Bigotry comes in all forms apparently...

In the meantime, Robert Francis O'Rourke (aka my judge daddy gets me off DUI charges) shoots himself in foot and gets kicked out of Uvalde news briefing

Does it hurt or help his standing?

Are you seriously trying to say Churches/Religion don’t pull their weight in society ? You can’t be that jaded or stupid.

It’s shocking that you are the face of a non profit organization if you can’t grasp that concept.
We don’t call anyone stupid here. “Them’s fightin’ words”.

Carry on without please.

If the opportunity arises to “fund” vs tax, don’t count my church out as they do support the community beyond bake sales and words.

And good on you that you’d fund it too. My memory is short and there’s a lot of pages on this thread but I thought you were saying guarding schools wouldn’t work anyway.
They don't work, but if it makes others feel better...I'm not against it.

Does anyone really think there is a way to stop the nut job shooters? Heck members on a hunting site can't even agree. As said as it is our 2nd is in serious danger. I watched the President last night. His message was clear.

Well...when the mayor of Uvalde calls him a "sick son of a bitch" for his political stunt...
Time will tell. I am sure that mayor has to come to terms what happened under their leadership. Has to be tough.

I agree 100% we just need to figure out how to make the 2nd paragraph happen. Seems like we’re moving the other direction.
I don't think it will be quick, I think it would take people rekindling community values at home, and then voting in those values. I do not think it would work the opposite way where X political or social influencer starts some sort of movement.

Ummm...NO!

School funding are local, county and state responsibilities. They can raise the funds how they best see fit. One size does not fit all...

Responsibilities should match the level of the rights. More rights, more responsibility needed.

It’s completely unfathomable
Is it really though? This has happened more and more frequently over the years.

We have a sickness inside us as a country.

Plenty of blame to go around:

-Easy access to guns
-Lack of firearms training/safety instruction
-Underfunded schools
-Lack of mental healthcare
-In person social interaction dwindling due to social media (and covid)
-Lack of parenting and 2 parent households
-Social media cesspools that let monsters like this fester and become emboldened by others like them, living inside their own echo chamber of hate

One of the cooler things I saw from our local community was then the Highlands Ranch STEM shooting happened, Michael Bennett or Jason Crow went and started some self promoting speech and the students literally ran him out of the building.

All the sro's need special training and should be carrying m-4's. Two per school across the nation. $ is no object to help uke...use that $ here. 55 billion should do it easily. That is over 1 billion per state...

Who wants to live in that type of community?

It is to me, this particular incident especially… no part of it makes any sense and is about as evil as a human could be.

It’s hard to believe it could happen, mass shootings in general aren’t as much of a surprise in the current world, but this was inconceivable
