I think the problem was that he was taking them recreationally - which seems totally pointless anyway

[QUOTE=Maximoon;44669328]Why do some of you think bringing a knife for protection is irrational? Have any of you ever been jumped by a group of people? Have any of you ever been assaulted with a weapon or object in a fight? Shit happens, I understand why he carries a knife on him.[/QUOTE]
I've been jumped and beaten up pretty badly by a group of students, I don't think for a second that adding a knife to that situation would have helped.
Best case scenario: I stab someone else, they disarm and stab me, or I get away and these people come back for revenge.
Carrying a knife to school where I lived was usually a cry for help in my school. Kids just don't always realise that being scared and asking for help is okay. The type of society that breeds these violent kids is only going to be perpetuated by someone's brother, sister, cousin or child being killed.

Try and pull a knife when you get mugged, you'll likely end up dead instead of bruised.

I have, I've been jumped by a group of people and assaulted with weapons before and I understand that carrying a knife for "protection" only causes more problems than it solves. It's still highly irrational, no matter what the situation is.
You're honestly a knobhead if you blame video games before psychological problems.
Just saw a thing about his Facebook profile on the news and just laughed.
"This shows his obsession with console gaming"
Then it just fucking zooms in onto the Crash Bandicoot cover.
I REALLY hate to do this, but the photo and name in the OP [I]might[/I] be violating various laws and reporting restrictions.
Might want to remove it / be careful with it. People can and have been prosecuted for similar things recently.
I can't stand it when media speculates on something - especially when full names + faces are combined - without actually knowing anything for certain.

Sucks for the teacher though. There's no reason for that. Especially with a job that you kind of just don't expect to die doing. But, now-a-days.. Being a teacher is almost as risky as being a police officer.[/QUOTE]
They probably did believe it was strictly for self defense otherwise you'd probably have had a worse punishment then that. Problem is carrying a knife for self defense purposes is also illegal so you're punished regardless.

I've carried a knife every day of my life since I was 11 or 12 years old, except at school (for the most part unless I forgot I had it in my backpack) and I've never once had to use it. I do feel safer with it than without, though mostly as a defense against aggressive stray dogs rather than malevolent people.
Without a knife, I'd be fucked when going up against a fit pit bull or rottweiler bent on chewing me up. It also helps that I am somewhat educated in the use and consequences of use of bladed weapons, which has kept me from ever drawing it in the few fights I've been in throughout my life.

It helps that the knife I've carried for roughly 10 years is matte black and lever assisted, which makes it harder to see and allows it to be opened almost silently and used in the same motion. I would never brandish my knife, and would only remove it from my pocket to immediately and without warning use it if necessary in an attempt to save my own life or somebody else's.
you're just another fucking fantasy creep

yeah I can agree that it does feel safe to carry a knife
but it's stupid because either you'll never use it, you'll end up dead because someone overpowered you or you'll end up in jail because you murdered someone
and btw you can't claim self-defense if you've sliced someone's throat open

see the only two reasons i can think of an eleven year old wanting to carry a knife with him everywhere he goes is if he's a child soldier or if he's come up with an overly elaborate fantasy necessitating its use. like you don't wanna hurt anyone cos you're eleven, so it must be stray dogs that you want to shank! i mean, it's gotta be, otherwise you wouldn't have a reason to carry around your sick lever-assisted matte black knife, which you are super educated on the applications of.
only you never got out of that fantasy, so what was once a dumb kid with a very dangerous toy is now an adult carrying around a weapon in his pocket that he's always been fairly certain he'll one day use to disembowel a dog or two, or perhaps get himself killed because he's still mentally eleven.

Nope, I brought a knife to middle school one time. I was actually 11 at the time too, heh. It wasn't a hunting knife or anything, more of a utility knife. I never even thought of stabbing anyone/anything except for some dirt to pick at. Needless to say, one of my friends told on me and I had to give it to the VP. Heh, I remember crying in the office thinking that my life was over and that I was a menace. The schools always have a good point, though: you can never be too certain, and it's best to just keep that shit as far away as possible.
There is absolutely no good reason to bring a knife to school, end of. Doesn't matter how rough your school is, there is no way having a knife on you would improve any situation you could be in

What if you don't stab anyone/intend on doing so?
[QUOTE=KD007;44685942]What if you don't stab anyone/intend on doing so?[/QUOTE]
well then why bring the knife? you're just going to get yourself hurt in the end, either by escalating shit, flopping around uselessly with a knife you both can't and don't want to use, getting arrested, or killing a guy horribly. i mean think about it, the best case scenario for bringing a knife with you is not using it, the second best case is getting in trouble and handing it over, and the third best case is getting arrested because you threatened to put a blade in someone's spleen. that's assuming he doesn't overpower you, and [I]that's[/I] assuming he doesn't have a knife, in which case you're now in a knife fight with a dude and you're going to get hurt if not killed.
i'd rather lose my cash and phone and have to go to the police than get killed, kill a guy, or get arrested. tbh if you'd answer any differently you're a pretty large danger to yourself and everyone else.
