabbing someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd retain the right in self-defense (as i'm sure most would) but yeah beyond that you struggle to make a case for any other reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only work if it was on the spur of the moment not if he was already carrying, IMO.Not sure how the courts will view it mind you.

Coldo Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Complicated situation and terribly sad that this happened at all never mind school, and don't won't to lob in the hand grenade, but doubt a peep would be made of it though if the bullied victim committed suicide rather than lashed out. Bullying can put people in a dark place and act irrationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 We don't know why it happened yet. I've read comments from a number of people on social media and news websites saying the boy who died was a lovely lad and very popular so on the face of it the attacker wasn't reacting to being bullied.

thplinth Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 You wonder what goes through the minds of these kids when they do stuff like this. Imagine waking up one morning and going to school and then later by the time it is time to go to bed you are resting your head on a jail mattress and you know in your heart it will be 10-15 years before you get out. I can't imagine what that must be like. Even if you took the knife in with a view to 'revenge' a 16 year old will never have thought any of this through... probably thought he would only injure him, teach him a lesson. Yeah well cut the wrong vein and you are a murderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So seems it's all a load of nonsense and we'll only find out when it gets to court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
