On Monday, January 29, 1979, Brenda Ann Spencer opened fire on the school with a rifle, killing 2 adults and injuring 9 kids before going back to her home. Police surrounded her home and waited for 7 hours until she gave herself up. In that time, she spoke with a reporter on the phone. When asked why she did it, she replied, I just started shooting, thats it. I just did it for the fun of it. I just dont like Mondays.
"I Don't Like Mondays" is a song by the Boomtown Rats that was a UK number one single for four weeks during the summer of 1979. Written by Bob Geldof, it was the band's second number one single. Over the course of the 20th century, the UK gradually implemented tighter regulation of the civilian ownership of firearms through the enactment of the 1968, 1988, 1994 and 1997 Firearms (Amendment) Acts leading to the current outright ban on the ownership of all automatic, and most self-loading, firearms in the UK.
34 years later and nobody remembers this. Spencer used a Ruger 10/22 rifle. The Ruger 10/22 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It had (at the time) a removable 10-round (or 5-round) rotary magazine which allows the magazine to fit flush with the bottom of the stock. She didn't use an "assault weapon" or a high capacity magazine.
I was going to talk about how society reacts to tragedies and how facts get distorted and twisted. But, i started to bore myself. So here's the first 5 random videos from YouTube....

I can't seem to end connections with this girl although I don't talk to her and the very mention of her name makes my chest tighten up. It's ridiculous. I'm ridiculous. Never own a vagina. It's just trouble.
