re: Nashville School Shooting

Being reported that the woman working the front desk (related to a Nashville journalist) stepped away from front desk for a break and heard the shots when she returned to the desk

We're a busy, purposeless society with far too many people entirely detached from what's happening all around them. Those things, combined with an absence of genuine community and an epidemic of disinterested parenting means a lot of people are slipping through the cracks. That's before you get to the guns or the political stuff (diminishing the importance of boys, etc.).

I don't think Washington can fix this problem.

If they allocated billions to it instead of to ukraine i assure you these would be dramatically reduced. Commit funds to hardening schools with access controls at practically every door then create private security teams to deploy retired military working with resource officers per school

Cool, now point this at the meme posting frickhead on page 1 that was turning this political while little children were being murdered. I’m sure your righteous indignation swings both ways, right?

Well things might be different if I had read all the posts beforehand. I saw the one being quoted when I jumped to the last page for the latest updates then tracked it down. But I don’t even owe you a damned explanation. I was responding to someone else and not reading every post.

Also I was not the one who tried to turn anything political so I have no need to express “righteous indignation on both sides”. I’m not a sick in the head “some of you people” either so blow me!

Shooter was a female?

whoa

Is it bad that my first thought is whether this is some trans type thing?

that's how rare this is

Wow...Female shooter!

In this case…no pictures necessary…GUILTY!!!

What you need to be asking is why these events were almost unheard of thirty years ago.

^ This.

It boggles my mind when people, in the immediate aftermath of these now all too common school shootings, immediately jump to the gun control agenda as though guns are a recent invention that simply did not exist before the mid-to-late 1990s.

Guns have not changed so they’re not the problem. We’ve changed as society. If we’re genuinely looking for answers to the school shootings, we need to look at what’s changed in the past roughly 30 years and how to reverse that change.

The question though, are we, as a society, interested in solving school shootings or are we interested in a political agenda?

The House Democratic Caucus:

“The House Democratic Caucus is praying for the children and their families who were shooting victims at the Covenant School. Caucus Chairman John Ray Clemmons says, ‘Our thoughts are with the families of the entire school community and surrounding neighborhood.’”
