2. Yeah we needed another weapon that backfired

I thought at the time when I was in school in the early 50's that gettting pushed around or having the few marbles I had taken was bad but now with guns and knifes and now tasors what have we become.

One would think the parents who must have got the damn tasor would hide it as any weapon , guess not.

3. Why do you think the parents got the Taser?

I read the article it says nothing about the parents.

4. Because it's illegal for minors to buy them

The most likely scenario is that it was "borrowed" from one of their parents, though of course there are other possibilities.

5. Cowards. Typical of bullies.

Get them alone one at a time and I'll bet they'll piss themselves. Scum.

6. But you have to admit, it's better than being shot.

Try to look at the bright side.
