So what of the friend who he told the plan to? Was it the same one he told at Xmas eve?
Surely some form of accessory?
It's always easy to say with hindsight but if you took every 15 year old who said they were going to kill their teacher or the school bully seriously you'd be locking up a lot o people.Surely some form of accessory?
What could you realistically do?

Has the media reported it that he told some of the other pupils he was going to do it and showed them the knife in his bag?What could you realistically do?
If that's true why didn't they mention it to somebody? 'All it takes for evil to succeed is a few good men to do nothing.....
I know a teacher at the school who was there when this happened and knew the student.
He was normal, had quite a lot of friends but he was pretty quiet. His family wasn't broken and his upbringing was typical. Most of the information in the article is accurate although it seems to paint him as a known weirdo. He wasn't.
The teacher also had her best friend die in a car crash that was discussed at length on PH too. Poor girl

Odd as there were no real signs of an unhinged young man apart from the usual "I hate my teacher" musings that many teenagers have.
Going a bit OT here:
A young lad in my daughters form class murdered his stepdad last year with the help of his brother, they stabbed him when he was asleep on the sofa, he would have been 14 or just 15.
The circumstances there were that the stepdad constantly abused and beat up the mum and the boys had had enough, they were convited of murder because they planned it and did it when he was sleeping, now if they had killed him when he was beating the mum up then most likely there would have been a different outcome.
Anyway my daughter said he was an ok guy, he had friends, wasn't popular but also wasn't a loner, just a normal boy.

The real question in my mind is "why are we going to pay to keep him alive for the next 20+ years?"
I'd have no issue with the death penalty for human garbage like him.
As its cheaper then topping himI'd have no issue with the death penalty for human garbage like him.

How is killing a killer who killed an innocent person as bad as killing an innocent person?
I don't think its justified by any means and I don't agree with it. But it certainlty doesn't make them as bad

Even if it were legal, wanting to kill someone (because they have done wrong) doesn't really separate you from the person who killed in the first place; you are just giving yourself a different justification for doing so whilst getting identical satisfaction from the act of killing.
In peacetime no-one has the right to kill anyone except in self-defence. That doesn't apply here.

Justice campaigner says 20-year sentence handed to Ann Maguire's schoolboy killer is too long because it is more than his own lifetime

Had to listen to this nonsense on R4 this morning. Honestly of all the worthy causes who in their right mind would waste their time arguing in support of this scum. click

He is lucky he got twenty years he be out in ten.What possessed a young kid of fifteen to do this is beyond me.
Psychologist on radio this morning suggested either some kind of psychopathy or personality disorder which he's unlikely to ever "recover" from and unlikely to ever be released with or some kind of extreme nihilistic depression episode which he may "recover" from. It's easier to just call him a though.
