Mass shooting at school. This time it was a female shooter.

[rhpierce]

I have a friend who is a teacher out in Montana; from some of his social media posts, the teachers aren't taking this well, either. The conversation I saw centered around, "we all know at least one or two kids like this who could be a problem", "I am just hoping to make it to retirement without going through an incident like this or getting shot", and "it's bad enough that we know kids like this who might walk into school, now we also have to deal with former students who might come back 10 years later?"

I mean if this is the perception even in one of the least populous, moderately conservative, "rural" states, we have a real problem. I don't mean that to say that I'm just now arriving at that conclusion. If teachers "all" know one or two kids, then our society has a very fundamental problem that has to be addressed. Yes, it looks like we have to harden the schools and do some things that most of us couldn't have imagined, but neither this nor gun control as pushed by the left are solutions to the underlying problem.

And if that problem is that we have such a shift in our society that people with diagnosed mental illness are treated as normal, even to the point of punishing others for saying that their mental illness is not normal, then we have a choice. Can't remember if it was Adams who said that the Constitution was made for a moral people and would not work otherwise; if we are at the point of moral relativism or amorality, endorsing any behavior as acceptable, then these kinds of incidents are a direct result and will continue because of the freedom that we enjoy. I'm not advocating for giving up our freedoms, but we also have to accept that this may be the price unless and until we can swing the pendulum.

I’m American. I’m transgender. I’m 15 years old.
Please, please, just let me grow up. I’m not a terrorist. I’m not a pedophile. I’m not a freak. I’m not insane. I’m not psychopathic. I’m a kid. I’m a kid. I want to live somewhere where I can feel safe and happy.
I’m a kid. And I’m terrified to go outside. I’m terrified to get older. I’m terrified to live.
Please, just let me live.

This has got to be the most asinine post of the year by a real douchcanoe...
Because forking liberal nut jobs like to prey on good, honest, moral people.

I often read how public school shootings are due to taking “god” out of schools. Weird kind of punishment, but then seeing this in a church school. Welp…….

So a kid that's afraid to go outside and live deserves to be pandered to? Sorry kid when you see a spider or the leaves rustle on the trees and you pee your pants. You need a large helping of suck it up buttercup, go out in the world and act normal in public and quit bringing attention to your proclivities

Often? Where have you read how public school shootings are due to taking “god” out of schools?

The shooters are upset that god is being taken out of schools?

I don’t want any Government Agency or contracted employee in our schools in anyway whatsoever.

If you want someone armed in school, It should be a local fix, $5 from every family, every week, if your child is enrolled in the school. If there’s 300 that’s $1,500 a week. Any local Marine vet would take that.

Agree with all of that. I was addressing the comment that reducing or eliminating schools as a gun free zone would be a cost burden. We spend billions on a proxy war without putting our military personnel in harms way. It shouldn't be considered a cost burden to help protect the most vulnerable of our population within our own borders. There ARE things that we spend money on such as gender studies overseas and climate change that imo would be better spent on providing a measure of security at our schools.

Similar dots or parallels drawn to my previous comment of federal funding/pay/incentives for the safety of the kids. Add it to the educational fund, military, etc. if 2-3/school is too much to take on, supplement 1 well trained and compensated individual with local PD (local pay incentive/time off language contracts) and build a team that builds a community that values safety. Arming teachers is a less workable idea. They can be armed regardless, but a state or national standard in that is starting from scratch.

I think a move to this too would open the channels for more bipartisan discussion on safety and the state of the nation. When “support our troops” (most state department contractors have military backgrounds) is more than just a feel good talk. Give these high level guys a structured career path that keeps them motivated, focused, and compensated.
