[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34602621[/url] [quote] masked man with a sword has killed a teacher and wounded at least two students at a school in Sweden before being shot by police. The attacker is being treated for gunshot wounds in a nearby hospital in the city of Trollhattan, police said. Niklas Claesson, a spokesman for the NAL hospital, said the student victims were "young but not kids". "Some of them have serious injuries and are being operated on. One person is deceased at the scene," he said. Police responded to an emergency call reporting an attack in the cafe area of the Kronan school, which has 400 students. Students were seen fleeing the building. "Shortly after this we received information that the assailant had been shot by police," the police said.[/quote]
Sad thing to wake up to in the morning. The school is a couple of minutes away by foot from where I live, so I heard an ambulance. I don't know anyone at that school but that's really scary and my heart goes out to the victims and their families.

[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;48958103]Enlighten us.[/QUOTE] sword enthusiast megathread what do you think
If the teacher also had a sword he could have stabbed him first.
Apparently one of the ambulance drivers panicked and drove into the wall: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AutbADk.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;48958114]If the teacher also had a sword he could have stabbed him first.[/QUOTE] They should have dedicated swordsmen at every school.
This is a real shame. I am very sorry to his effected.
[QUOTE=proch;48958095]well we know where this thread is going don't we[/QUOTE] This could have been prevented if Sweden would join the 21st century and adopt some common sense sword control, like mandatory background checks for purchasing cutlery and restrictions on the cosmetic features civilians can have on their swords
Stabbings! Oh yeah. We had [URL="http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.681841"]a couple of those[/URL] today, too. I'm sure the US state dept. isn't going to accuse the Swedish police of using [URL="http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/15/us-israel-palestinians-idUSKCN0S90X820151015"]excessive force[/URL] for killing the suspect, though.
One of the attacked boys is now reported to have died in hospital
[QUOTE=Satansick;48958139]They should have dedicated swordsmen at every school.[/QUOTE] Why not simply mandatory swordfighting lessons for all the students and scabbard with a sword as part of the school uniform? I am sure it would help to get the kids into better condition and every attempt at mass school stabbing would be very short lived.

[QUOTE=proch;48958113]sword enthusiast megathread what do you think[/QUOTE] As a HEMA practitioner, yes, please. Seriously, Sweden is one of the biggest nations for the practice of historical fencing, and this happened just north of Gothenburg, where next week one of the largest competitions and seminars in the world will be held. If the perp has any connection to a group like this, HEMA in sweden will be debated like gun ownership in the US.

With my limited expertise i'd say that the sword is a one handed arming sword or worse yet, a longsword, based on the presence of a crossguard and pommel. If this is the case then HEMA in sweden is gonna have a bad time.

Also yes before you ask had I been there with my sword i'd have fucking owned him for sure :~)

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;48958270]I will never understand what drives a person to go and cause this much misery to innocent people. If you're so eager to get killed, just stab yourself with the sword and get it over with, no need to be a bitch and start stabbing people who have nothing to do with it[/QUOTE] A damn lot of reasons can drive a person to do something like this. If you actually wish to understand why, psychology holds a few answers.
Can we please not turn this into a 'haha, let's pretend this is a gun violence debate!' A bunch of school children just got sliced up, it's a bit insensitive.
