An armed student militia trained in private religious-based schools is actually the most terrifying thought i’ve had today.
“We’ve armed the teachers, just arm the students! That way everyone’s protected!”
meanwhile….
"Something something ... Is a good kid with a gun"
Hahaha, you think you're joking.
...
Wow. Cant even satire anymore.
Hear me out, arm them with muskets. A gun line of Pre-K red coats would deter most potential shooters, but individually the muskets are unwieldy and hard to reload, and thus less dangerous overall to the other students.
Tally ho, everyone
Hold on... didn't the ROTC kids actually bring those things to school so they could spin them around, clean them, disassemble them and reassemble them, all in robotic precision? I think some even toss them up high while still spinning 😂. It's a highly valuable trait.
*potentially armed
As far as I can read, they only suspected he might have been armed, and at best found pellet guns resembling real ones at his home.
It seems he intended to scare others rather than kill anyone.
As far as news goes, I'd rather be interested about his parents and environment he's growing up in.
Everyone says parents but as a former kid who started to feel like violence was the only answer it was the school from students to teachers that made me that way.
Luckily though my parents noticed and moved me to a different school and most of my anger went away because I wasn't being tortured everyday.
Charge the parents too, child engagement!
Edit: endangerment, swype to type was not my friend.
Looks like the school goes up to 5th grade which would be, what? 10 year olds?
Just the idea that a 13 year old would be trying to access a school for pre-K to 10 year olds is suspicious enough!
Why? Plenty of jr high kids have younger siblings in K-5 and walk home with them every day. The fact that a child entering an elementary school is “suspicious” speaks to how utterly fucked our response to school shootings has become
Its AGAINST his 2A Constitutional Rights to Arrest him BEFORE he's Killed anyone! Also I can't wait for Trump to ELIMINATE Media and make Christianity THE Religion in America because I LOVE ALL Amendments and not just ones that Defend Child Murderers!

At the rate school shootings happen, carrying a gun is actually probably a good safety measure. It’s not like we’re ever gonna have gun control. Whatever lowers the population, am I right? Oh boy
