The high school stabbing suspect Alex Hribal, is going through a very rough time right now.  First he is being bullied, later he stabs people, and now he is being judged as an adult. That kid does not get a break.  It is not that I am supporting the actions of the kid, but I wonder what have schools done to educate the kids about bullying and dealing with certain situations. I know that what Alex did, is horribly wrong, but did anyone ever disciplined the bully, did the schools ignored the hazing in the school? There are many questions one could ask. I do not think that the schools are providing enough attention to topic of bullyism because the school massacres are becoming a normal thing. More and more people do that often. The injustice in this situation is that schools might not do enough to prevent the bullying because more and more kids are murdered at schools.

According to the motherjones.com website they state that the White House denied meeting with the victims of Fort Hood '09. For some unspecific reasons the White House denied their request, and I strongly believe that even people that "assure us that we will be ok" neglect us or fail to keep their promises. I know that when somebody breaks a promise, that is not a good reason to go and blast their anger against others, but the pain is felt and can affect one in a very deep way. I know that Alonzo Lunsford's request might have been too big, but for vulnerable people and heroes like Alonzo those requests may never be too big because they have done a great deal for our country. Has the government paid enough attention to its people? We like to believe that they do, but that might not be true. When will the justice be made? When will the promises be kept?
