For what they’re paid? Confront an armed male? /s
Send in 4th graders until he runs out of ammo. /s
nevermind.
He’d previously said he wanted to set her on fire and watch her die.
The family spokesperson (lawyer) says that he was supposed to have had a parent with him at school at all times, but they were not present the week of the shooting. But the descriptions of his historical class disruptions sound as though there was no parent there to control him then (if that was even possible). It sounds like a nightmare all around.
I think I read somewhere that the requirement for a parent to be there had ended the week before.
Reminds me of a famous line from Apocalypse Now.
I believe precedent would put then in the clear go through a backpack, for example, but yes, I wonder about requirements to restrain him or search his person.
Got to observe that the parents were quick to have a statement out about acute disabilities and secured (yeah right) guns so I am getting a (totally off the top of my head) vibe of the sort of parent who’d be ready to raise hell if you put a hand on the kid w/o clearing it with them and it turned out to be nothing. But some times, you’ve got to decide a pissed off parent is worth verifying multiple reports of a firearm or threats.
I’m a little surprised that we have not heard from the NRA that the obvious solution is to arm all of the children in every school for their own protection.

I don’t remember the famous line but it’s pretty easy to imagine Martin Sheen saying that in a voice over.
Principal Kilgore: If I say its safe to teach this class, Captain, then its safe to teach this class! I mean, I’m not afraid to teach this place, I’ll teach this whole fucking place!

And now 10 more are shot in Lakeland, Florida.

Q: Watching the police statement, I heard the officer report that the 10th victim walked into the ER with a “ricochet Williamson”. What is a “ricochet Williamson”? Is this some “trick shot” worth extra points from “Active Shooter TV” on the Ignorant Gunner Network?
It’s “unimaginable” because it happens so routinely in this country that your imagination doesn’t need to come into play at all. Just your memory.
And here’s another one: A shooter with an AR-15 at a Target in Omaha.
A shooting at Target. Seriously, who’s writing the action plans for these people?
Is that’s what’s known as a target-rich environment?
If he was in the bedding department, it would have been a soft target.
Well, they say that the only true use for semi-automatics is target shooting…
Sorry. I’ll show myself out.
An arrest has been made in Los Angeles of a guy who police feel was plotting a mass shooting from his 18th floor apartment overlooking the Sunset Boulevard. The apartment was full of weapons, include several not registered and not legal in California.
