SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

Today at school at the beginning of lunch I walked into the area known as "The smoke pit" and was talking to a couple friends and heard that another person i know was going to fight. So i walked over to my bud and said "hey whats going on" he says that the kid was "Talking SH**" and that he was gonna beat him up. So i get all amped to see my friend fight and started talking to him with my other friend Castriot that he should go over there and fight him. So once the crowd hears there is going to be a fight everyone starts yelling FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!. So as he approaches this kid he walks up punches him in the head once Pulls out a homemade shank and stabs him 3 times in the chest and once Above the temple. I was standing 2-3 feet away from my friend as he did this and Started yelling at him along with my other buddies who knew him "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING VIT!" After he stabs him 3-4 times he gives the weapon to my friend castriot who throws it in the dumpster befor Vit can take it back. Now this kid is bleeding Preeety bad and had bits of his skin mixed with his blood on the ground and, Vit runs off into the school then leaves. Now after this happend A DUMB C*** says DONT SNITCH GUYS DONT SNITCH that pisses me off.... I watched a freaking stabbing and im supposed to keep my mouth shut and protect the Assailint and not the Victem?! WHAT THE F%@^# is wrong with teenagers these days?!

Why is it they can no longer settle grievences with thier fists and have to use weapons then on top of it NOT HELP THE VICTEM!? I Gave the police a statement on what happend, who it was, what i saw, and what happend leading up to the stabbing. Am i considerd a Snitch for standing Up for the victem?! If i am then what kind of society do we live in these DARK days.

I followed up with people to find out what happend to my friend Vit, and he is getting charged with Assult with a weapon he is only 17 and has done this once befor... I know some here are cops and i would like to know what charges and time will he be doing IF any.

What do you people think?!

Ever think about NOT egging others on to fight? Might have diffused the situation a wee bit! Obviously as we all know this happens often enough and it could happen anywhere. You and your friends should have tried to diffuse the situation. Instead you advised him to go fight (I know you didn't mean shank), but obviously this friend of yours came prepared with a sharpened metal item to do what he did. This was just a bad situation that got worse.

People lack the ability to walk away. I guess your friend had something to prove. Too bad it's going to cost him. He's lucky that his victim didn't sustain futher injuries warranting heavier charges.

If it was up to me...since he's done this before, I would think that he should be tried as an adult and up the charges to "attempted murder". He knowingly brought a weapon to school for that reason. Of course it didn't help the situation once he was given "advice" and the crowd cheered on.

This person needs some heavy duty counceling also along with jail time. Anger management is a good start.

I think you did the right thing by talking to the police. Your friend was wrong...very wrong and he hurt someone. It shows that at least you know the difference between right and wrong. Next time try diffusing a situation rather than supporting it. If you get enough people that can help calm and diffuse a situation then maybe things won't get that far.

I used to do a fair bit of fighting at school, but pretty much stopped around age 15/16. It used to be that you settled disputes with a one on one fight, no weapons, no kicking someone on the floor and you stopped when someone was hurt or wanted to stop.

As I got older that started to change, it became more about doing damage and it didn't matter how you did it. Other people would join in making it two or more on one and once someone went down they could expect to be kicked or stamped on. Then knives, bottles/glass, baseball bat etc. I've still got a scar on my neck from someone who pulled a knife on me.

Once that kind of stuff starts it self perpetuates until someone gets seriously hurt. Now it seems like people are prepared to do some horrific things for the most minor reasons.

Your friend (and I hope you no longer consider him one) only proved to everyone that he's a coward and a moron. You did the right thing by talking to the police and you made a mistake in encouraging the fight, now you've seen what can happen don't make it again.

Seroone, I am sorry about your friend, although I am sure he is getting what is coming to him. It doesn't make it easier for you to reconcile. I tend to think that if someone has that inclination to REALLY hurt someone, they ought to be locked away for awhile. You can't have disgruntled employees/spouses/etc who are willing to cross that line because they are obviously excessively dangerous to those people around them.

I remember kicking the crap out of someone then going and having a beer with them afterward. They are still my friend to this day. I agree with the other "oldies", I miss the old days.

It is a proven fact that most fights are started by insecure, immature, idiotic males. Males that are confident in themselves don't need that kind of behavior. This is also why you don't hear about good martial artists/MMAs getting in fights very often. (outside of the ring)

The one question I have is what kind of pathetic jerk would think to bring a "shank" with them to school unless they have been beat up or bullied forever?...and why would you want to be friends with such an obvious loser?

You did do the right thing in talking to the police. That is what is wrong with the Muslims....they won't turn in "their own" that choose to be terrorists...and the minorities that won't turn in gang members...ect...

See, I never got into any of that kinda thing at any age! I just couldn't see the point!! I did get egged on to one fight in middle school (pre-12) but that was short lived and I just walked away!

I'm with Rufus and Pwnzer here though...... YOU went and egged him on into a fight that you knew to be pointless and now you're sat there wondering what the hell is wrong with teenagers these days?? How about starting with yourself and your wanting to see your mate get into a punch up???

The mind boggles!! :S

Yes, I talked to Brandon he showed me his hand wich took most of the Knife, It went through part of his hand then it Slightly pierced him, BUT none the less yeh he was stabbed, the one to the skull says scratch but if u stab someone in the head it takes A LOT of force to pierce it so it none the less dragged across i didnt exagurate the incident considering I WAS THIER and that the news reporters got second hand info.

He is pleeding insanity which has got him off on two seperate stabbing altercations, and could very well work again.
First incident was a security guard at a dance second was another student he didnt like..

On my school there was a fight a couple of days ago, not a little fight either. It was a big fight. My bud Joakim, was a smartass and came with some rude comments to a older boy, and smacked him. Dunno why, but anyways. The next pause the "victim" brings a couple of other dudes to kick the Shi* out of Joakim. So me and 3 other friends backed Joakim up. And then i started beieng a smart ass my self, so the guy jumped ME? My friends backed me up, and we kicked his ass, but what i realized was that the guy wee beat up had many friends with him, but they dident do shi* to help him. But when i was jumped all of my friends helped me, it lasted for a couple of minutes actually. Then a teacher came, and before you know it he lies on the ground bleeding. So all of the guys ran, exept me. I stayed, i checked the teacher i he was okay... Luckely he was. I know who punched him, it was Joakim. But i stood up for my pal, and said it was me. Because i stayed to help the teacher i dident get that muck punishment. I just said that i dident know who i punched. But anyways, you see how fast it can go. First you punch another student, then you beat up a teacher.

Well, From my prospective, teenagers are narrow minded, Just because they are "tough stuff" that automatically grants them arrogant. back in HS, I've had more then a share of freshmen come up to me and just be complete idiots, Just because i was 130Lb and they can bench press my weight with ease, and that makes them better then me apparently.
To but it down in a nutshell, teenagers are ignorant, Narrow-minded, Pseudo-intellectual, idiots, Their potential lies down-word. Not up. Literally, Cause crime-rate in the states has gone up over the past 30 years. My parents use to tell me about when they were a kid, If you back-talked your parents, Not only did your parent spank your bottem, But you got grounded with no tv, Or any kinda of entertainment, only thing that got you entertained is farm-work. Plus society takes it's toll on the youth, With peer pressure, Trying to fit-in, And other things come into play.
And now if a kid tell their parents to "shut up" They either let it slide, Or smack their mouth and thats the end of it. Heck, Can't take away their video games cause you think your being too strict? Now, I'm not a parent myself, But, if i was a parent, And they said that to me, Heck, Once we get home, smack their butt, Plus lecture them, And there is gonna be No video games, No Television, no toys, no nothing, Only thing your gonna be doing is Homework, then the rest of the day only thing you can do is use your imagination. Cause i would like for them to learn the value of "respect thy mother and thy father" like my parents wanted me to learn, and i would like them to learn that, you may hate me now, But your gonna wish that i was alive and be good to me knowing that tomorrow i may be dead, and that your gonna live with the fact that you can't say your sorry for all the bad things you have done.

But, Back to my "back then" talk, I know that sounds quite harsh considered to todays standers. But heck, If it made kids behave and not give parents grief just because they didn't their vegetables then heck, i don't see why not we should get a *little* bit rougher with kid just until they hit their teen years.

i mean don't get me wrong here, Me and my parents fight over stuff, But in the end i still love them, No matter how strict they are for little thing, like if i don't clean up my room... 5 minutes lalter i hear someone walking up the stairs to my room saying "Why isn't this room cleaned up yet?"
