Littleton is one of the safest, nicest and most affluent areas of the Denver Metro. Great schools too. Look what happened there.
This stuff, bullying, has nothing to do with where you buy a home.
It is the parents fault for not teaching their kid how to deal with a bully.
Oh wait, they did.
It is societies fault for letting it happen, in the name of Progressive enslavery.
He will do time, because his family is not wealthy enough to pay everyone off.
Wow, capital punishment even if people express morning. Including the ******* kids parents.
.
The only thing more disgusting than people who perpetrate evil are those who have the power to stop it and just look the other way. They are far more vile.
I don't advocate the death penalty for anyone in this case (because obviously that's patently ridiculous), but I understand the sentiment. So many just look on...they are complicit in the suffering. COMPLICIT.
Whose fault is it that this kid died? It was his own fault mostly.
And that of the people who knew what he was doing and did nothing to stop it (out of fear, out of not caring, etc).
So now he's dead and will never grow up to be a man who continues to torture and mistreat people.
Boo-effin'-hoo.
My oldest son was bullied by about 5 kids when we moved to Maryland. Scarred him pretty well, the school didn't really help. It look a lot to get the school to even acknowledge it. I finally caught up to one of the Dad's of the bullying kids. Stopped it.
Sometimes that is exactly what you have to do. But I question whether this bully had a Dad for you to speak with.
yanno what, there is definately something wrong in our system and your the problem?
To what extend was this kid bullied? Just b/c you read this in the paper doesn't mean it is all fact?
and what is wrong with the teachers? You mean to tell me if it was this bad, the teachers didn't see it? Yanno, we drop our kids off at school feeling they are protected for the day, but are they?
I'm not saying this kid is a bad kid, but murder isn't a choice.....
and the kids who did this to him should also be taken from their parents and tried...enough is enough of this bully stuff....they learned it from their parents, kids who come from good homes don't do this...both were wrong here but in the end, murder is not the answer. Our systems are broken
That day, shortly after the 3 p.m. bell rang, Timothy, who had been waiting with some cronies, spotted Noel coming out of the school. “The victim was definitely the aggressor,” a law-enforcement source said.
Timothy walked up to Noel and punched him in the face.
This time, however, Noel allegedly pulled out his knife and stabbed the fellow 14-year-old in the chest.
Folks are going to learn the hard way you can only push even weak people only so far. A phone can be replaced. He didn't have it, why all of this abuse so he wants to kill himself?
It's sad that it had to come down to this. On one hand the bully got what he deserved. One can only take so much, and you really have to be careful with who you mess with these days. On the other hand, this kid's dad should have gotten in the face of the other kid's dad, and kindly (or not so kindly) explained that his little bastard better stop f***n' with my kid, or you and me are gonna have a problem!

I agree and if all they were doing to him was true, like coming on his property and urinating, why didn't his parents call the pollice, over and over and over again and log everything that was going on....telling the police that he wanted this inncident written up?
Self defense, not murder. People other than his family also gave statements of the level of bullying which went way beyond taunting. They included daily beatings, chasing him, and even urinating on the front door of his home. Today's public schools protect the bullies through inaction. It's as if the school teachers and principals are afraid of the bullies.
This is so true. My nephew was bullied in high school for months, and nothing my sister and her husband did, which included talking to the school administrators, teachers, the kids' parents, made any difference at all. The school was very reluctant to take a firm stand. One day a few of the bullies were shoving my nephew around and he snapped and decked one of them. The school called the police and my nephew was arrested for assault.
They finally took him out of school and are homeschooling him now. The bullies are still there, unpunished, probably bullying someone else.
While I don't condone murder, that's not what this was. It was self defense, pure and simple. I hope the kid walks. And then gets a whole lot of counseling.

I'm sorry, but no matter how you cut it, I want to wait and see what unfolds here, I'm not going to believe everything I read in the paper....
there is no excuse for murder.....
I was bullied every single day by my mother, my maternal mother and beat up and treated like a maid....went to work at 13 years old, we rented an apartment over a grocery store and the men who worked downstairs told people they heard the screams and hits and yelling.....why didn't they do anything, and would that merit me murdering her? I don't think so.
