The Boomtown Rats albums have all been re-mastered and are now available at your local music store. I just purchased "Mondo Bongo" and "In the Long Grass" to complete my collection.
Geldof wrote the song after reading a telex report at Georgia State University's campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children playing in a school playground across the street from her home in San Diego, California. She killed two adults and injured eight children and one police officer. Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her full explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day.
thats cause all the g's never botherd to learn how to shoot the jus bought a gun when they were 6 and figured it was easy and u see a lot of them walking around with someholes in stupid places like there ass
LOL No it is because whites make up 60% of the US population and blacks less then 14, and hispanics only 13-14 (including illegal). Even if white men were half as likely to commit murder then blacks, which they aren't, they would still commit 2x as many murders in the US. Maybe you can take your sheet off and workout the numbers on that....
well look at that lady who yhought her son was satan or the anti Christ.She shot him in the back of the head at the shooting range.They knew she had a hiistory of mental illness yet she had a gun.
this comment is for bj001r9327...for one thing your story is wrong first thing is her dad gave her a rifle for her 16th b-day, she lived across the street from the school she shot at the kids walking wounding 8 kids and killing 2 the principal and a custodian her reason was "I dont like mondays" when asked why she replied " I kind of like red and blue shirts" and also said it was like shooting ducks in a pond. and they were like a heard of cows it was a terrible story, i still remember this.....
There is no reason why ANYONE should do what she had done. But it is not allways 100% the persons fault. Sometimes it is the system that fails the person. Just like letting psychiatric people out of their wards since they "think" they are ok. But once again, we are human, we aren't perfect. And so this will all ways happen somewhere. Just look at some Iraq's who were brought up to be suicide bombers. I'm not saying that all Iraq's are, it depends on your environment when you were brought up.
lol it is 100% the persons fault, especially her, she wasn't totally brainwashed, not even in the slightest. People like her and the suicide bombers should simple be peacefully put down, something in their head clearly got messed up during their developement so it would be best if they weren't alive anymore.
So, you are saying, that if we as a community find that there is something wrong with you, we can have you "put down"??? "Putting down" people is classed as MURDER idiot. There are very few reasons people can be executed these days, also depends on country. You can get executed for drug trafficing in Indonesia.
Also, her "development" is based on how she was brought up, by the people and the world around her.
Look at most terrorists, the main reason they do it is for religious reasons. Some are done for their own twisted reasons or what not, but most do for religious reasons.
It isn't their fault that they turned into terrorists, they were brought up in a family that values religion very highly. Maybe they were pressured into doing it because of highly valued religion.
A persons personality is based on how they are brought up, they believe is right and wrong etc. Some other things change it.
She didn't have a lawyer, she had a public defender, which barely counts. The public defender didn't really do his job. He read "confessed" and had her plead guilty. The question you have to ask yourself is what makes a kid that screwed up. At 16 the answer is almost always the parents. Dahmer, Gasey, Ramirez all had really messed up upbrings, why should she be different? People do horrible things, taht doesn't mean they are evil... I daresay evil is a myth.
I guess you are right a publicdefender and lawyer are two defrent things.I do belive there is less sin but we make or chreate our problems by not doing things the way where supose to.
Well they are certainly two different qualities for sure. She maybe an evil, crazy, mean person who deserves to die. But I've always liked the quote... "Deserves it(to die)! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. "
No...actually she gave a statement that was 1000+ words and included those. A lot of it wasn't particularly coherent sense her blood alcohol was something like twice the legal limit, as well as being a PCP user. Which makes an intelligent person ask "why were the police questioning a minor, with no guardian present, while she is drunk. Her confession should have even been admissible in court.
who gives a fuck she still human remba that people she still human no manner what she did shez still human so stop bein fuckheads and listen da song and stop bitching
and i dont wot u think about my comment i am just sayin
the poor parents and sons of daughters of the caretaker and headteacher.
just because she dint like mundays..
no one likes mondays but for christs sake.. doesnt mean you go kill and injure people.. thats not fun, and ive been looking on sights to read a about it.. and people have praised her.. that is sick real sick!.. mean, imagine what people have gone through.. and, ino she got sexually abused but its still no excuse.!!
the real reason she shot people is because she was an outcast in her school. When she shot the people and the police arrested her the police asked her why she did it she said "I don't like Mondays" the song revolves around the school massacre.
Bullshit. If she was getting revenge for being an outcast, she would have fired on students at _her_ school, as opposed to a convenient elementary school.
The 16 year old girl who did the shooting lived across the street from the elementary school in question. When asked why she did it, she responded "I don't like Mondays", apparently trying to "liven up" the day in this horrible way. What frightens me is that a 16 year old girl was given a rifle as a birthday present by her father. I don't favor government gun control, but a little more parental responsibility would be nice.
i was replying to the annoytheworld93 thing that he started then cristopherhenry said some thin and then kelseysummer27 was bein a dumbass and i replied to her
wat she did was horrible.. obviously she wasnt rite in the head.. but u have to think .. wat happened to her to make her like this?? people arnt just killers like this. sumthing happens.. sumthing so tromatic that there heads arnt rite anymore... can u imagine wat it was that she went thru?!?!
not necessarily, lots of people could go what she went through, no matter what it was, and still be good people. People can just be killers like that, they are diseased and should be put down.
@pillpoped well first of all she was on angel dust ," pcp "and i dont know how she actually was able to aim and hit anyone but yess she was messed up because " mondays are always boring , this livens up the day " that was her quote Brenda Ann Spencer, i say kill her , death penalty to this bitch
Surely no sensible person could ever believe that this terrible and tragic event could have been prompted because a 16 year old girl doesn't like Monday's?
My idea of "heorism" would be killing someone who deserves it. Like that cock-munching 'phobe tard Fred Phelps. Give him a nice IED aenima. If I killed that fucknugget, I would be as they say on 4chan "an hero" to many gays and parents of fallen soldiers whom Fred and his Westboro Baptist "Church" have attacked. I would have zero regrets about my actions, because I would be ridding the world of a worthless filthy BIGOT. My suicide note would say "I DID IT 4 DA LULZ!"
Why do they have part's from Carrie?
