Gunman indicates bullying as a possible motive for shooting.

September 15, 2006.- CTV News- Gill says his weakness is laziness and that he fears nothing. He says his most missed memory is "being young." In a posting at 5 a.m. the day before the shootings, Gill blasts authority figures and says "society disgusts me."

"It's not only the bullies fault, but the principal's fault for turning a blind eye ... it's the police's fault for not doing anything when people complain (ooooops) my mistake, the cops are corrupt sons of whores, so it's not like they can do anything about it. F--- the police," he wrote. " [More...]

A Muslim's Choice: Turn U.S. Informant Or Risk Losing Visa

July 11 2006.- Dan, it turned out, was Daniel Fliflet, a counterterrorism agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Ouassif met the agent at an Oakland subway station on Nov. 30, and the two men walked the streets together for 90 minutes.

Mr. Fliflet told the 24-year-old Moroccan that he'd been monitoring his friends and him for many months, Mr. Ouassif recalls.

Gang Stalking Victims

June 24 2006.- This is how it works: Assemble a large group of people together; people dedicated to getting rid of “undesirables” in the community. Usually a hundred people, although not always.

The harassment looks like “life’s normal breaks” to the selected targets. That way if the target complains about all of these things that are happening, and maybe realizes where it is coming from, the people he is complaining to are now regarding him as a “complainer” or could also be regarded as “mentally ill”, or even a “kook”. Throw in some sabotage, tell lies about that person, and ruin the targets reputation, and over a period of time that target will eventually be destroyed. [More...]

Blame the target. Girl 11 arrested for defending self.

July 16 2005 -Fresno CA. An 11 year old girl who was being harassed by a group of boys throwing water ballons and rocks at her was arrested by police after she threw a rock back at her bully to defend herself.

3 police cars and a helicopter were used to subdue and arrest the child. She was then put into holding for 5 days with only one 30 minute visit from her parents, and upon her release she was forced to wear a GPS ankle braclet for 30 days.
Even when being street harassed it seems that society does not want targets to defend themselves. This sends a clear message to bullies and harassers that thier actions are correct, and that they are not the ones that will pay the price. Visit http://www.Freemaribel.org or visit the bbc link below.
