Fake school shooting in Britain traumatizes 10 year old kids

[right_to_bear_arms]

Did anybody else see this? I'd really like to know who the *sshat that came up with this idea is.

Students at a Worcestershire school suffered panic attacks and were left crying with fear after a role-play event in which one of their teachers was “shot dead” in the school playground.

The children aged between 10 and 13 were left traumatized by the stunt, which was part of a science lesson at Blackminster Middle School in Evesham.

The school shootings are blueprints, and intended events. The media knew full well that the fame and notoriety given the Columbine shootings would only increase school shootings, and like clock-work it has done precisely, and significantly so. What the media provides are prescriptions for behavior, or blueprints, which at least some vested powers hope are carried to their extreme as they do, believe it or not, serve not only profitable but powerful agendas. Sure, they may act surprised and shocked, but what they're really telling some alienated and ostracized kid is that this is the way to go out with a bang and get your vengeance. It also provides all sorts of new legislation and power grabs for governmental powers to swing in, relocation of assets and funding for 'enhanced security measures', drills, etc. you name it. We are not so far away from Orwell's 1984 or Huxley's Brave New World as we might think, conditioning is a very active part of our lives.

So not only do they disarm everyone, but they thought it was a good idea to give children a good mindf***ing at school?

Just when I thought that country couldn't possibly be more messed up.

Classical conditioning: for at leats some kids, guns will be associated with a fear.
A**holes.

There wasn't even a clear point to that!!! I'm with yelena, conditioning and brainwashing.

A science lesson? What were they studying, trajectories and exterior ballistics?

I'd really like to see the objective from that lesson plan.

What yabow comes up with this stuff? What person in their right mind thinks that there's good to be had from messin' with minds of children in this "experiment."

It reminds me of the War of the Worlds radio broadcast. While it wasn't an intentional misleading, it did have the same result.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(radio)

Some listeners heard only a portion of the broadcast, and in the atmosphere of tension and anxiety just prior to World War II, took it to be a news broadcast. Newspapers reported that panic ensued, people fleeing the area, others thinking they could smell poison gas or could see flashes of lightning in the distance.[citation needed]

Richard J. Hand cites studies by unnamed historians who "calculate[d] that some six million heard the CBS broadcast; 1.7 million believed it to be true, and 1.2 million were 'genuinely frightened'".[1] While Welles and company were heard by a comparatively small audience (in the same period, NBC's audience was an estimated 30 million), the uproar was anything but minute: within a month, there were 12,500 newspaper articles about the broadcast or its impact, while Adolf Hitler cited the panic, as Hand writes, as "evidence of the decadence and corrupt condition of democracy."[1]

Where it was headed is obvious, to me at least.

To make the kids fear guns.

To show that being outside is dangerous.

To show that in the end, the only safety is within the walls and comfroting embrace (no....don't think of it as smothering!) of Nanny.

in future, the sum of these kids experience wtih firearms will be colored by these early-childhood memories.

It may not have been a State-sponsored psy op, but it seems to be in keeping with the way things are going on that side of the pond....
