Why in the frick would a teacher be posting shite on FB while an active shooter situation is going on?

How else would he get any sympathy or likes?

Is it the gun? Let me check. Nope, my guns are home being lazy.

How many gun laws did old Timmy Break?

No guns in school- law broken
Background check, prolly not. - Law broken
Having a concealed carry permit? Prolly not. Law broken.

Has this boy ever been to church.. prolly not.

But somebody is going to blame the gun.

I would be absolutely livid as a parent if that was my kid's teacher and they were in that classroom


A coworkers niece who just graduated college last May teaches at that school. I told her to tell her to jump out the window(first floor classroom) and tell her students later. They don't pay enough to put up with this shite and protect students. Her parents are telling her to quit today.

Because an inactive shooter situation would not go viral.

Not sure about Texas, but in AL you can't buy a pistol or get a CC permit until you're 21.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he didn't buy his firearm at his local gun shop.

Was the shooter the one getting beat up in the classroom twitter video?


They are all kinds of theories being bandied about on social media. Some people say this video doesn’t even depict the two kids involved.

Other people are saying it’s an old video of the two kids involved. And some people are saying the shooter got robbed by the aggressor in the video at some point.

One thing is certain. There are tons of people on social media tripping over themselves trying to justify the shooter’s actions.

By the way, I’m using the term “kids” loosely. I understand that an 18 year old is a adult.

My kids spent nearly the entire time in school in MISD. I am shocked.

Has anybody elaborated on why he got charged with aggravated assault and not attempted murder?

You don’t just shoot into the air and hit four people. He had to be aiming

People like you however live in this paranoid fantasy where unregulated totally free markets is a viable option and totally doesn’t lead to an oligarchy

We are as far from a free-market system as you can get and live in an oligarchy. Big business cannot exist without big government. And when those in power are given the power to pick winners and losers in the private sector, they become even more tyrannical and corrupt.

I don’t understand the mentality today….back in the day kids had rifle racks in trucks with rifles in them, and yet still if you were mad at someone you met someplace (Sonic is a good place) and used your fists….now days it’s shoot’em…

Another sign world is going to hell!

Simpkins has been charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault with a gun.

Poor wording by the media outlet. It is baffling Simpkins was not charged with 4 counts of attempted first-degree murder, since it sounds like this was a targeted hit. Add the firearm enhancement, after the fact, after the more egregious charges are filed.

Show me one example of a fight like that happening at a Christian private school not named Redemptorist.


I mean I could, but that's not really something I'm passionate enough about to look up
