Tell me this site is like the fucking Onion or something. Please.

“Authorities found a box with loaded firearms on a school campus in [Parkland, Florida](https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southeast/florida), this week less than three miles from the location of the 2018 mass shooting.  
The guns were found Thursday at Somerset Academy by a Broward Sheriff’s Office school resource officer, who then passed the discovery over to investigators, WSVN reported. The incident took place near Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, where a [mass shooting in 2018](https://www.foxnews.com/category/news-events/florida-school-shooting) left 17 people dead and injured 17 others.  
Following an investigation, the guns were determined to belong to the school’s principal, Geyler Castro, officials said. It was not immediately clear why the administrator brought the weapons to the school.”

Well, who has been saying that the solution to guns in schools is more guns in schools? Republicans, right?

Might I assume that the Fox News report you quoted was congratulatory in tone ?

Anyone else notice this bit of writing?

Explosions tend to do that.

This is the slippery slope they’re always talking about. First they ban your bump stocks and high capacity magazines, then they ban “Assault” weapons, and finally they blow off your arms. It’s the logical progression for Deomcrats’ America.

I am not a subscriber and I can see it.

Interesting excerpts:

> The man, who Dwyer said had an extensive criminal background involving weapons charges and manufacturing of explosive items, was under investigation prior to the explosion.
> 
> Small explosive devices were found as well, and police believe an illegal operation was running out of the house.

No information about what triggered the explosion.
