Texas school shooting

[hogpatrol]

Another whack job goes off in Texas. As usual, Google search's first page of results is from the usual leftist/socialist junk news organizations like CNN, NY Times, etc.

My 2¢ When there are means to prevent these, it's long passed time for school boards, administrators and those charged with daily operations to be held accountable for these occurrences.

That's not their agenda.

Unfortunately this is a very sad commentary on the state of mankind these days. Secure the school and it will move out into the parking lot, secure the parking lot and it will move to a bus, etc, etc. If a deranged person wants to terrorize, maim, and kill there NO is level of security to stop it. This kind of crap did not happen when most of us were growing up, but I am not a sociologist who can diagnose the problems or offer solutions.

Are you blaming a school board for the action of a coward that guns down children?

Blaming the school board is just passing the buck. The blame does not belong to the school administrators. I see the blame should be in the parents of that child, the child itself that committed the crime, and the students themselves if cyber bullying happens to be the cause.

The media making the shootings famous is the cause of the copycat shootings.
What happened to "when the rights conflict others rites"
Hold the media accountable. Reporting it the way they do is directly conflicting with the rites of the children's safety.

The school board and administrators should be held accountable. This is 2018, a year in the era of mass school shootings. How a kid can take a shotgun in to a classroom shows a naivete and incompetence on the part of those responsible for the security of those school grounds. Why aren't there metal detectors? Armed teachers? Armed guards or full time LEOs? These are common in the cities (and my school district) and have been common for DECADES. How many of these shootings are in the inner cities? NONE. How many work where an electronic pass is used to enter a building? I had to go through a turnstile with an coded pass to get in to my workplace and had been doing that for decades too. Why not schools? We have money for artificial turf, night lights on the ball fields, school sports, extracurricular activities and long distance sports team trips but not for security? I'll leave it up to those with kids in school to make the call on their priorities and whether or not schools have an obligation and a DUTY to secure their facilities.

Look at the last school shooting in Florida. There's enough blame to go around to any and all involved with this event.

Hog'
If I new the answer to all this crap I would get a noble prize. I lean more towards the up bringing of children. My folks would whip my ass when needed the teachers all had paddles now days it's so bad if you look sideways at your kid you'll go to jail.
Sorry for the soap box

I wish it was that simple but that is no different than blaming the gun.
This starts at home and unfortunately a decent upbringing isn't something that most kids get now a days. A good beating when your wrong and being taught to have respect aren't part of what happens now.

 

[swadiver]

the problem is not the guns, it's the kids. this generation is riddled with problems.

So apparently the shooter is in decent shape after being shot. I volunteer to speak with him about the locations of any other explosives he left. All I need is Tobasco sauce and kind words.

all we need to do is start burying the stories and not publishing their photos and names. Whack jobs used to die in their basements or closets. Now they want the fame they see other wack jobs getting. Every one of them is a copy cat looking for fame. Every time we put one on the news, we inspire the next month's job. My 2c. --Jerry

I - for one - agree:

At what point does ‘legitimate news reporting’ become domestic terorism?

And the bad part is that just about the time we will all look to and need intelligent, responsible leaders{I am 56 now}.......it will be this very generation trying to run things!!!!! Good god almighty NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[VaRandy]

Is there anyway that electromagnets can be utilized for additional security at entrances?

 

[Linko]

Violent video games have Nothing to do with these kids ????

I agree. Lock up the schools, they need to be like the TSA line at the airport. I suggest a bulletproof glass vestibule with a door in and a door out, cameras and metal detectors and police permanently stationed in the schools. My school teacher daughter said " but that would cost so much, many schools would close". My response was , "good, close the non protective schools."

There are over 350 million guns in the USA, and a 2nd amendment. It would cost too much to collect them all ( if you believe it could be done), both in $ and lives. It would certainly be cheaper to solidly secure our schools.

I believe it is the duty of the parents to demand this and to demand the schools be safe for their children, and to recognize the additional costs are more important than the side benefits of extracurricular activities they may be funding.

I put blame on the shooter. And there is always going to be another shooter, and if he can't buy a gun, his Mom or friend will buy it for him.

How many of yall have given guns to kids? This particular shooting will not be televised for long- he used a .38 and joe biden’s shotgun

WHERE DID IT ALL START? WHY WASN'T FAST AND FURIOUS PROSECUTED?
