In 1979, 16 year old Brenda Ann Spencer was arrested after killing two
people in California. When asked why she did it, her reply was "I just
don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." https://twitter.com/historyinmemes/status/1653451572116848660




On the morning of Monday, January 29, 1979, Spencer began shooting
from her house[12] at children waiting for 53-year-old Principal
Burton Wragg to open the gates to Grover Cleveland Elementary.[13] She
injured eight children; she began with nine-year-old Cam Miller, since
he was wearing Spencer's favorite color blue. Spencer shot and killed
Wragg as he and teacher Daryl Barnes tried to help children. She also
killed 56-year-old custodian Mike Suchar as he tried to pull a student
to safety.[5] A 28-year-old police officer, Robert Robb, had responded
to a call for assistance during the incident, where he was wounded in
the neck as he arrived.[5]

Further casualties were avoided only because the police obstructed her
line of fire by moving a garbage truck in front of the school
entrance.[14]

After firing thirty-six times,[12] Spencer barricaded herself inside
her home for several hours. While there, she spoke by telephone to a
reporter from The San Diego Union-Tribune, who had been randomly
calling telephone numbers in the neighborhood. Spencer told the
reporter she had shot at the school children and adults because, "I
don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." She also told police
negotiators the children and adults whom she had shot were easy
targets and that she was going to "come out shooting".[5][2] Spencer
has been repeatedly reminded of these statements at parole
hearings.[15] Ultimately, she surrendered and left the house,
reportedly after being promised a Burger King meal by
negotiators.[5][7] Police officers found beer and whiskey bottles
cluttered around the house but said Spencer did not appear to be
intoxicated when arrested.[16] Crime-scene photos contradict these
accounts.[8]
