School Shooting in Texas

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Latest count is 15 dead. 1 teacher, 14 students. The school only serves 2nd-4th grade. I have no words.

I have words, but they would be said in vain.

Makes me think of homeschooling my kiddos. I can't even imagine. Don't want to hear details of this

I don't envy anyone sending kids to schools.  I don't envy teachers having to be taught how to lead active shooter drills or worse yet, participate in a live shooting.  But we've made the decision this is the society we choose to educate our children in.  It's terrible what happened today, but it won't be the last and it won't be the worst.  Only in America

Only in America

Obligatory

Sad to think that this kind of thing happens multiple times a year here, with no end in sight.

Cue obligatory thoughts and prayers. Yeah, that'll do it

Obviously tragic and blood boiling news. The gun talk aside, I don't know how in today's day in age an intruder can still so easily enter a school property. Regardless of cost, all schools need stronger security measures for entry onto the premises.

Sigh. Yes, schools should need to be fortresses. That's clearly the issue.

Platitude, cliche, lament, whataboutism, same arguments.   

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Regardless of cost? Why regardless of cost? Isn't there a limit to how much money taxpayers should be forced to spend on this?

This is one of those cases where we throw money at it, I guess

On the same day SCOTUS expands the second amendment to near vigilantism and in the same week a former POTUS and others will spend time in Texas celebrating the joy that guns bring to the lives of many Americans. 

Irony is dead. Long live irony.

Where's the gofundme to make sure GOP leaders  share disproportionately as the victims of gun violence

Give me a break. The school properties are not the problem.

It's the people with guns. Period!!!

And as long as the majority of people in many, many states support guns for everyone - criminals included - this will never end.

Now is not the time....


Said every day after every one of these ad infinitum.

I have words, but they would be said in vain.

I also have words - but they would result in a permanent ban if I typed in this thread.

I am so far beyond angry that I can't even come up with a better word(s) to describe my feelings..

The same week the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that woman beaters have the right to own guns.

A man convicted of breaking into his estranged wife's home and threatening to kill her with a two-by-four board did not commit a "crime of domestic violence," the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled. He will be allowed to carry a concealed gun in Wisconsin.

Not even their worst ruling this week.

Do you jack off when Mitch mcconnell tells us it's not the time for politics? Or is it when Ken Paxton tells us if only there was a good guy with a gun?

To be fair, Paxton also said maybe retired cops should offer their time to protect schools and to arm teachers

[Blue Horseshoe]

Wait until you hear about what the United States government did to Iraq.

Don't be an idiot. I'd just like to see a better effort made to protect kids at schools. I think that can be done. I agree with others that guns are the main problem here. I thought that was obvious and didn't really mean anything else with my post.

And btw I don't really know where that post comes from. Politically, I'm very in the middle on most issues. Maybe you are confusing me with someone else.
