@FadingLight Quick to judge a person like Williams off of a four minute clip you probably have seen of him. It was more then bullying he went thru. Of course what he did was wrong and you know no body can bring back Brian and Randy but if you agree of the saying "Adult Crime Adult Time" go ahead but dont try to change anyones opinion. I Stand by what I said.
@FadingLight Retreiving a ball, then kicked in the ribs by multiple students until the got bored. In high school I wasn't treated any better. I never brought a gun to school an I never even thought about killing anyone.
I was bullied too. Big deal. He murdered 2 people in cold blood. The day he can give them their lives back is the day I would consider clemency for that monster. Until then, let him rot in prison. He made his choice. No amount of remorse can bring those boys back. Why don't you write a letter to those families instead of Williams? They deserve it muh more.
You know, growing up I was not only teased, but also beaten up just for the hell of it. In middle school I was kicked in te face when retr
@eustacefan Hope I can hear more, last time I searched anything, he was going to appeal his case to the ninth circuit but I really dont know what that means :p
@zanev How can you contact him? Ive been trying to see if I could write him but like I said, I havent heard anything about him :/ Plus i just found out he is in Ironwood prison....Im literally 20 mins away from it.
How many of you guys think Andy should get a second chance? Looking into his history and I myself being a victim of Bullying...I know he wouldnt commit another crime ever. He's 25 and serving a life sentence for a crime he did when he was 15. Of course what he did was wrong but what Andy needs isn't to be thrown away in Prison. I believe everyone deserves a second chance...
my moms good friends daughter whent to santana in 2001 i remember that day when she came home she ran up to her mom and said something i couldnt hear there was so much crying
I was a freshmen and present the day of the shooting and even now years later it still brings me to tears when I remember. It's something you never think will happen to you and I hate to think that other people could or have been through something like this.
i read some where williams did this cus he was getting bullied, when are those faggots gonna learn that if you mess with someone and and act like a bunch of insensitive jerky bone headed ass holes to them this is whats gonna happen, i personally understand why williams did what he did and i believe that if he had gotten help and people left him alone and were nicer to him none of this would have happened. people who bully others for amusement aren't worthy of life and their gonna burn in hell.
@nave712 I agree with what you are saying up to the point where you said that they arn't worthy of life. I was present the day this all happened. I was walking to my class which just happened to be a hall down from where williams was and right at the exact moment that he decide to start his shooting spree. Can you say at the wrong place at the wrong time? Yes it was wrong what happened to him but what he did was worse. You can't solve violence with violence. you shouldn't wish death on anyone.
i just graduated from santana a few days ago. they just started construction on the bathroom where the shooting started. i was happy that i didnt have to look in that direction ever again
I just transfered away from santana 5 days after its anniversary of the shooting. all i can say is that i miss it and the how it felt like the entire school was a second family, even though i didnt know everyone. I miss it SO much.
Was at west hills high school the day if the shooting a calm scary silence covered the valley and the news broke we all went into a shock our rival Santana was no longer a enemy but a close friend in need of support had two friends wounded and one pass away RIP the healing is still taking place to This day....
Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of this tragedy. I hope that it doesn't become a media circus. I hope and pray that it remains as it should, a time of rememberance of the loss of life, prayers for peace and understanding for the families. Continue to rest in peace Randy and Bryan. May the loss of your lives not be forgotten and may good come from it in that we never have to hear of another tragedy like this. Thank you for the wonderful video. It brings tears to my eyes.
this was one of the sadest moments i have ever encountered. i was only 4 when this happened, but the stories my family and people who were there told me, is just terrible. RIP
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for bringing awareness to this tragic event. I am currently attending Santana and we still mourn the loss of this event.
Still today, i hear the little pieces of the story reverberating off the hallway walls. Sadly, this is what our school is known for. Some dipshit kid deciding to take stuff into his own hands. Rip.
i am a freshman this year and the shooting is still talked about nowadays. its such a shame to know that these kids never got to live to there potentials. rest in peace students killed
Although I was only about six years old when this happened, the story is still very moving and this video brought me to tears.
During last years peace week when we had the assembly where the teachers told their accounts of what happened, many of the teachers as well as students were tearing up.
This was truely a tragedy, and I pray to God this never happens again.
Man i remember this. it was a real fuckin massacre. i was in 5th grade at the time in W.D hall elementry in El Cajon. And when i watched it. it was painful to see. They were barely sugercoating it. and i cried like hell for the deceased and the wounded. it was a horrible horrible day
I remember hearing about this when i moved out to Vegas from here in San Diego. I knew the girl at 2:24(Heather Cruz) from a youth church by Target on Broadway in El Cajon..
i remember hearing the gun shots it was so scary it sounded like fireworks heard about 25-30 shots then the last one i started to cry because i realized it was gun shots ... RIP to the ones who were lost.
pimp14gangsta STFU u little fukin fagget u are sooooooo fulll of SHIT u fukin little bitch if i ever come across u i will slap the living shit out of u u fukin pussy sorry bout my bad words everyone but it had to be said
dang when i went to c.y.a california youth authority i seen that kids william and i asked him what did u do to get in here and he said killing kids in santee im like wtf im from santee and i told him that he looks like a lil bicth
i was just there at the school least weekend for a water polo tournament and as we walk into the pool there is a plaque on the ground. i never thought about it but it was for the shooting. i didnt know there was a shooting untill someone commented about it on my pod video youth of the nation
this is now my school. and to this day on the anaversery when i drive by there are flowers and baloons to show how big of a deal it was and how it mattered to our beloved santee. =[[
omg i remeber this... =[[ i was in 2nd grade my school down the street had a lock down... =[[ this was one of the scariest days of my life. all i remebr hearing were cop cars speeding down the street. my old softball couch was in the class when there was a shooting he told me he knew the student and that it was out of no where and he was vary shocked... and now they took out lockers bc their scared of it happinging again.
Santana was right in front of my navy recruiting office and we did practice PFAs on the track once a a few times a month while i was in dep every time i walked through th eschool couldnt stoip thoinking of what happened there
I remember sitting in my 2nd period 7th grade class at Palm middle school in lemon grove when my teacher told us about the shooting. ended up going to west hills HS and moving to Santee. now im in kuwait and cant wait to go back
I will remind people that this is NOT the place to discuss the shooter. If you wish to argue that with me, message me. But not here. It WILL be deleted and you WILL be blocked.
I am a class of 2004 and i attended Granite Hills high school and was a freshmen wen just 2 weeks after the shooting at Santana another tragedy happen to our school. Everyone who was affected by this will be in our hearts forever. And another thing Andy is incarcerated at where my husband works.
I graduated from this high school in 1999 when I saw this on the news I could not belive that this had happened at my school of all places what is this world comming to why must people in school be so crewl and I am not sayinf that its the students fault but come on I know how people can be its time to finally stand up against all the violence in our schools and work together this should be a time that the kids should enjoy and look back on all the good memories not bad ones
I do not think that Williams deserves to get out at 25, that's ridiculous. He's only served EIGHT years in prison for killing two people, and shooting many more. He intended to kill all that he shot and luckily, he didn't have good aim. Nobody is debating that he did it as a juvenile, that's common sense. But.. if you say any kid under the age of 18 can't be tried as an adult and are only sent to juvenile hall (for example) do you have any idea what would happen? Chaos. Kids that get mad
at their parents, friends, siblings, etc. would go and kill them thinking they get a light sentence. I remember reading once in an article that as Williams walked around a new apartment that his dad was going to rent.. he thought to himself, "I won't be living here anyway because I'll be in juvenile hall til I'm 18". He thought he would get a light sentence for taking lives. He took two innocent kids away forever, and you defend him? It's ridiculous. He can go to college, eat, get visits,
even be ENGAGED to a girl whom went to the school during the shootings. Both of them are equally pathetic, if you ask me. To Williams' sentence to life, kudos, and RIP to the victims' and their families.
Thanks for your support! My brother was Randy Gordon and you've hit a few good points my family and I agree with. I posted earlier, but I should again: he won't be getting out at 25 :D
anytime, hun ♥ My thoughts are with your family, and your brother. May he RIP, and I'm glad you don't have to deal with any stress wondering if he'll get out at 25. I'm sure you're very relieved and you have every right to be! <3
I am actually reading all of this in shock. Most of the people on here seem like they just want to act like they care. I am not saying everyone. To all those who were affected we all know how it is. Love and miss you Randy. Joe, Sean, Ray, Mark, William, Kyle, Brad, Justin, and the rest of us.
If you knew anything of the situation (which most ignorant wastes of carbon like you don't), you would know that he was not bullied at school, and the only people who messed with him were people he chose to spend time with. Furthermore, in the Dateline interview with Williams, he plainly states that he did it to try to look cool. He denied doing it because he was bullied.
I find it funny that you choose to call me ignorant, when you can't even seem to spell full words or use a spacebar, for that matter. I don't think I have to explain why Williams deserved to be tried as an adult to you again. It is like explaining math to a brick wall, just less rewarding. The principal had every right to suggest he be sentenced to the maximum extent of the law.
You are a typical bleeding heart. You don't pay attention to the facts, and you speak out of your ass for the sake of speaking at all. You apparently have no concept of sudden loss or tragedy. Your insensative remarks just prove that your opinion holds no value. Hope, pray, bitch, and moan all you want. Williams will be in custody until he is 65, and that is that. Being a whiny little cunt will not change the facts.
I also do not care if I sound harsh. You have proven that you are not worth being nice to, and it is also apparent by your posts that you do not understand anything unless you are smacked over the head with it. To go back to the bullying argument, just to humor you, if every kid who was ever bullied got to shoot up a school with little to no consequence, we would have way more shootings than we would know what to do with.
As a student, I was a prime candidate to be a school shooter. I was a loner, I was bullied relentlessly, I played violent games, listened to violent music, and watched violent movies. If anything, I had more of a reason to shoot up a school than Williams did. I had no desire to do that though. Why should I harm others just because I was harmed? What would that solve? I preferred to be the bigger person and DEAL WITH IT. I turned out just fine.
Again I state, Williams made a choice. He killed two innocent kids who never did a damn thing to him. Two guys who had bright futures, were murdered in cold blood by a hot headed little prick. He did not kill his friends. The ones who, if anyone picked on him, were the ones who picked on him after school at the park. He told them to stay home. No, he decided to open fire on innocent kids. He destroyed a lot of lives that day.
So, with all that said, if you continue to post in an ignorant fashion, I will just delete your comments. This is not the proper forum for your inflammatory and useless remarks. This video was created as a memorial to the day we lost our innocence. A memorial to Bryan. To Randy. Why not go to an Andy support site? That seems to be a much more proper channel for you. I consider this goodbye.
@FadingLight im that way too im a bit of a loner and i take my frustrations of being teased or made fun of out on violent video games and fantasized about hurting my bullies, their were times i also considered myself a candidate for a school shooter cus of the constant bullying i got in middle school but when i turned 16 i realized that theirs nothing wrong with telling a teacher or a principal and that it doesnt make you a snitch or a weasel or some mean name some jerk might call you
So yea as i was saying Principal Karen Degischer should mind her business & take care iof her school duties,what right does she have asking a judge to sentence this kid to 425 years(that's the maximim williams faced)By the way I hope She's not a principal no more!
One think that got me angry & i thought was wrong was when Principal Karen Degischer asked the judge to senetnce this poor kid to the maximum.First of all she was principal & allowed the bullying to go on even though it had been brought to her attention.Second of all she's a principal not a prsecuter & andy was her student too,she ddn;t know all the facts & instead of seeking help & asking the judge to give this poor kid help she asks for teh maximum,she should mind her own business & do her job
It's been 8 years & i think Andy has done his time He should of been tried as a juvneile after all he was only 15,come on 50 years is inhumane!Let him out when he trurns 25 like he would of been if tried as a juvenile!
Here is a thought. Bring back the lives of those we lost. Take away the nightmares and the fear that everyone felt. When you can do that, then maybe I will think that Williams deserves anything other than rotting in Prison until his death. In my opinion, the judge let him off too easy. 8 years is not the equivalent of two human lives, and killing kids is more inhumane than any prison term. I agree with you though, he didn't get what he deserved. He should be in longer.
Well Fading light i don't know if ur a male or female not that it matters but i will tell you this,The United States is the only country in the world who sentences juveniles to life with out parole or long sentences,they are breaking international law, this from a country who boasts were for human rights.first off he was 15,Bein 15 is a juveneile so that's the law he should of been tried on.Just curiuos how much time you think he should of got?So yea 15 is a juvenile not an adult!
If me being a male or female doesn't matter, then why address the issue at all, except to waste my time? You mistake me for someone who cares about the shooter, or criminals period for that matter. The matter is simple, cut, and dry. You commit an adult crime, you do adult time. Find me a link to the international law that states you can't sentence a juvenile as an adult, and I will be more inclined to believe your argument, though I will still not really care.
Your beliefs mean nothing to me. A belief is a belief. California law states that if you do an adult crime, you have a good chance at doing adult time. I am well aware that 15 is juvenile and not adult. Don't insult my intelligence by repeating meaningless facts at me, and don't play your "the shooter is a victim too" bullshit at me. I have no sympathy for anyone who can so coldly take human lives like that. He never had to go to prison at all, had he not decided to kill two students.
Williams made a choice to go to prison. He brought a gun to school and made the decision to kill Bryan and Randy. Two innocent students. Two students who didn't have a choice in having their lives taken from them. You talk as though Williams had to do what he did. He didn't. He made a choice, and when you make a choice as grave as taking it upon yourself to end someone elses life, you have no right to bitch and moan when you have to face the consequences.
I promise you that you do not want to argue this with me. You will never get me to sympathize with a pathetic, scummy, murderer. I doubt you will find too much sympathy from anyone who was affected by his callous act of cowardice. Go ahead though, keep talking about how wrong it is that he is in prison. Preach about injustice. Keep in mind though, there is no greater injustice than the taking of an innocent life, and if you believe otherwise then you are more pathetic than Williams.
So let me get this if you commit murder that makes you mature & your an adult regardless if ur underage?So if an adult whose lets say 34 makes prank calls & gets caught (Which would be considered chidish) he should be charges as a child?Is that what ur saying?how stupid can u be.& one other thing i can careless if ur hurting on the people who died,let them rest in peace already!U go on & live ur lif,& maybe go to law school to learn something.I stick by what I think & I hope andy gets out at 25
Hope all you want, won't happen :D Think before you post, you're just an inflammatory dumbass. Your argument is so stupid, it doesn't warrant an intellectual response. I'm sure what you think are thoughtful posts on the internet actually mean something or will change something, but no, you're just an uneducated, or poorly educated, little thing.
See, youre just plain stupid. I'm not being as courteous as I should be, but your argument is so wrong that you only open your mouth to change feet. You have a small opinion that matters not. Read up on Californias law, he was an adult for many reasons all of which I dont have the patience to do your homework. You unsympathetic little thing. Inhumane? He gets a college education and hot served meals in his cell. What did we get? Nightmares and visitations to the corporeal shell of our loved ones
While I appreciate you taking the time to comment, I wish to point out that after searching, I have found no evidence to suggest that Williams will be released at age 25. If anyone can provide proof of this statement I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to make sure we have all the facts correct.
The DA would have told us if this was true, but my family and I are talking with them on Monday to see if there's any truth behind it. I'll post again when I find out.
We finally received news from the DA's office: he won't be getting out at age 25. People may think that because some have the misconception that he was a juvenile, but under Californian law, he was an adult and won't be facing a parole hearing until 50 years after his crime.
whose ur geography teacher (i know most of the geography teachers well and havent heard nething about this) they also just removed the last piece of evidence from the school from the shooting. the vending machine case in the small quad near the library (closest to 800 building) had a small chunk of metal removed from it by a bullet. they removed it ths year. mr bagnell is retiring this year (auto teacher) and was gonna cut part of it out but it was removed before he could
both my brother and i are going to Santana now (hes a senior im a freshmen) and i could never believe somthing like this has ever happened at my school. i remember watching somthing about it on TV and my mom saying we were never going to attend Santana but here we are in the best school ive ever been to that has a bad past and nothing more. i love santana! but i hate how sad March 5th is for it.
hey i am very sorry for everyone's losses. i go to santana right now, and i could never picture anything that terrible ever happening. i don't think that anyone could go through what you guys had to go through.
I wasn't sure if I should post, cause I know that I'll have to deal with the crap people will say trying to defend Andy while my brother forever rests in his grave.
From me and my family, thanks for your thoughts, prayers, flowers, hugs and the immense love we received from you guys -- even people we don't know or may never know.
Bringing a gun to school is the ultimate form of bullying. He didn't shoot at people that bullied him, he shot at a lot of people that wouldve easily been his friend.
"Hey, f you. I haven't seen my brother in 8 years and never will. " I don't recall saying anything rude. I think that was a little out of order.
Having said that, I am immensely sorry for your loss. Nothing can undo what happened, but in the future, schools can care more and get more involved with their students. Bullying, in any form, shouldn't be tolerated. It only makes people more violent. Violence begets violence.
I don't think he should be defended. He did what he did.
I know you think you know what you're talking about, but you should probably shut up. Where he was supposedly bullied (after school) was at a park a mile in the opposite direction from his house 2 miles away. He went out of his way to be with these "friends" of his. Your presumptuous ignorance shouldn't be tolerated. Comparing your loss to mine... f you. Bringing a gun to school is the ultimate forum of bullying. Nuff said.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow. Saying sorry for your loss gets a nasty reply. Should I instead laugh and wish you ill?
He was bullied, idiot. I went to school with him and saw it firsthand. I have no ignorance in the matter, as I'm a witness to it. I compared no loss of mine to yours. I haven't had the loss of a sibling. Idiot.
Wow. Your apology means nothing after attempting to defend your so-called friend. So why didn't you do anything about it? Bring in authorities? Have him not walk extremely out of his way for it? Idiot. If it was really about bullying, why didn't he plead self-defense/insanity instead of guilty for murder? Right, cause there isn't evidence to support senselessly shooting into a crowd. Idiot, seriously. Be a friend to someone instead of supporting a murderer.
If you -carefully- read all that I said, I didn't defend him for what he did. He did what he did. I condemn the schools for not being more involved. He wasn't my friend, but I knew him. If I could've done anything, I would have. I defended him when he was picked on. I didn't talk to him after he moved, however. I'm not him, so idk why he plead what he did. He probably should've pleaded insanity, but it was premeditated. Maybe he needed mental help. Who knows.
And I'm not supporting a murderer. Jackass. I've already said I didn't support what he chose to do. I just feel that after all these school shootings, schools should step in more.
Youre trying to have your cake and eat it too and when someone points that out, you reduce yourself to mere ad hominems. This wasnt an example of a school not acting or paying attention. Dont blame other people and using it as an example of school bullying gone bad. Im not attacking his former friends just the ones who try to relate his situation as some attention grabbing comment on a webpage then defend themselves with there wasnt an excuse even in that light. You cant have it both ways.
Nearly ALL school shootings are examples of schools not stepping in more & allowing bullying to continue. I blame them as well as the shooter(s). I know I can't have it both ways, nor have I tried. I blame both; simple as that. As I've said before, violence begets violence. If some forms of violence are tolerated, the outcome will inevitably be worse.
God bless all who were affected by this horrible tragedy 8 years ago today. Time passes and pain fades away but the loss is forever felt by everyone who endured this incident. Peace be with everyone today and always
Today marks 8 years since this happened. I would appreciate if anyone who sees this today gives a moment of silence. If you believe in God, then pray for the families who grieve today. If you are like me and you don't, then at the very least send some good thoughts their way. Thank you.
i was a senior when this happened. And I was friends with randy, as well as a few that were hurt. I've been thinking about it all day. I have everyone in my heart.
Andy can be as sorry as he wants but it will never bring back Randy and Bryan, it will never erase the scars both mentally and physically of all he shot, and it will never bring back the innocence of all who were forced to bear witness to his cruelty.
@zanev From what I researched he sure is. I think he sobbed at the end of an interview and was so upset he couldn't read his statement in court and cried. Did you know him?
I enjoyed the video. Both my mother and sister work there. One of the toughest days of my life... because I was so far away from home and couldn't help. Lord bless those afflicted that day. My mother or sister to this day, will not comment on what happened because it brings back such terrible memories.
Our football coach got shot in the butt and it looks like he got shot in the forehead because they put a red mark on all the victims foreheads. Good thing he wasn't seriously injured or worse, he's a great guy
i was in 3rd grade when that happened. i live in santee all my life. i still cant believe that this happened. everyone in my family went to that school. i wouldve been the 3rd generation to go to that school. it shocks me even to this day that something like this could happen in the city i call my hometown. we didnt know any of the victims but all of my family cried that day.
Please remember this is a video of the emotions and horrors the victims endured. If you want to praise a killer, go make your own video.

May the loss of your lives not be forgotten and may good come from it in that we never have to hear of another tragedy like this. Thank you for the wonderful video. It brings tears to my eyes.

This was truely a tragedy, and I pray to God this never happens again.

I do not think that Williams deserves to get out at 25, that's ridiculous. He's only served EIGHT years in prison for killing two people, and shooting many more. He intended to kill all that he shot and luckily, he didn't have good aim. Nobody is debating that he did it as a juvenile, that's common sense. But.. if you say any kid under the age of 18 can't be tried as an adult and are only sent to juvenile hall (for example) do you have any idea what would happen? Chaos. Kids that get mad
laciscottt 2 years ago
at their parents, friends, siblings, etc. would go and kill them thinking they get a light sentence. I remember reading once in an article that as Williams walked around a new apartment that his dad was going to rent.. he thought to himself, "I won't be living here anyway because I'll be in juvenile hall til I'm 18". He thought he would get a light sentence for taking lives. He took two innocent kids away forever, and you defend him? It's ridiculous. He can go to college, eat, get visits,

aquaj001 2 years ago
If you knew anything of the situation (which most ignorant wastes of carbon like you don't), you would know that he was not bullied at school, and the only people who messed with him were people he chose to spend time with. Furthermore, in the Dateline interview with Williams, he plainly states that he did it to try to look cool. He denied doing it because he was bullied.
FadingLight 2 years ago
I find it funny that you choose to call me ignorant, when you can't even seem to spell full words or use a spacebar, for that matter. I don't think I have to explain why Williams deserved to be tried as an adult to you again. It is like explaining math to a brick wall, just less rewarding. The principal had every right to suggest he be sentenced to the maximum extent of the law.
FadingLight 2 years ago
You are a typical bleeding heart. You don't pay attention to the facts, and you speak out of your ass for the sake of speaking at all. You apparently have no concept of sudden loss or tragedy. Your insensative remarks just prove that your opinion holds no value. Hope, pray, bitch, and moan all you want. Williams will be in custody until he is 65, and that is that. Being a whiny little cunt will not change the facts.
FadingLight 2 years ago
I also do not care if I sound harsh. You have proven that you are not worth being nice to, and it is also apparent by your posts that you do not understand anything unless you are smacked over the head with it. To go back to the bullying argument, just to humor you, if every kid who was ever bullied got to shoot up a school with little to no consequence, we would have way more shootings than we would know what to do with.
FadingLight 2 years ago
As a student, I was a prime candidate to be a school shooter. I was a loner, I was bullied relentlessly, I played violent games, listened to violent music, and watched violent movies. If anything, I had more of a reason to shoot up a school than Williams did. I had no desire to do that though. Why should I harm others just because I was harmed? What would that solve? I preferred to be the bigger person and DEAL WITH IT. I turned out just fine.
FadingLight 2 years ago
Again I state, Williams made a choice. He killed two innocent kids who never did a damn thing to him. Two guys who had bright futures, were murdered in cold blood by a hot headed little prick. He did not kill his friends. The ones who, if anyone picked on him, were the ones who picked on him after school at the park. He told them to stay home. No, he decided to open fire on innocent kids. He destroyed a lot of lives that day.
FadingLight 2 years ago
So, with all that said, if you continue to post in an ignorant fashion, I will just delete your comments. This is not the proper forum for your inflammatory and useless remarks. This video was created as a memorial to the day we lost our innocence. A memorial to Bryan. To Randy. Why not go to an Andy support site? That seems to be a much more proper channel for you. I consider this goodbye.

@FadingLight im that way too im a bit of a loner and i take my frustrations of being teased or made fun of out on violent video games and fantasized about hurting my bullies, their were times i also considered myself a candidate for a school shooter cus of the constant bullying i got in middle school but when i turned 16 i realized that theirs nothing wrong with telling a teacher or a principal and that it doesnt make you a snitch or a weasel or some mean name some jerk might call you

pogostik74 2 years ago
One think that got me angry & i thought was wrong was when Principal Karen Degischer asked the judge to senetnce this poor kid to the maximum.First of all she was principal & allowed the bullying to go on even though it had been brought to her attention.Second of all she's a principal not a prsecuter & andy was her student too,she ddn;t know all the facts & instead of seeking help & asking the judge to give this poor kid help she asks for teh maximum,she should mind her own business & do her job
pogostik74 2 years ago
Also why not let children under 18 buy alcohol ,vote,& have consexual sex since we think there adults!U guys are a bunch of ignoroant people!
pogostik74 2 years ago
It's been 8 years & i think Andy has done his time He should of been tried as a juvneile after all he was only 15,come on 50 years is inhumane!Let him out when he trurns 25 like he would of been if tried as a juvenile!
pogostik74 2 years ago
Here is a thought. Bring back the lives of those we lost. Take away the nightmares and the fear that everyone felt. When you can do that, then maybe I will think that Williams deserves anything other than rotting in Prison until his death. In my opinion, the judge let him off too easy. 8 years is not the equivalent of two human lives, and killing kids is more inhumane than any prison term. I agree with you though, he didn't get what he deserved. He should be in longer.
FadingLight 2 years ago
Well Fading light i don't know if ur a male or female not that it matters but i will tell you this,The United States is the only country in the world who sentences juveniles to life with out parole or long sentences,they are breaking international law, this from a country who boasts were for human rights.first off he was 15,Bein 15 is a juveneile so that's the law he should of been tried on.Just curiuos how much time you think he should of got?So yea 15 is a juvenile not an adult!
pogostik74 2 years ago
If me being a male or female doesn't matter, then why address the issue at all, except to waste my time? You mistake me for someone who cares about the shooter, or criminals period for that matter. The matter is simple, cut, and dry. You commit an adult crime, you do adult time. Find me a link to the international law that states you can't sentence a juvenile as an adult, and I will be more inclined to believe your argument, though I will still not really care.
FadingLight 2 years ago
Your beliefs mean nothing to me. A belief is a belief. California law states that if you do an adult crime, you have a good chance at doing adult time. I am well aware that 15 is juvenile and not adult. Don't insult my intelligence by repeating meaningless facts at me, and don't play your "the shooter is a victim too" bullshit at me. I have no sympathy for anyone who can so coldly take human lives like that. He never had to go to prison at all, had he not decided to kill two students.
FadingLight 2 years ago
Williams made a choice to go to prison. He brought a gun to school and made the decision to kill Bryan and Randy. Two innocent students. Two students who didn't have a choice in having their lives taken from them. You talk as though Williams had to do what he did. He didn't. He made a choice, and when you make a choice as grave as taking it upon yourself to end someone elses life, you have no right to bitch and moan when you have to face the consequences.
FadingLight 2 years ago
I promise you that you do not want to argue this with me. You will never get me to sympathize with a pathetic, scummy, murderer. I doubt you will find too much sympathy from anyone who was affected by his callous act of cowardice. Go ahead though, keep talking about how wrong it is that he is in prison. Preach about injustice. Keep in mind though, there is no greater injustice than the taking of an innocent life, and if you believe otherwise then you are more pathetic than Williams.
FadingLight 2 years ago
So let me get this if you commit murder that makes you mature & your an adult regardless if ur underage?So if an adult whose lets say 34 makes prank calls & gets caught (Which would be considered chidish) he should be charges as a child?Is that what ur saying?how stupid can u be.& one other thing i can careless if ur hurting on the people who died,let them rest in peace already!U go on & live ur lif,& maybe go to law school to learn something.I stick by what I think & I hope andy gets out at 25

See, youre just plain stupid. I'm not being as courteous as I should be, but your argument is so wrong that you only open your mouth to change feet. You have a small opinion that matters not.

We finally received news from the DA's office: he won't be getting out at age 25. People may think that because some have the misconception that he was a juvenile, but under Californian law, he was an adult and won't be facing a parole hearing until 50 years after his crime.
caesarthefifth 2 years ago
whose ur geography teacher (i know most of the geography teachers well and havent heard nething about this) they also just removed the last piece of evidence from the school from the shooting. the vending machine case in the small quad near the library (closest to 800 building) had a small chunk of metal removed from it by a bullet. they removed it ths year. mr bagnell is retiring this year (auto teacher) and was gonna cut part of it out but it was removed before he could

Bringing a gun to school is the ultimate form of bullying. He didn't shoot at people that bullied him, he shot at a lot of people that wouldve easily been his friend.
caesarthefifth 3 years ago
"Hey, f you. I haven't seen my brother in 8 years and never will. " I don't recall saying anything rude. I think that was a little out of order.
Having said that, I am immensely sorry for your loss. Nothing can undo what happened, but in the future, schools can care more and get more involved with their students. Bullying, in any form, shouldn't be tolerated. It only makes people more violent. Violence begets violence.
I don't think he should be defended. He did what he did.
Lessthankatie 3 years ago
I know you think you know what you're talking about, but you should probably shut up. Where he was supposedly bullied (after school) was at a park a mile in the opposite direction from his house 2 miles away. He went out of his way to be with these "friends" of his. Your presumptuous ignorance shouldn't be tolerated. Comparing your loss to mine... f you. Bringing a gun to school is the ultimate forum of bullying. Nuff said.

He was bullied, idiot. I went to school with him and saw it firsthand. I have no ignorance in the matter, as I'm a witness to it. I compared no loss of mine to yours. I haven't had the loss of a sibling. Idiot.
Lessthankatie 2 years ago
Wow. Your apology means nothing after attempting to defend your so-called friend. So why didn't you do anything about it? Bring in authorities? Have him not walk extremely out of his way for it? Idiot. If it was really about bullying, why didn't he plead self-defense/insanity instead of guilty for murder? Right, cause there isn't evidence to support senselessly shooting into a crowd. Idiot, seriously. Be a friend to someone instead of supporting a murderer.
caesarthefifth 2 years ago 2
If you -carefully- read all that I said, I didn't defend him for what he did. He did what he did. I condemn the schools for not being more involved. He wasn't my friend, but I knew him. If I could've done anything, I would have. I defended him when he was picked on. I didn't talk to him after he moved, however. I'm not him, so idk why he plead what he did. He probably should've pleaded insanity, but it was premeditated. Maybe he needed mental help. Who knows.

And I'm not supporting a murderer. Jackass. I've already said I didn't support what he chose to do. I just feel that after all these school shootings, schools should step in more.

Youre trying to have your cake and eat it too and when someone points that out, you reduce yourself to mere ad hominems. This wasnt an example of a school not acting or paying attention. Dont blame other people and using it as an example of school bullying gone bad. Im not attacking his former friends just the ones who try to relate his situation as some attention grabbing comment on a webpage then defend themselves with there wasnt an excuse even in that light. You cant have it both ways.
caesarthefifth 2 years ago
Nearly ALL school shootings are examples of schools not stepping in more & allowing bullying to continue. I blame them as well as the shooter(s). I know I can't have it both ways, nor have I tried. I blame both; simple as that. As I've said before, violence begets violence. If some forms of violence are tolerated, the outcome will inevitably be worse.

i was in 3rd grade when that happened. i live in santee all my life. i still cant believe that this happened. everyone in my family went to that school. i wouldve been the 3rd generation to go to that school. it shocks me even to this day that something like this could happen in the city i call my hometown. we didnt know any of the victims but all of my family cried that day.

I lived behind the school, in apartments.
I stayed home that day, i heard the shots.
I can't beleive I chose THAT day to stay home.
I still can't believe it.
