I was assured by very smart people that this was in fact actually a good win for Biden to get any pissant legislation passed!
Still amazing that the collective attention of a nation can’t stay on track after children get gunned down in school.
Look, what happened to those kids was a tragedy. But let's not dial back the needs of....uh.... domestic abusers... who need guns on a moment's notice
Hey you have a history of hurting the ones you love and promised to protect but sure you can get a gun you definitely won’t use it to harm them or others. We live in Hell
Women need to be put in their place. Sometimes it’s in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s in the ground. That’s for the man to decide, not sleepy joe!
They were always going to blow up the negotiations, its just really funny they landed on that issue to dip out on Absolutely shot at least 1 kid
Was it actually these shithead cops that gunned down all of those kids in cold blood? I’m just asking questions.
It's got to be more than 1 kid at this point, they are fighting this tooth and nail. It could have been they killed a teacher at this point or half the damn kids.
We know that if they had done anything remotely right, like actually save kids, they would be on Fox News daily talking about “durrr see a good guy with a gun!” The silence and fighting not to release any info says it all.
I know the answer to this but I’m just going to ask it anyway. If evidence comes out that the cops did in fact mistakenly kill a kid during this, is there even a shred of possibility that this would be a reason to NOT arm teachers? If these trained law enforcement officers with routine practice and education can’t pull their weapons without harming bystanders, what makes anyone think 22 year old Ms. Johnson in the 3rd grade classroom wouldn’t do much worse?
If anything this will pivot to a "only way to stop a bad cop with a gun is a good teacher with a gun"
Never forget that cops killed the legit good guy with a gun in the Colorado supermarket mass Shooting so yeah this ends with a cop accidentally hitting Madame Douberly the French teacher one day Fucking hell
Welcome back to school! Teachers pre planning schedule 8:00 AM welcome back breakfast 9:00 AM Remarks from Dr Johnson 10:30 AM data analysis of last years End of Course Test In Subject Discipline Groups 12:00 Lunch 1:30 Range Time with Lieutenant Dixon 3:00 How to make a tourniquet with classroom supplies 4:00 classroom time on own
They don't really think arming the teachers is the answer. It's just a way to change the subject from gun control
you're forgetting that Ms Johnson will have a mandated 24 hours of gun training because that's definitely enough
I wonder what will happen the first time an armed teacher just pumps one into a mouthy 4th grader who won’t shut up. Lots of mental gymnastics that will lead to more weapons in the classroom, I assume.
TBF, if they disarm domestic abusers that would leave police departments with about half of their officers getting their gun taken away, which would be nice and we are not allowed to have nice things.
whats going to happen is 2 students will get into a fistfight in the classroom with a skittery teacher who can’t break it up and she’s going to fire the gun to break it up.
My average Jr. High classroom would have probably resulted in like 3-5 shots fired per day and at least 10-20 for lunch/recess.
My history teacher threw a 3 hole puncher at a student and knocked him unconscious, so yeah... giving guns to teachers is going to be terrible. He was a great teacher though, just a little too animated.
Nothing will happen, the teacher will claimed that they feared for their lives. The teaching profession will become very attractive career field for white suprematist nationwide.
One of my Jr. High teachers would always mention that he had mace in the desk and would threaten to break it out anytime the class was unruly. "Keep it up, the whole class about to get it" The Milkman has probably already heard this story given how much it was talked about in the area.
The camera footage they wont release is probably the cops talking about how they are too scared and didn't sign up for this. And then they shot a kid.
Chief Ts & Ps didn’t actually use a key to open the door? At what point does this constant stream of lies turn into obstruction of justice?
I feel like I was deprived in my public school education because all the doors at my schools were just normal ass doors
Let me tell you about the elementary school I attended in 3rd/4th grade. That place just had glass(!) exterior doors with no second door. And get this, the classrooms had no doors! Shocked any of us made it out alive. On a semi-related note, my middle school had an odd setup where each classroom hall had a mixture of fully closed door classrooms and classrooms with no back wall or door at all.
depends on how old you are and how old the schools you went to are my 6th & 7th grade middle school was pretty old and was that kind of style, but for 8th grade they moved us to a brand new school around 2000 and it was almost a single point of entry type school that had a push open from the inside but had to be locked from the outside iirc
My former roommate (OIF vet and just a casual nut bag) decided he wanted to watch Saving Private Ryan. When the scene came at the end where the guy was getting stabbed and the other US Soldier just watched it happen, he stood up in our living room and said “YOU FUCKING PUSSY. ILL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW MOTHERFUCKER!” I had to remind him Twas a movie but he never settled down until later. Those are the people we need guarding the schools. Maybe those are the type of guys we need in law enforcement or guarding schools?
Meh. The current law enforcement is the guy cowering. Woody is in the bell tower Fuck it. Hire him and let’s see what happens. I’ve been drinking since noon so fuck it
