SCHOOL KiLLiNG

Teen gunman dead after killing 15 at German school

WINNENDEN, Germany – A 17-year-old gunman dressed in black opened fire at his former high school in southwestern Germany on Wednesday then fled in a hijacked car, killing at least 15 people before police shot him to death, state officials said.

The gunman entered the school in Winnenden and opened fire, shooting at random, police said. He killed nine students, three teachers and a passer-by outside the building, officials said.

"He went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath," said regional police chief Erwin Hetger. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."

Triggering a land and air manhunt, he hijacked a car, freed the passengers and drove about 25 miles (40 kilometers) before police found him. When confronted, he killed two bystanders in a shootout with police before he was slain, Baden Wuerttemburg governor Guenther Oettinger said. Two officers were seriously injured, but there was no immediate information on other casualties.

Four hours after the shootings began, police announced the teenager's death.

It was the nation's worst shooting since another teenage gunman killed 16 people and himself in another high school in 2002.

Concerned parents quickly swarmed the school, which was evacuated.

Police have have identified the gunman only as Tim K, who graduated last year from the school of about 1,000 students.

The German government was "deeply shocked and incensed about the appalling killing spree," Ulrich Wilhelm, a spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel, said in Berlin.

In 2002, 19-year-old Robert Steinhaeuser shot and killed 12 teachers, a secretary, two students and a police officer before turning his gun on himself in the Gutenberg high school in Erfurt, in eastern Germany.

Steinhaeuser, who had been expelled for forging a doctor's note, was a gun club member licensed to own weapons. The attack led Germany to raise the age for owning recreational firearms from 18 to 21.

ON THE MOVE.

Yo yo yo Fam-Lay.
I know i been m.i.a for like what? 3 days. But for some good reasons:
1. School is getting real crazy.
2. I've been hitting the gym (yes, clap for me)
3. Anddddd, i have officially begun my RADIO SHOW ! with my homegurl Mo'e. It's called "Relevant Radio," every Wednesday from 2-3pm. We basically discuss every and anything goin on on campus. Our first show, because it is Black History Month (shout out to that!) we will open each show talking about 2 leaders that shaped society today, play some uplifting music (like Sam Cooke, James Brown etc) and invite people to call in or come to the studio and just talk shit. Lol. Our motto: "Relevant Radio; Where everything Matters" Simple & Understood. Holla !
=)
Next week, which is our 2nd show. We're going to have a Valentine Day special. Have some people call in and talk about their Worst or Best Valentine's Day, if they ever had one, and have a sexy ass PlayList! So, im real hype about that.

I also been telling myself that i need to step my intellect up. Instead of sitting in front of my PC and TV all day, i hit the library the day before yesterday and picked up this book by the name of: "Why White Kids Love Hip Hop--Wankstas, wiggers, and the new reality of race in america" by Bakari Kitwana. So far, this shit is DEEP. It uncovers alot of unknown history behind hip-hop, statistics, just mad shit. I wish i could take a picture of it, but my damn camera is broken. But i got yall =)

Tomorrow, i have to begin interviewing 4 people for this fashion paper I'm doing for my Magazine Writing & Editing class. I'll go more in depth once i have my thoughts together, but for sho, it finna be d o p e =)

Now, ABDC is on and i have this bum ass Spanish Test to study for.
i love yall.
OH! and shout outs to my 16 followers yo. Thats what the fuq is REALLY good. =*

Til then, the story never ends;

SCHOOL vs. ME

So, i woke up this afternoon around 12:45, went to brunch w. my roommate Jenny, had mad french toast, eggs, home fries, and apple juice. I come back to my room and theres this email in my FirstClass account, (Firstclass is what students @ my school, MCLA Massachusettes College of liberal Arts, use as means of communication). Anyway-- i open the email, sent to me and some others, from this white chick and its entitled "Hip Hop/Urban Culture"

Here's the email:
Hey! What's up? I hope you all had a great winter break! I am writing to you because for my "Creating Story Theatre" class my group is doing the topic "Urban Culture". Our performance will be during the One Acts on April 28th-30th (performing on one of those days). We may need to work out a time that works for you to meet before then. All of us are not very familiar with hip hop dance and we were hoping maybe you guys could help out or recommend someone who could!
Some ways you can help:
--Teach us some hip hop dance/Step
--Perform as part of our skit (Or if you have a video from a performance we could show it on a projection screen)
--Cut a track(s) for us
--Answer some questions in an interview
I know that you all are probably wicked busy but this would be a great help! We are planning to include: hip-hop dance, music, slam poetry, body art, speed painting, graffiti art...ect. If you have any thoughts, suggestions or other ways you could help out please feel free to let me know. I hope you all have a good semester! Thanks!
BTW, this would be a great thing to put on a resume! :-D

Sincerely,
L.M.


I read it, and @ first nothing seemed wrong. But then i went back to the top to view who recieved this email, and not to my surprise it was all the African-American students on campus.
Mind you, my school is majority white and maybe about 60 blacks out of a campus of about 1,200.

A friend of mine Jamal, Replied to the email asking the recipients:
Hey,
Did everyone read the message below? LoL-- should any of us be offended? I honeslty don't know how I should feel about this... am I overreacting?

Jamal


Now, who told this girl that US black students know how to dance urban? Who told her to email all the black students on campus??? Who told her that i was BLACK?! How she assume all of us are African American??

So many levels of ignorance that i bet she didn't even catch on too. Just being mad fucking closed minded.

Sad right?
I didn't even reply back-- at least not yet.
Cuz i know for a fact, some fly shit will come off these lips.
And i got hella homework to do.
But ill be sure to show you guys my response once im done w. my homework.

All i could do is shake my head.
Am i overreacting?
