So sad that our kids everywhere have to deal with this instead of being kids

They usually pan out:

 

Know to the Authorities

 

Ignored by the Authorities

 

Trust the Authorities.

 

Lets see.

I would like to know the type of gun that committed this terrible act.  It is evil.

Nice try but last time I checked guns are banned in most schools. If anything this shows how well gun free zones work.

It's so sad that school districts think that gun free zones protect our children.....It's  sad that school districts don't provide adequate armed protection for our children.

Actually I would agree with that.

 

A gun free zone with no check point between it and gun allowable zones will always be ineffective. You can't rely on some invisible barrier.

 

That being said, surely there were some well armed bystanders just outside of school? It is Texas after all. We'll see if some local heroes sprang to action before the cops arrived.

 

It happened early in the morning. Surely some parents perhaps in their cars were around with firearms. Did they spring into action?

Well as is typical, he sounds like a real whack-a-doo. Social media profile is full of nonsense, rage, guns and anger. One news organization keeps stating they can't see anything that would provide clues to his mindset.... well I certainly see some Nazi and Soviet paraphernalia on images floating around.

He was 17 I think so another question will be where did he get the gun(s).

A lot of explosives too. I think we'll find out where soon (we can all probably guess)! No word on the potential accomplice.

There was on Wednesday, for some reason that was not worthy of coverage.

This day was always coming and this country and it's politicians do absolutely nothing.
