If no one was threatened, no jail time. Definitely needs mandatory mental health treatment though.

Not too surprising. High school coaches aren't trained to de-escalate the situation by escalating it with overwhelming force.

A grab, but no suplex follow up or cancel juggle into shine d-air?

Joking aside, I remember the story when it happened. Good to see that it ended as it did. Nobody hurt, the troubled person lived and is getting the therapy and support he needed instead of jail time.

Truth.

Also, back in the day, someone did take their life underneath the flag pole at my Highschool.
He did it in the middle of the night. I'm not sure when they found him, but classes weren't canceled.
It was one the rare days I got there on time. I remember we were all rerouted to our homerooms.
I walked to school, not sure what they did with the busses because the lined up around the same flag pole.
When his father found out, he offed himself as well.

Having a gun on school grounds isn't a crime? Is he of age to carry a gun?

Didn't say it's not a crime. A plea deal of no jail time but mandatory mental health treatment and community service is fair IMO. He only threatened himself.

Context, man. Locking him up would have only made things worse...he needed help and he's getting that help. now if he shot someone, i got you....but that didn't happen. even though it only seemed like he wanted to kill himself, the coach prevented anyone from getting hurt, and the reality of the situation was uncovered...so rather then stick him in jail and make his situation worse, they're giving him help to get better....that's a good thing.

Do you want to see a suicidal person thrown in jail for threatening themselves or do you want them to get the help they need to be a productive member of society?


I want people to be held responsible for their actions.

Why bring the gun to school? You know exactly what that does.

I want anyone who brings a gun to school to get a long stint in prison.

And you think that holding a mentally ill person in prison is better than getting him the help that he needs?


How do you know he's mentally ill?

If he pointed his gun at someone or after police questioning they find out he wanted to hurt someone but didn't follow through, he absolutely deserves jail time. But if his intention was to hurt only himself and do it in school for the attention, then no I don't think he should get jail time.

Oh, I didn't search for 'Oregon', lmao

Anyways, I know every person in this video. My mom was one of the people at the K-Mart [used to be, it's shut down now, but only recently] handing out water when they got the kids out of the school, and I've worked in the school district for a number of years now

Good, it would have been bad if he needed a gun to hug him.

And I bashed this over and over again when it happened. I was their live, but couldn't give much details because it's not that good of an idea to give too much personal info about yourself online. But I still told CE about it as it was going down, before the public even knew much about it. Students on Reddit were only quicker than me

But something so amazing happens, a school shooter gets taken out without violence, no one is hurt at all. But outside of local news, no one talks about it. It's been years since I've waited for The Young Turks to release a video about something, and I just knew they would do a video on this when it happened, but they never did. You would think a lot of the liberal news outlets would want to shine a huge light on this amazing story, but I kept refreshing and refreshing and no one ever talked about it until now

And I know I fucked up by not seeing this topic, but the topic I made thinking no one here was talking about it going mainstream, it too got zero attention over the two times I bumped it

But yeah, fantastic end to a horrible situation

If the guy was looking to kill himself of course another gun wouldn't have done anything...

great story and that coach really is a hero. the way he treated the situation and showed the kid some compassion is probably a positive life changing event for the kid.

Yeah, it was a pretty intense day. I think I said this in the topic I made (since I didnt see this one) that my mom was at the Kmart with her boss handing out free bottles of water.

At first they didnt have water and went to the local Grocery Outlet and was going to buy all the water there, but when they went to pay for it they told them what was going on and they gave all the water they had to them for free since the school is a few blocks away

Here is my Reddit post about it -
