Day one after Graz’s murderous Spree: the “Krone” wanted to know how the students in Upper Austria deal with the events. Many young people are not afraid of the local inspection of two Linz education institutions, but a very nauseous feeling.
The day after Graz’s bloody act, everything works as always with the local inspection “Krone” for the BRG Fadingerstrasse in Linz. Children arrive individually or in groups on foot, with the scooter or moped in the educational facility, disappear into it. However, if you can look closer, it is striking that the flag hangs on the building in front of the building – a sign of mourning after the murder with eleven dead.
No more feeling
The 15-year-old Erik confirms a strange feeling. “A bit scared. We will definitely talk about it in class today,” says the student. Nanda (18) finds the situation a bit doubtful, but ultimately says: “If you go through life alone, you can stay at home immediately.” The access door at his educational institution was not closed during the day. When the “Kroon” runs there half an hour after the start of the lesson, the door is even open.
No normal school day
Also for the Linz Khevenhüller school everything seems unobtrusive. Only in the personal conversations it becomes clear that it is not a normal school day. “You try to place it in the background, but it is extremely present,” says Professor David Hackkl from the gym.
“Believe in man good”
The news of the murderous Spree spread on Tuesday during the current oral Matte. “We have tried to come outside to the mature press,” says Hackl. He is not afraid to go to work: “I actually have the belief in the good in man.”
High School -Student Moritz woke up the murder at 1 o’clock in the morning: “We thought about what we would do in such a situation. The thought alone is bad.”
An open school, freely accessible to everyone, would of course be the ideal state. Unfortunately, life is not a Disney film. It was foreseeable that we do not remain an island of the holy in the field of murder runs in this country. Just as there were already attacks and terrorist attacks, a massacre has now torn us out of the dream that our schools would at least remain a safe place.
Unfortunately, there is fear that there will be imitation perpetrators at a certain moment. You shouldn’t make it too easy. Like any other building, schools must at least be closed to outsiders in the future.
Blocked doors, security notes, security staff: After the bloody act of Graz, it is now being discussed again to upgrade schools on the high security wing.
Ideas that in my opinion would contribute to uncertainty rather than the sense of safety of the children. What do you want to exclude? The evil that is lurking everywhere? Do the children have to come earlier in the morning to pass control points? Safety measures in schools have long increased in the United States. And yet: there have been four AMO runs with a total of 34 dead since 2020.
