Monday is not an easy day for many us but 16 year old Brenda Spencer took herĀ hatred for Mondays to another level as she fired on the San Diego's Grover Cleveland Elementary School from her house across the street killing two men and injuring 8 children and a police officer. This incident took place on 29 January 1979 and the murder weapon a .22 caliber rifle was gifted to her by her father. She was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. She said that she did this as she ''hated mondays and was trying to cheer up the day''.

Yes I remember this well.
It was a song made for that day too by The Boomtown Rats about this very day.

Not really surprised. Frustration can take people to any level. Everyone should do yoga and meditation that calms one's nerves and controls their outbursts.

She was actually raped by her dad and was bullied by her classmates so she snapped

Killing people because she hates Mondays, does not make anyw sense at all. I dom't think that most people like Mondahys, and we have no intention of killing people becasue of it it. How can she feel that her Monday was better after killing people? It really makes no sense to me, as her mind is not where it should be/ i feel bad for the families, that were affected by what that woman did.

She did it because she snapped. She was bullied at school and her dad abuses her.
