So I found out I'm on my schools "Shooting Watch List"
- Thread starter WhatIsThisIDontEven
- Start date
Pretty sure I was put on my schools list after they found me drawing pictures of stick figures shooting each other.
I was just bored. I had literally no ill-will towards anything at the time, and had no desire to shoot anything or anyone. Granted I can kind of see how they wouldn't believe me, but still.

If you're really bothered by this (and I wouldn't blame you if you were), you may be able to hit the school with a Freedom of Information Act request about your personal records to see what's going on here... I'm not very sure though, I'm kinda vague on it and it may depend on your state law.

I assume this is in America? Sue for defamation of character. If you lose the lawsuit at least you shed a spotlight on a potential issue of (at the very least) character assassination, and if you win, you get college or university paid for.
Seriously though, I'd question them on it. If that's a permanent record kind of deal, could it affect your ability to get into secondary educational institutions? Will it dog you for the rest of your life because no one bothered to ask you what you thought of all that?

"Religion: Athiest, shows lack of empathy."
Shit, they found me.
I jest, I jest. But seriously, I DO lack empathy. I'm just too polite to show it. That, and I like my friends and actually care what they think of me. I'm an outcast, I need my friends where I can get them. >_>
If I don't like/care about the other people, I don't give a flying fuck.
EDIT: Eheheh. I remember the time in 2nd grade where I got in trouble for drawing a killer snowman. And that was a good snowman, too...

No offense, but sneaking into their offices and reading through their documents isn't something most good students would do. Maybe this is an indication that you need to show more respect to people.
Although I am kind of shocked that they have such a list, assuming this is actually true

Based on that list, I doubt you live in the NE or W US.
I dont think it is wrong to be aware of potential problems like that, but the way they are profiling people is so ignorant and full of itself.
And who the hell on the school staff is stalking you to learn that!?
It also bothers me because it shows how judgemental the school is in a very studenty way.

No I like to exploit this (no offence intended)Fetzenfisch said:
Anyway I also am on this list mostly for being caught with a knife during school hours and all the other check boxes you have marked. the school says "lack of empathy" or I as say it not feeding the attention needing idiots that populate my rich kid school.
They totally were, Im just saying that the media hyped them as loners who didn't have any friends. Then there was that whole "she said yes" thing that turned out to be crap. Its just that you cant fit crazy people (or people in general) into specific boxes. That whole "snowflake" analogy I suppose.pippinj said:
That's pretty rude, to class certain people who you expect to do something. The worst things about school shootings is that it's always the person you least expect.
And if they do class people, why would they class you completely wrong? And who doesn't like metal? And who starts sentences with "and"? Oh yeah, me.

Well if their data doesn't say you will, say that if you do, SEEING that they had data that you might possibly do so IN THE FIRST PLACE made you do it anyway.

i gotta agree with you on that one, especially considering nearly every war so far has been religiously based.
Well, think about it,La Barata said:

Oh boy. I hope these don't follow you from Elementary to High School and beyond. Because in 1st grade, I was a huge WW2 aviation buff. So when everyone else was drawing flowers and ponies, I was drawing B-17's bombing cities. I was still too young too know all that entailed.
I also liked drawing all of the insignias of the various factions. One of which was, of course, the swastika. I had no idea what it meant, I thought it was just the symbol for Germany during WW2. So I'd doodle them all nonchalant on my paper during class. Parents finally found out and I stopped. Funny story when I think about it, but hopefully I'm not on a list like this.

If you want to convince people who aren't trying to kill them, you don't suddenly start smiling randomly. That's serial killer habit number one >.>Custard_Angel said:
