14 y.o.boy steals deadly chemical from science class & poisons 2 classmates by pouring chemical into soft drink,but victims survive,in PA
Joe1orbit
Looks like we have ourselves a budding young poisoner over in Pennsylvania.
Police say that a 14 year old high school freshman boy tried to poison a female
classmate on Wednesday, by secretely pouring the deadly chemical potassium
dichromate into the girl's soft drink bottle. The girl, having no idea that she
had been targeted by a poisoner, drank some of the soda, and later on, a male
friend of hers ALSO drank from the same bottle.
Both kids became SERIOUSLY ill, were rushed to the hospital, and spent time
in the intensive care unit. However, it now looks quite certain that they did
NOT consume a lethal dose of this poison and will survive. It sounds as though
our 14 year old poisoner will at least be lucky enough to be treated as a
juvenile, although he of course does NOT deserve to be punitively punished in
any way, being a victimized creation of society, no doubt subjected to
significant abuse and trauma during his 14 short years as a slave on this
Pathetic Planet.
For now, the poisoner has been handed right back over to his slaveowners.
Cops say that they don't yet know of any specific motive. IMO, the "generic"
motive of feeling True Reality-based rage and hate and wanting to express it by
hurting/killing a fellow human or two, is more than enough of a motive. Our
enterprising 14 year old got ahold of the deadly poison in science class. Ya
never know what toxic goodies might be available in a high school science
laboratory.
It certainly is nice to learn just HOW deadly this chemical is, and according
to MY sources, it is a lot easier to obtain legally than is sodium cyanide and
some of the more infamous chemicals that past poisoners have used. I wish the
name of our 14 year old poisoner were given, so that I could properly credit
him for a nice try at murder. He didn't quite succeed in killing anyone, but it
was an inspired and cunning attempt. I give him a B+ grade.
Take care, JOE

Students hospitalized after drinking poisoned soda

INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
12/12/98
Two 14-year-old students at Upper Perkiomen High School were in fair condition
at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia last night, two days after police said
they were poisoned by another student who poured a deadly chemical into a soda
bottle.
State police from the Skippack barracks said a 14-year-old boy put potassium
dichromate into a female classmate's soda during a first-period chemistry class
around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. The unsuspecting girl and, later, another male
classmate drank from the soda bottle, police said.
Within hours, the students, who were not identified, became "extremely ill" and
were taken to the hospital, police said. Both students were being treated in
the intensive-care unit.
Charges against the boy are pending and may be filed in juvenile court as early
as next week, said Skippack Detective James Tarasca. He said investigators were
attempting to determine a motive.
The boy is now in the custody of his parents, Tarasca said.
Superintendent Anita Bieler was hesitant to discuss the case last night.
"We've been advised that, since it's an open police investigation, that we
should not comment."
Asked what kind of punishment the student might face from the district if he is
charged, Bieler said: "Incidents like this don't normally happen, so it's hard
to say what might be done at this point."
The students had been using the potassium dichromate as part of a chemical
experiment, Tarasca said. Police did not say how much of the chemical was put
into the soda.
According to the Merck Index, a pharmaceuticals encyclopedia, the substance can
prove fatal to humans within 35 minutes, if as much as 30 grams is ingested.
External contact can cause ulcers.
The chemical comes in the form of bright orange-red crystals, and has many
applications, including tanning leather, dyeing, painting, decorating
porcelain, staining wood, and inhibiting corrosion in electric batteries.
Bieler said students in Upper Perkiomen are adequately supervised in chemistry
classes in which potentially hazardous chemicals are used.
School board members Samuel Varano and Jeffrey R. Stauffer declined to comment
on the case.

have safety labels stating that they are not dangerous. I remember the old
chemistry sets that could do damage. We used to mix every chemical together.

Hello Sweetkittie,
Feel free to disagree.
>Poisoning is a sneaky,
>cowardly way
>of doing someone in.
I totally disagree with you. Poisoning is a cunning, astute, superior, and
less overtly traumatic way of killing fellow humans, than most other types of
murder options available to the enraged predator.
Look, society has chosen to make some forms of murder illegal, while making
other forms, such as abortion and the death penalty, legal. The WISE human,
when choosing to commit "illegal" murder, recognizes that the more 'sneaky' he
can be in the commission of his illegal but TOTALLY JUSTIFIABLE acts of True
Reality-based vengeance, the better off he is. He also recognizes that
COWARDICE can be a very beneficial and valuable character trait, if used
appropriately, in the right circumstances.
The notion of "courage" is used by society, to BULLY and COERCE it's
citizen-slaves into acting foolishly and recklessly and self-destructively.
>No respectable killer would use this method when more
>satisfying and personal methods are available.
I disagree. You are in NO position to judge what other humans, enraged
humans, should find "satisfying" in life. An aspiring killer wants to END the
lives of fellow humans. Every such killer is unique, and chooses their modus
operandi based upon their unique True Reality. Poisoning is a highly evolved
and IMO, superior method of committing murder, but on a solo and on a MASS
scale, and there is certainly no legitimate justification for denigrating this
method.
> I give this young man a C
>minus.
Okay. You are entitled to be a prejudicial grader. I disagree, and find the
attempted murder by poisoning of this 14 year old child-slave to be lyrically
beautiful.
Take care, JOE

living on the streets and the knife I had at the time sure came in handy. I also like
