I dread to think of some of the loonies that taught me being armed.

I can imagine our chemistry teacher who used to turn up in slippers accidentally holstering a tin opener before coming in.

Every detail coming out makes the police look worse and worse.

Serve and stand around letting children die because you're scared you might get hurt doesn't really have the same ring to it.

Have no source for this other than hearing on the radio on Tuesday, that more school pupils are killed in America each year than police on active duty. So it's actually more dangerous to go to school than it is be law enforcement. Scary if even close to truth.

Well, you can imagine the carnage a drunk 18 year old with a gun could cause...

They might at least fucking miss.

I’ve seen a few people saying in the US the police don’t have a duty to protect people 

They can be shitebags with no consequences

They don’t. Supreme Court judgement in 2005 - https://prospect.org/justice/police-have-no-duty-to-protect-the-public/

The current shower also refused to hear a case in January 2021 that would have affirmed filming police brutality would be covered under the first amendment.

I live in the US, in the south, and today was the last day of school. The local police department lined up at the school and were dishing out high fives and wishing everyone a happy summer holiday, in what was a show of solidarity/community after yesterday's atrocity. At first that seemed like a nice thing, but then it just seemed really fucking weird having a bunch of guys with guns dossing about in front of kids like it's nothing.

They also have a police officer that works there now, and he guards the front door, so if you have to take anything in for your kid, you deal with him. I'm sure they gave him that job to give him something to do, as he's a bit off. I've never been so conscious of where my hands are than when I have to go up to the door of the school.

Both my kids schools do active shooter training, and so does my work. What a crazy place. If houses back home weren't so dear we wouldn't still be stuck here.

living in texas - was @ work today, and not  even discussed about the shooting 

couple weeks back 1 of the houses in the street (gated area) earlier in evening got a safe stolen - solution for my friend and neighbour was to go and get their handguns and place them in holster & walk about the street ..........

apparently my friends know the uncle of the shooter - they live about 130 miles south of Udvale

The polis didn't do nothing. That's a scandalous lie and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for believing it.

They actually nipped inside to get their own children.

The solution is make guns mandatory.  Make every person be armed.  Also drones in the sky ready to blow up anyone that looks a bit shooty.

Everyone walking about in a nation wide Mexican stand off.  
 

America might actually do the first bit.  I’m away to buy stock in Smith & Wesson.

Fucking hell.

A lot of people on Twitter are questioning how the teenage shooter was able to afford to pay the best part of $7000 dollars for guns, ammo and laser sights.

To stop the guns falling into the wrong hands shouldn't we allow the guns to protect themselves by giving the guns guns of their own?

I thought it wouldn't be cheap but didn't realise it would be that dear.

The fuckers offer financing, BTW.

The changing police stories are frustrating, but not as bad as the word the cops handcuffed one relative of a kid for demanding they go in and do something, and were threatening another father with a taser. The whole thing was ended by a Border Patrol SWAT team…60 miles from the border. That’s another joke, the USBP can act anywhere within 100 miles of the border (which includes all coastline), or covering around 65% of the US population.

Personally, the police commander on the scene needs prosecution for negligent manslaughter…at least one 10 year-old girl was taken to the hospital, still bleeding, and died there…after lying in the classroom, shot, for an hour!

Police commander needs done for negligence.
