Not really guns, but bullying and retaliatory violence yes. Peacemaker in the original run of Trigun is better for guns, this is more just a broad cycle of violent revenge that probably would have been better represented with a metahuman ability that acted like a gun. Axes, knives, bombs, fire, and vehicular homicides are all about as common in teens but don't seem to get the same reaction. The character writing was still pretty great. This show knows what character motivation is and I still can't get enough. Personally I get suspicious when the attack against arms in the name of some fictious and unattainable concept of safety starts to include passive systems like level 3 soft armor. Thing can't be swung like a shield and is still easily defeated by law enforcement so why are we outlawing it rather than sowing it into backpacks and jackets? Robbing a lethal instrument of its lethality seems like it should be a no brainer that everyone pro and anti gun would agree on. You wouldn't even know it's present in a backpack. The option should at least be on the table and not outlawed anywhere anyways. This contributes greatly to my pissitivity since I simply can't fathom a reason not to do it. You can make your own level 3 plates at home for $30 to $50. Now those I get since they're hard, but still inexpensive protection and in that case the plates would also work against everything else that isn't phosgene/mustard gas or fire. It should be as normal as keeping a rescue inhaler, defibrillator, insulin, trauma kit, and fire extinguisher. All those thing are for scary situations that shouldn't happen but do in a broken and chaotic world. 😵💫😵💫🤯😵
@@modakkagitplugga the US is the only place in the western world where these kinds of attacks are commonplace enough that you would compare protective gear to an insulin shot. If you think that the almost entirely unrestricted access to guns isnt the reason for that, youre delusional.

It wasn't an apology because he felt bad or regrets anything. it's only when threatened they say anything to get out of that situation, he was even mocking Jimmy before he pulled a gun.

If your show is going to be canceled. Might as well go out with a Bang to leave a message to the future generation. The Network can't stop you. This was such a Boss Move!
This Episode calls into consideration Everything that could lead up to a School Shooting. Easy access to a Pistol, Bullying without anyone willing to stop it(Student or Teacher), and a Desire for the Conflict to Just End one way or the other. If Schools just sat down and Watched this, they would learn how to Stop it by REMOVING all the the ways this COULD HAPPEN... if they Prevented Bullying, then no one would have a Reason to Resort to this. Talked with parents who owned Fire arms to teach the children to Respect them, or Sought Councling for the Bullies and their Victims before it got bad enough that the VICTIM didnt care how it ended, as long as it Ended.
Bullying alone doesn't make a school shooter. What makes a school shooter is disenfranchisement. Getting bullied wouldn't be as bad if the teachers/system were willing to stand up for the kids getting bullied and they felt like they had someone on their side or at their back. It's when they feel like everyone is against them, the students, the teachers, their family, that you get a school shooter.
I like how it shows a way a person could get a gun illegally due to irresponsible gun storage by the owner. To get your LTC you have to take a test and it discusses proper storage to keep it out of reach of people who shouldn't have access to it
Spoiler for the short: . . . . . . . . . Jimmy brings the gun to school to shoot the bully. The bully says sorry and didn't mean to hurt him. The common bully response (other than blaming the victim). His two friends convince him to not shoot. And Jimmy backs away and puts the gun down. Then two of the bullies tried to jump and tackle Jimmy. The gun discharges and hits his friend. Jimmy begins to cry and scrunch into a ball. Lessons. 1. Don't bully people. 2. Don't ever surprise a person that's holding a gun. 3. If you want to stop a person with a gun, grab the gun (or the hand holding it) and point it to somewhere nobody is. (Non-lethal). 4. Don't bully a person. Please.
also dont let ur head get to close to the gun, ppl at shooting ranges where hearing protection for a reason. u get a gun right beside ur ear and it shoots ur likely to lose ur hearing for a while. might even start bleeding from that ear. tho ik this from tv and mayb the bleeding is exaggerated a loud enough sound will cause ruptured bleeding and permanent hearing loss.
Should have had one of the metahumans use a telekinetic power to the same effect to have a broader message since axes, knives, blunt instruments, poison, bombs, fire, and even hands and feet are all still used today to take lives in revenge of past hurt and in many instances to a more horrific extent. Well done for tackling the bullying issue, but the anti-2A thing makes no sense for a world where super powered rampages and alien invasions happen every other week. If anything the dakka available to the average citizen should be on the borderline ridiculous. James Madison said you can have 10 to 40 cannons (technically as many as you can afford and fit) with an army of privateers to man them. Thomas Jefferson loved the .46 cal repeating Giradoni rifle with a tube magazine that held 22 lead balls so much, that he'd hand them out to potential enemies and sovereign peoples occupying the same territory as the union for the sake of fostering mutually beneficial relations (debate the rest of his character all day, but he did this too so good luck with any box) through the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Frankly, if they wouldn't agree that it might have gone too far, then you're still basically defenseless during a braniac invasion while the heroes are taking on the big bad directly. Makes more sense to address retalitory violence in general, and the writers and source material absolutely could have done this in an amazing way. Used to love this episode, but once I wised up it really doesn't hold a candle to the Trigun Episode Peacemaker. Realized my crippled butt is at the mercy of any 3 young men or person with a rock, and that when seconds count for survival help is only minutes away and after looking through the bloodiest century in human history, the last one, where more civilians were tortured and murdered by their governments than had ever been lost in war before I've realized just how correct the founding fathers and JESUS were. You need to keep the machaira on hand and be responsible for your own safety as well as that of your family and community when no one else is around. I'd personally draw the line before rhomphaia, but I consider that modern classification to be something to threaten a tank with enough sustained fire, so we're probably perfect on stopping at 50 bmg and stopping rifles, but if you want to be safe battle rifles might be the real stopping point if we're going to use level 4 plates as the modern equivalent of a reinforced 1st century Roman helmet rather than a tank, which is probably fair, and at that caliber range full auto and burst are more detrimental than anything. That's my personal understanding and drawn conclusions after witnessing a lot of innocents being betrayed anyways 😅 Hate for anything uses what's available or even drives to make something new to inflict suffering on others, and sometimes in the guise of justice
He School shooter before it was hip lol. But in all seriousness don't bully others its not fun and just leaves them with mental scaring and trauma, and you might regret it when you get older.
This was my first encounter with the concept of a school shooting. Nearly eight years later, February 5th, 2010. My former classmate Todd Brown was killed in the Discovery Middle School shooting by my elementary school bully. It… it’s been 13 years since then and nothing had changed. It only has gotten worse
My main question is how is 2000s cartoons able to tackle bullying, racism, prejudice, school shooting and everything happening in this current world better than any modern work? (Static shock, teen titans, justice league unlimited, young justice, etc"
It unfortunately likely won't, as kids are some of the most cruel and heartless creatures on this planet and the adults in charge of schools don't care. The gun is not to blame, it is the people and events that lead up to the situation. The problem is that most people don't care about that fact.
The people would just suck at adapting the material, and put in stuff out of spite to piss off the audience rather than stay true to the source mat, which is the ‘93 Static run.
@@t-rex_tion9612 They need to understand they shouldn’t be bullies and that consequences have actions. It is important that they know this is a potential consequence but it should never be one in the first place
@@superiorflame2654 you fail to understand. If it's reached the point where killing your tormentor appears to be the only option, then it's clear that you are only able to rely on yourself at that point. No one else is trying to stop it
So I know this was a after school special episode, but it is funny how everyone was terrified over the gun when there is literally a guy who will burn you alive.
people wonder what school shooters motive is and why they got the gun in my opinion it’s mostly because of bullying and the teachers don’t care and don’t have any real punishment for bullies I think if you push someone to far they lose common sense and how to think properly this can happen to anyone and schools need to change
Bullying others is not cool all it's going to do is either The bully's victim snaps and beats the hell out of them or *All the other kids with their pumpt up kicks*
Static should have had at least 10 seasons, leading into him in the future. The one we seen in the justice league. We was robbed of static shock man, one of the greatest superhero characters ever, the show was ahead of its time. Micheal B Jordan need to hurry up making whatever his making about static, it's about time he makes a comeback.
My teacher didn't do anything for me either. So I stand up for myself and others. But the teachers hate that for some reason. So I called them out and they still won't do it. So I went back to helping people
If those who are unaware this episode was to teach people the Danger of bullies and what kind of effects bullying would have on a Person and jimmy is the worst case Scenario But he was gonna put the gun down the other kids tackled him and his finger Tightened around the trigger and and ended up shooting one of His best friend in the leg
Because teachers don’t care as they also punish the victim as well and 99% of the time the bully gets away with it I know this because I got bullied at school and my bullies most of the time got away with it unless my mum got involved at parents night
When a gun is involved you know it's never about the bully. That's why I hate gun episodes. Because the bully was the reason for all of this and they did nothing to punish him. When someone gets pushed too far that person is always blamed for it. The whole "you didn't know that kid" bullshit comes up. I don't have to know someone to see a man that was left with other no options. When people want to be left alone it's a lot safer to just give'em what they want.
this is the conversation about school shootings no one wants to have....hell we discuss gun violence in the workplace why not school...i was bullied and even thought about getting a weapon for that azz, BUT i knew where they would end up in adult life and well they did many went to jail, unalived themselves, OD and i even have one that just got out for murdering her gf .....so yea....

Static Shock was soooo ahead of its time, Marvel stole and eventually warped its messages.
I watched this show as kid way back in the day, but this is the only episode that really stuck with me.
"I could show you a real gun!"
This is America!
Static shock is still one of the best shows I watched as a kid, definatly one I think all kids and adults who watch cartoons should watch
Indeed!
Origin story to the quiet kid began…
If your show is going to be canceled. Might as well go out with a Bang to leave a message to the future generation. The Network can't stop you. This was such a Boss Move!
This Episode calls into consideration Everything that could lead up to a School Shooting. Easy access to a Pistol, Bullying without anyone willing to stop it(Student or Teacher), and a Desire for the Conflict to Just End one way or the other.
If Schools just sat down and Watched this, they would learn how to Stop it by REMOVING all the the ways this COULD HAPPEN... if they Prevented Bullying, then no one would have a Reason to Resort to this. Talked with parents who owned Fire arms to teach the children to Respect them, or Sought Councling for the Bullies and their Victims before it got bad enough that the VICTIM didnt care how it ended, as long as it Ended.
Bullying alone doesn't make a school shooter. What makes a school shooter is disenfranchisement. Getting bullied wouldn't be as bad if the teachers/system were willing to stand up for the kids getting bullied and they felt like they had someone on their side or at their back. It's when they feel like everyone is against them, the students, the teachers, their family, that you get a school shooter.
Jimmy was trying to act “cool” by bragging about a gun
I like how it shows a way a person could get a gun illegally due to irresponsible gun storage by the owner. To get your LTC you have to take a test and it discusses proper storage to keep it out of reach of people who shouldn't have access to it

Jimmy brings the gun to school to shoot the bully. The bully says sorry and didn't mean to hurt him. The common bully response (other than blaming the victim).
His two friends convince him to not shoot. And Jimmy backs away and puts the gun down. Then two of the bullies tried to jump and tackle Jimmy. The gun discharges and hits his friend. Jimmy begins to cry and scrunch into a ball.
Lessons.
1. Don't bully people.
2. Don't ever surprise a person that's holding a gun.
3. If you want to stop a person with a gun, grab the gun (or the hand holding it) and point it to somewhere nobody is. (Non-lethal).
4. Don't bully a person. Please.
also dont let ur head get to close to the gun, ppl at shooting ranges where hearing protection for a reason. u get a gun right beside ur ear and it shoots ur likely to lose ur hearing for a while. might even start bleeding from that ear. tho ik this from tv and mayb the bleeding is exaggerated a loud enough sound will cause ruptured bleeding and permanent hearing loss.
@@chrislanglois8275 good call.
5. Raise hell and fire the teacher that just sat there and ignored the bullying.
I always thought I imagined this series I'm glad others remember it, this is the shit we need movies of.
Should have had one of the metahumans use a telekinetic power to the same effect to have a broader message since axes, knives, blunt instruments, poison, bombs, fire, and even hands and feet are all still used today to take lives in revenge of past hurt and in many instances to a more horrific extent.
Well done for tackling the bullying issue, but the anti-2A thing makes no sense for a world where super powered rampages and alien invasions happen every other week. If anything the dakka available to the average citizen should be on the borderline ridiculous. James Madison said you can have 10 to 40 cannons (technically as many as you can afford and fit) with an army of privateers to man them. Thomas Jefferson loved the .46 cal repeating Giradoni rifle with a tube magazine that held 22 lead balls so much, that he'd hand them out to potential enemies and sovereign peoples occupying the same territory as the union for the sake of fostering mutually beneficial relations (debate the rest of his character all day, but he did this too so good luck with any box) through the Lewis and Clarke expedition.
Frankly, if they wouldn't agree that it might have gone too far, then you're still basically defenseless during a braniac invasion while the heroes are taking on the big bad directly.
Makes more sense to address retalitory violence in general, and the writers and source material absolutely could have done this in an amazing way.
Used to love this episode, but once I wised up it really doesn't hold a candle to the Trigun Episode Peacemaker. Realized my crippled butt is at the mercy of any 3 young men or person with a rock, and that when seconds count for survival help is only minutes away and after looking through the bloodiest century in human history, the last one, where more civilians were tortured and murdered by their governments than had ever been lost in war before I've realized just how correct the founding fathers and JESUS were. You need to keep the machaira on hand and be responsible for your own safety as well as that of your family and community when no one else is around.
I'd personally draw the line before rhomphaia, but I consider that modern classification to be something to threaten a tank with enough sustained fire, so we're probably perfect on stopping at 50 bmg and stopping rifles, but if you want to be safe battle rifles might be the real stopping point if we're going to use level 4 plates as the modern equivalent of a reinforced 1st century Roman helmet rather than a tank, which is probably fair, and at that caliber range full auto and burst are more detrimental than anything.
That's my personal understanding and drawn conclusions after witnessing a lot of innocents being betrayed anyways 😅
Hate for anything uses what's available or even drives to make something new to inflict suffering on others, and sometimes in the guise of justice
Handle this subject way better than glee!
"bro do I wanna see a real gun? I've had one of those since I was 13." Would have been a great response to that question.
He School shooter before it was hip lol.
But in all seriousness don't bully others its not fun and just leaves them with mental scaring and trauma, and you might regret it when you get older.
This was my first encounter with the concept of a school shooting.
Nearly eight years later, February 5th, 2010. My former classmate Todd Brown was killed in the Discovery Middle School shooting by my elementary school bully.
It… it’s been 13 years since then and nothing had changed. It only has gotten worse
You guys are cool don't come to school tomorrow
This is clearly the quiet kid
The episode is even darker than what is shown in this short
The realest superhero cartoon ever and the main character gained electric powers from mutant gas.
Jimmy be looking like Peyton from Chaotic
Wow, shaggy was real different back then
This show as ahead of its time
Memories are reliving Truama , Nut Over Coming them
Not surprised, it's all fun & games until someone snaps
My main question is how is 2000s cartoons able to tackle bullying, racism, prejudice, school shooting and everything happening in this current world better than any modern work? (Static shock, teen titans, justice league unlimited, young justice, etc"
Bro it's 2023, 20 Years later since Static Shock was on air and shit still hasn't changed here in America 😔
It unfortunately likely won't, as kids are some of the most cruel and heartless creatures on this planet and the adults in charge of schools don't care. The gun is not to blame, it is the people and events that lead up to the situation. The problem is that most people don't care about that fact.
We need more shows like this for kids they handled shit they won't even touch now realistically
Nah this generation rather learn about bathroom sighs and gay
Static Shock was a gem..I wonder why they hadn't made an adaptation for this one today..
hes not a strong black women and richies a racist or his dad is so canceled
The people would just suck at adapting the material, and put in stuff out of spite to piss off the audience rather than stay true to the source mat, which is the ‘93 Static run.
I think black lighting should have introduced static shock some way. It would have been the perfect time
Dude does pull a gun on the bully and should have shot him multiple times.
Bullying doesn’t deserve taking a life as a consequence. Besides it’s not worth having your record ruined because you got bullied
@@superiorflame2654 no, but bully's need to understand its always an option.
@@t-rex_tion9612 They need to understand they shouldn’t be bullies and that consequences have actions. It is important that they know this is a potential consequence but it should never be one in the first place
@@superiorflame2654 nah blast that fool if you really feel like it's him or you
@@superiorflame2654 you fail to understand. If it's reached the point where killing your tormentor appears to be the only option, then it's clear that you are only able to rely on yourself at that point. No one else is trying to stop it
So I know this was a after school special episode, but it is funny how everyone was terrified over the gun when there is literally a guy who will burn you alive.
If only the teacher cared and paid attention then something would've changed and been done
This is why I don't agree with people who say bullying is okay because it builds character or whatever they try to say to justify it.
people actually say this? wow...they must be extremely stupid and airheaded
Bro is the definition of the quit kid
people wonder what school shooters motive is and why they got the gun
in my opinion it’s mostly because of bullying and the teachers don’t care and don’t have any real punishment for bullies
I think if you push someone to far they lose common sense and how to think properly
this can happen to anyone and schools need to change
I actually saw the scene where he pulls the gun on the bully, it was in a meme video but still it felt very serious.
He is the quiet kid
Bullying others is not cool all it's going to do is either
The bully's victim snaps and beats the hell out of them or *All the other kids with their pumpt up kicks*
Static should have had at least 10 seasons, leading into him in the future. The one we seen in the justice league. We was robbed of static shock man, one of the greatest superhero characters ever, the show was ahead of its time. Micheal B Jordan need to hurry up making whatever his making about static, it's about time he makes a comeback.
This was ahead of its time with this one
One of, if not *the*, best cartoon shows of all time.
My teacher didn't do anything for me either. So I stand up for myself and others. But the teachers hate that for some reason. So I called them out and they still won't do it. So I went back to helping people
Static Shock is a good example on how to deal with political issues without beating people over the head with it.
If those who are unaware this episode was to teach people the Danger of bullies and what kind of effects bullying would have on a Person and jimmy is the worst case Scenario But he was gonna put the gun down the other kids tackled him and his finger Tightened around the trigger and and ended up shooting one of His best friend in the leg
I like the episode but I didn’t like how Static broke the fourth wall
The last episode was a PSA...
Because teachers don’t care as they also punish the victim as well and 99% of the time the bully gets away with it I know this because I got bullied at school and my bullies most of the time got away with it unless my mum got involved at parents night
When a gun is involved you know it's never about the bully. That's why I hate gun episodes. Because the bully was the reason for all of this and they did nothing to punish him. When someone gets pushed too far that person is always blamed for it. The whole "you didn't know that kid" bullshit comes up. I don't have to know someone to see a man that was left with other no options. When people want to be left alone it's a lot safer to just give'em what they want.
This was hard to watch when I was a kid
this is the conversation about school shootings no one wants to have....hell we discuss gun violence in the workplace why not school...i was bullied and even thought about getting a weapon for that azz, BUT i knew where they would end up in adult life and well they did many went to jail, unalived themselves, OD and i even have one that just got out for murdering her gf .....so yea....
They don't make em like this anymore
Jimmy's got a gunnnnn......
Oh my God I'm the exact same person.😐... now I see why no one talks to me.
Only good show that showed kids how the world works I’m wondering why the gov here in the us is starting to make kids believe the worlds sunshine and rainbows when it’s not the tv shows we have don’t really even tackle events like this
This is a foreshadow what happens in the real world
I'm sorry it's just so fucking funny to me that he told the only colored charater in the room he had a gun and then proceeded to shot The gay charater
I am the storm that is indeed approaching
I miss static shock that show kicked ass
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!!!!
Hey, May 4th 2002 is when I was born
