Columbine III??

by The Rock Relic

And the kid was gonna call it “Columbine III” …

As you’ve probably read, a student down in Chesterfield (SC) had plans to attack his high school in the same way as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold did in Columbine, Colorado nine years ago. What tipped authorities off were the ten pounds of ammonium nitrate delivered to his house on Saturday.
An investigation yielded some pretty detailed plans as to how he was going to carry out his “attack” — one that he knew was certain to get him killed in the process. In fact, he’d already recorded a tape to be heard after-the-fact, giving reasons for the attack.

Now, a lot of local folks are talkin’ about it, with words like “anger”, “mental case” — even “the devil” — popping up in conversations. But there’s one point that’s seriously overlooked:

Re-read what I wrote a moment ago: “certain to get him killed in the process.” Have ya ever thought that maybe … just maybe … kids who do these things are suicidal, and should be treated and counseled well beforehand? In this case, they’ve already decided to end it all — but, instead of “wimping out” with a handful of pills or swingin’ at the end of a self-made noose, they decide to “go out swinging” and take as many out with them as possible.
Also, they know that, in an attack like that, they couldn’t “back out” of their suicide; if they didn’t complete it, the police would!

So, y’see, that’s what we’ve gotta work toward if attacks (and plans thereof) are to subside; identify those students who are potentially suicidal. Work with them through competent counseling/mental health systems. Then seriously monitor their behavior over the school year. If there’s a danger, we’ll be more apt to “see it coming” in the future …
NOTE: As I said, it can help them “subside”. Under NO circumstances is this to be construed as “stopping” them all. There are obviously gonna be SOME situations that will differ.

THE BEST WAY TO EASE TENSION IS …

obviously, to walk. Endorphins (the “pleasure” chemicals within the brain) begin to increase, and, after a good workout, you feel a lot more relaxed. Besides that, you also keep yourself in shape, get the muscle tone you need as you lose weight, and derive so many other benefits from it.
That’s why you need a good treadmill to help you obtain and maintain those benefits! Now, there are many on the market today, but, just between us, I’m gonna give you a link to the best selection you’d ever want! Among them are treadmills that’ll generate stats for you, so you can keep track of your workouts and their effects, crosstrainers — even one that has a flat screen TV and excellent sound system to keep you entertained during your workout!
But there’s more: For example, you can get a FREE warranty for one full year, FREE shipping, an excellent payment plan — and prices that are absolutely the best anywhere!
And all you have to do to take advantage of all this is to click the following link and find the treadmill that’s right for you!
So click that link today and begin a more stress-free and physically-fit world tomorrow!
