Prosecutors aren't supposed to make criminal law on the fly: McCarthy
The parents definitely did a lot of dumb things and created the circumstances where their son was able to commit this crime, but Michigan does not have a law requiring that firearms be locked up and secured at all times when they aren't in use. So, the prosecutors are over-charging the parents in this case to make a political statement which will probably result in a law requiring that firearms be kept under lock and key. What I find astounding is that the school allowed the kid to go back to class after what he drew on the desk and so what about the school? Weren't employees negligent too?

Whites are actually under-represented which proves that the media created a false narrative to demonize white people. That's racist!!!!

People are people and although there may be statistically significant differences between groups of people based on any parameter you can think of (race, education level, religion, etc.), ultimately people are people and we are all more the same than different.

Texas school shooter was ‘flashing red’: Former FBI assistant director
Twenty-one people shot dead at an elementary school. This is an incredible tragedy.
Although Salvador Ramos was described as “quiet” by numerous people who knew him, a young woman who worked with him at Wendy’s until March detected an aggressive streak. Several former friends said he had stopped showing up at school and was not going to graduate with the senior class this year.

twister: With a toxic stupid-intendent, the toxic k12 coordinator, and the toxic school board, it's a wonder that something like this doesn't happen in Trona and with the HS right next to the elementary the odds are even worse! Hopefully it never comes to that, but the toxicity of the school in Trona is off the charts, probably far worse than in the Texas town where this recent event happened.

Re: Mass Shootings - White Shooter Narative False

Postby mrfish » Thu May 26, 2022 7:17 am

Two Observations About the Texas School Shooting: Firstly, the shooter appears to be hispanic and so that doesn't fit in very well with the media's white shooter narative. Secondly, toxic school environments certainly increase the chances of this type of incident and Trona is as toxic as it gets at this time!

I guarantee that if the shooter were white the media would be making a big deal over the fact that he was white. But since he's hispanic they don't say anything about his race. The hypocrisy is so obvious and so blatant, but that's how the news media is and that's why you can't trust them to tell the truth about anything!

10-year-old Florida boy arrested for school shooting threat
The kid's name is Daniel Issac Marquez. Although his face is blurred out, he is shown in the video and in news articles. Definitely he is not a white male and so, again, we see the media narrative about white shooters being destroyed.

Clear Backpacks Now Mandated In Texas Schools After Uvalde Shooting
Clear and mesh backpacks have been around for a couple decades. Many kids like them and don't have any objections to using them. They're a good idea since it makes it less likely that handguns or knives will be brought to school.
