But that’s how we stop government tyranny

They faked being dead. They laid on or near their dead classmates and pretended to be dead, too.

There aren’t enough curse words or enough tears for this.

and you can't blame this on Trumpism. The 2nd choice in 2016 was Ted Cruz.

Totally normal for a fourth grader

Often in fear of people of other races who are less likely to have a gun in the house.

There is alot of anger at the response by the police. I have included this thread from information made earlier today.

I am going to say, the 6 minute video at the end is absolutely horrific as a parent.

Wtf

The teachers and students are more brave than the police officers in their body armor armed with long guns

husband of one of the teachers killed died from a heart attack today. They leave behind 4 kids

if you really expected local police to charge in and stop the shooter I'm not sure you have a great handle on why they exist and what function cops actually serve imo

The more I have read from you and a few others on this board, the more my eyes have been opened. Their actions on Tuesday are yet another awful example.

“Will someone think of the property?”

I think as told good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. If the cops won’t do that then they are bad guys.

As a society we're literally sacrificing kids and teachers so that people can teach their kids to do this and possess this many weapons. We're the most violent "civilized" society on the planet. Insanity.
