Serial killers are almost exclusively white males in this country, YMMV.

We had Duck and Cover drills, kids now have active shooter drills. I can't say which was more psycholigically damaging, but we never had a nuclear war while mass casualty events in schools happen multiple times a year in this country.

I assume that the parents have already been in contact with Shitenhouse's lawyer. Given the situation I have no doubt that the defense could easily make the same argument. Some bully at school frightened the poor young man and so he brought the gun to school to protect all the other kids and things got out of hand when the other students took it the wrong way. Could happen to any innocent kid. Get ready to pretend cry on the stand.

As if Republicans care... This feels like the result of Rittenhouse.

I was just reading a story about how he appeared to be randomly shooting at people but aiming at the chest and head.

Authorities did not say what led to the shooting, and McCabe told reporters that the suspect "invoked his right to not speak." Yep, must be a white kid. Black kid would be daid.

The video of kids escaping a classroom through a window is absolutely sickening and disgraceful.

What led to the shooting was that an unhinged teenager had easy access to a killing machine.

Oh no - the other kid? Last I saw, the teacher was expected to pull through.

Yep, and it turns out that the NRA was a corrupt anti-American organization this whole time.

This is all breaking news but the charges for the 15 year old shooter are in the link. I am interested in what his parents, especially the father who purchased the gun used, will be charged with as well.

I respectfully disagree, Arnold is the one and only Republican worthy of respect. But we can agree to disagree, that's cool.

Thanks. Shelter in place exercises were the worst. But at least my kids behaved themselves because I told them my story beforehand. And when I showed my US history class Bowling for Columbine I let them know I'd be leaving the room for the footage from the shooting.
