Do you think any other developed countries are having to have their 4-12 year old students practice how to react if someone comes into your school and starts using assault rifles to mow people down?  My god that is tragic.  I can't even imagine being a teacher or administrator trying to train their kids, "Hey kids, we're going to practice what we need to do when you start hearing gunshots ring out?"  Or having to answer some 5 year old asking, "Why are we practicing locking the classroom door and hiding in closets?"

But the reality is every single classroom in this country absolutely needs to practice this.  Absolutely awful.

As long as the NRA whores in Congress demand their money, nothing will change.

I am going to step out, as my wife's favorite cousin has children at that school.     And the cousin has not posted an all clear yet.   

Kudo's to the police officers and firefighters/paramedics on their rapid and effective response.

It seems bad that my first reaction was “oh that’s an unusual demographic for a shooter”

[Uncle Rico]

At least those kids aren’t being taught about racism in American history

Hope everything's okay for your family.  That's scary stuff.

As long as the NRA whores in Congress demand their money, nothing will change.

As long as the feeble-minded mouthbreathers who have been willingly conned into this being a wedge issue continue voting for the NRA whores in Congress, nothing will change.

This was the Christmas photo of the Congressional representative of that geography:

Senator Blackburn is a 7 figure $ recipient from the NRA.

……………….

Green Hills, 2 miles to Belle Meade, less than 5 miles South of Vanderbilt University. About a mile from The Bluebird Cafe. Been in that area many times. Sad.

The framers for sure had assault rifles in mind when they wrote the confusing passage about militias.

Anyway, guns schmuns. What's really important is that we protect our kids from books, LGBTQ people and photos of the David sculpture.

Family dodged those bullets.

Family dodged those bullets.

Glad to hear it.  Hope they're okay mentally as well.

My distant relatives are 10 years old and 8 year old twins.    I won't speculate on their emotional state.

Very sorry for what your family had to experience today. 4ever had his kids and grandkids at the 4th of July parade in Chicago and now your family. The USA, and the world in general, is beyond messed up. It really does break my heart when events like this happen anywhere.

Seems reasonable.

Was this a biological man who identified as a woman? Or a woman identifying as a man?

Born Audrey Elizabeth.   Pronouns he/him



Something for everybody.

Wonder if on hormones. Could “explain” a female mass school shooter… exceedingly rare.

You are a sick f**k.

[Plaque Lives Matter!]

Really getting to the root of the issue at hand there JB. Real good stuff

[tower912]

It is going to be part of the discussion.  Prepare your arguments.

It’s good to have something other than rock music or video games to blame
