At the beginning of the movie, there are some shots of the school building right before the kids show up for detention. Written on a wall is, "I don't like Mondays". This refers to a school shooting in 1979, committed by sixteen-year-old Brenda Spencer. Brenda's father gave her a rifle for Christmas in 1978. On January 29, 1979, she used her new rifle to shoot ten children and staff at Clevelend Elementary School in San Diego, California. The school was across the street from her house, where she was during the incident. She killed the school's Principal, and one of the custodians, and injured eight children. After six hours, she was apprehended by Police. When asked why she did it, she said "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." As for selecting her targets, she said "I like red and blue jackets." As of April, 2009, she is serving a life sentence, and has been denied parole four times. At her 2005 parole hearing, she claimed that her father had sexually abused her as a child, and that she was drunk, and on PCP at the time of the shooting. According to her, the authorities, and her attorney, conspired to hide the drug test results. As for remorse, she said at the time, "I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun", "It was just like shooting ducks in a pond", and "(The children) looked like a herd of cows standing around. It was really easy pickings." The incident, and Spencer's lack of remorse also inspired The Boomtown Rats' hit "I Don't Like Mondays".
