WE NEED TO ARM THE GODDAMN KIDS!For the sake of argument, let's say teachers get armed. What would conservatives say when a teacher guns down his classroom?

If you just give them a pistol it's worse than current state. So you need to 1) give them rifles 2) train them in using these properly together with some tactics. Most teachers would rather quit at this point since they didn't sign up for SWATFor the sake of argument, let's say teachers get armed.

It turns out cops aren't good guys.And all you need is a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. Apparently!
I mean surely they would of heard gunfire and screams from outside the building, from children and they did nothing.
Nope. My initial response:What the hell are you thinking, Joe?
@Raoul @Carolina Red Can you tell me what is he doing? People are asking for investigations not because of political gains but because it is the right thing to do in front of cowardice.
Yeah, that's fecking stupid.
the police were absolute pussies. It is your job to go in not "secure the scene."
I can't understand the calls for gun laws considering there was just as proliferate a ratio of guns pre 1990 but absolutely nowhere near the rate of mass shooting incidences as before. The USA and its outposts are uniquely mentally ill societies. This is the consequence post 2000
Sure. But because the DOJ is currently lead by that weakling (Merrick Garland), there is a reason to believe that the DOJ needs a shove from a higher force in order to get things done.Wouldn't it be Congress that would call for an investigation in something like this?
I think the failing of this post is partly explained within your post. The Lisa who dies of Flu or Covid is largely none preventable probably due to a weak immunity. The Lisa who dies by gun crime is preventable, which you point. A quick google shows homocides by gun per year is nearly 20,000 people in the US, and gun homocide is around 78% of all homocides compared to only 4% in the UK for example. Simply put America has more murders because it has a corrupt government that favours corporations over citizens at every turnBecause of the overblown media proportion these events get. If Lisa dies from flu, it is not sexy to talk about that on TV. Just something of nature, probably preventable, but something you get used to it. If Lisa dies in a mass shooting, then she has a name and a face, and it is tragic. It is also completely preventable by applying gun measures, which the US for pretty much no rational reasons has decided to not apply.
But in the grand scheme of things, there are very few kids who die from mass shootings (and very few people in general). There were around 1300 people who dies in mass shootings from 2009 to 2021. That is less than how many died from covid in 8 hours during the peak of the pandemic. Yesterday there were more deaths by covid in the US, then the combined number of deaths from mass shootings during the last year.
It is tragic for people (and their families/friends) who die in mass shootings, and obviously, it should be prevented. But statistically, it is also completely insignificant.
Obviously it needs more funding. It’s the only way forward.I'm so fecking mad right now.
If that police department escapes any consequences, someone should do something else.
Couple of weeks. The abortion decision & the carry decision will occur in the same week.When is the Supreme Court due to make that decision on concealed carry laws?
School schooling's are indeed very badAnd even from a statistical pov this is complete and utter bs. School schooling’s are among the most common causes of death for children in the US. I think some stats even show them as the number one cause.
There are investigations ongoing, as stated in the article, and he didn't say that bout the law enforcement thing, its a spokesperson. But yeh, bad optics, Psaki was a big loss.What the hell are you thinking, Joe?

More like spending more money from the budget and time into training. This below is an article that was published in the wake of George Floyd's death about how many hours of training American LEOs get compared to other countries. It's abysmal and I'm not particularly proud of the state of affairs in Canada at all according to those stats. Mind you, those other countries don't have the same budget for police as the United States do.Obviously it needs more funding. It’s the only way forward.

Yep. You don’t hear songs like ‘feck the firefighters.’More like spending more money from the budget and time into training.

This is a Republican newspaper that is completely anti-Biden. If Biden said that "there will be an investigation" then their title would be "Biden blames police".Don't worry, Biden's got their back.

defund the police. cops don’t keep anyone safe. they just drain resources away from communities that need them the most.I'm so fecking mad right now.

Yes she created her son's Narcissistic Personality Dissorder/Psychopathy and other mental illnesses with her selfish parenting which triggered all of this. And as a Narc she pities herself and her son as an extension of herself over the victims. Note how she is talking about defending her son and feeling sorry for herself over having a shed of empathy for the victims or their family. The perpetator probably had an unstable upgrading where either he experienced an abusive childhood or one where he was the golden child of someone who was clearly lacking in human empathy.
All murderers have their reasons.

That's fine. But as long as one of the parents of the dead kids is allowed to walk up to her and shoot her dead point blank. At no point must she flinch or judge the parent, because the parent now has their very obvious reasons.
