(September 5, 2008)—A16-year-old student at Waco’s A. J. Moore Academy was arrested at the school Friday, a day after police say he displayed a hunting knife and threatened middle school students who were picking on his younger brother.
Waco police said the teenager went to pick up his younger brother Thursday at La Vega Junior High School.
When he learned other students had picked on the younger boy, police said, he got out of his car armed with a hunting knife and verbally threatened them.
Then he and his brother left.
No one was hurt.
It wasn’t clear whether the incident happened on school grounds.
Waco police arrested the teenager Friday morning and took him to the Bill Logue Juvenile Justice Center.

Bullies are cowards. They only feel good about themselves when they can taunt or harm others. By destroying another's self esteem gives the bully a thrill. That's the only way a loser knows to operate. There should be no tolerance for bullies anywhere or anyplace.

We have to remind our kids that they are being bullied b/c the others are jealous. That bulling crap can ruin a childs self-esteem. NO matter what they are picking on them for it is not true and the other kids is just trying to get some attention. It is just not fair the way the bullies come out ahead!

To Brenda. Blaming the victims for Columbine because of bullying is like a defense attorney blaming a rape victim because of how she was dressed, spoke, or acted. Do you really want to go along that line of thought???
