 "I
just started shooting, that's it. I just did it for the fun
of it. I just don't like Mondays... I just did it because
it's a way to cheer the day up. Nobody likes Mondays."
Not
really a Mass Murderer but what the fuck, she deserves to be
here I reckon. You may know Brenda Spencer from the song
about her, "I don't like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats. It
was the only decent thing they ever did, just as this was
the only memorable thing Brenda Spencer could have done.
Well anyway, to the story.
On January 16 1979 Brenda Spencer took up a position outside
the Cleveland Elementary School and waited for the principal
to open the place. Once he did so, and the kiddies started
showing up, Brenda let fire. For 20 minutes she had the
students, teachers, and even the crossing guard holed up. In
that time Brenda managed to kill the Principal and school
caretaker, also injuring nine kids, aged between 6 and 12.
Once tired of the game, Brenda went home and waited for the
police. For two hours Brenda spoke to the press and police
negotiators before finally giving herself up, and for her it
had all been worth it, for she had, at last, got her 15
minutes.
She was convicted on two counts of murder and is currently
serving two 25 to life sentences.
AMUSING STUFF
The gun used, a .22 semi-automatic, was given to her at
Christmas by her father.
A loving gift if ever there was one.
She was also given 500 rounds of Ammo.
A week earlier she had said that she was going to do
something big to get on TV.
She had dug a tunnel through her backyard. WHY?
Brenda had a massive addiction to violent films.
She had owned a BB gun for years and used to shoot birds and
windows.
