There was a school shooting but you’d hardly know it

School shootings were unheard of, back when Columbine happened. I was in Middle School at the time. Now it's something that would seem weird, if we haven't had one in awhile. Nothings ever going to be done, so you might as well ignore it. Once they give thoughts, and prayers, you know the Conservatives politicians are moving on.

Because the only thing that can be done is to change the way of life of millions of other folks. What can be done would make shooting sports (targets, sheet, trap, etc) available only to the affluent. What can be done would be to change our society to the likeness of those we sought to escape almost 250 years ago. I am quite thankful for those politicians who realize that and don’t make knee-jerk laws limiting the freedoms of citizens seeking to follow the law.

Great to see you back here LR! Seeing as you are a teacher and a gun owner what are your thoughts on having armed teachers? Would you want to be armed, or have access to an arm, in class?
 
Ahhhh, sorry for interrupting your virtue signaling. My apologies. As you were sir.

Sure bub, and if I decried Nazi gas chambers is that also virtue signaling?

There is right and there is wrong. Get to admitting that first, then we can debate solutions.

Oh I'm sorry, am I making you feel evil again? Don't worry, I am positive you will recover in a moment. :palm:

Funny you should ask. I just completed a 2 1/2 month course and am a licensed, CLEET certified private investigator. Now instead of standing at my classroom door with a wooden tomahawk during lockdown drills (or, heaven forbid, the real thing) I’ll be armed with my 9 mm. I will be carrying concealed. Our superintendent went through this training with me and we have two other teachers planning to complete the training next year.

What kind of fish is that? Pike? Must be 30 pounds

Did you know that lots of everyday people owned lots of semi automatic firearms and ammo for many years before Columbine?

It’s not the guns.

^^Precisely

What firearm course did you take and who taught it?

Maybe leftist scum like you should teach your kids right from wrong. Our parents did and we never shot up schools.

After reading that, the silence makes better sense.

The tragedy is currently the top story on ABC and The New York Times (US news) and trending on the Washington Post. Christians were not targeted.

It did fade from the media quickly. Hmmmmm.

The tragedy is currently the top story on ABC and The New York Times (US news) and trending on the Washington Post.

My wife likes to watch Lester Holt and the NBC Nightly News as well Savanah Guthrie and the NBC morning show and all they’ve had on is discussion about this shooting. I don’t sit there and watch this stuff with her so I can’t speak to what their discussions on the air are about but I know it’s on. In fact I asked her at one point “is this all they are going to talk about?” My thinking being you continually give these kids publicity and it just inspires the next round of shooters[/QUOTE]

Which I agree with. If it were done by the media for every fucked in the head shooter. We all know that is not the case.

If you’re going to apply the term equally—yup.

Arguably a hate crime. But they’d never go there with that.

denounced 'all these Christians ...hmmm


denounced 'all these Muslims, Blacks


Now that would have been huge

I'm proud of all our JPP lib'ruls who took a step forward and condemned this instance of atheist terrorism.....

Christians were not targeted.

I actually agree with that since there’s an obvious copycat element to it.

Imagine if it were done by kids in MAGA hats—it would still be a big story.

The tragedy is still a big story.

They were still talking about it this morning on NBC. The issue with the school shootings to them is the guns. They’re not going to stop talking about gun restrictions because in this case the shooters were liberals.

But you’re right, if the shooter is deemed to be on the political right they will go after them more along with the guns.

The media is also covering the tragedy as McKinney was bullied because he is transgender. The suspects' politics are irrelevant. Christians were not targeted.

I don't think the perps fit the left's narrative.

McKinney was bullied because he is transgender.

My point has more to do with media bias.

Granted, I consume a lot more media online than I do cable news so maybe they talk about it more than I realize.

Left-wing terrorism.

Maybe leftist scum like you should teach your kids right from wrong. Our parents did and we never shot up schools.

The tragedy has nothing to do with politics.

I don’t watch cable news but the Today Show and NBC Nightly News I think would qualify as “Mainstream Media” and they were definitely covering it. (Over covering it IMO.)

I assume by over-covering you mean undeserving coverage. In that case it is impossible to over-cover a tragedy.

Parents Of Transgender School Shooter’s Main Concern, What Pronoun Used In Court
https://thefederalistpapers.org/opi...nKgT5srSaOpehZkA5-dYGHvnPTLwqCgFAJB9ZORQ6m5nU

That’s beyond insane.

It is FUBAR.

There is no evidence pronouns were the parents' main concern.

Is there a ‘right’ to be referred to as a specific gender—regardless, of whether others recognize it lol?

That’s actually a serious question, as hard as it is to believe. Makes one wonder what kind of questions will be taken seriously ten years from now.

Yes there is.

Once a society opens the floodgate to insanity, there is no stopping it.

Transgender is not insane.

The point was more to do with the media reaction than the shooting itself.

A kid in a MAGA hat created a weeks-long media uproar just for smiling/smirking at a loon beating a drum in his face. It would have mattered greatly if the perps in the CO shooting weren’t trans gendered.

And I’m pretty sure we all know this.

McKinney's gender is irrelevant except for the fact he was bullied because he is transgender and that is why he carried out the shooting.

I lack the wherewithal to gender anyone lol.

What if it’s a form of delusion?

Transgender is not a delusion.

Depends. If you're a douchebag, you use the pronouns you want, sometimes purposely to annoy the person. If you're a well-adjusted person, you accept that the trans person has a medical condition, and use the pronouns they want.

Transgender is not a medical condition.

You quoted many posts I did not make so I'll address the one post of mine you did deflect from.

I did not include politics in my reply, I merely responded to a nasty leftist poster. Reread and learn to comprehend.
I said you should teach your kids right from wrong, as my parents and those from my generation did.
 
Sure bub, and if I decried Nazi gas chambers is that also virtue signaling?

There is right and there is wrong. Get to admitting that first, then we can debate solutions.

Oh I'm sorry, am I making you feel evil again? Don't worry, I am positive you will recover in a moment. :palm:

When you have nothing left go to the Nazi comparisons. Again, well done.
 
What firearm course did you take and who taught it?

It is the same firearm course that people who look to go into law enforcement must take. In fact we had to qualify on the same course that the police officers in our county seat qualify on. The private investigator thing goes along with it. It was taught by a certified CLEET instructor.
