IMO as a community when you see stuff on social media especially if it is DMed to you got report it.

Seem like the school even had very good barriers to prevent this. So sad.

Everyday my kids get off the bus and come home I feel blessed.

The Police confronted him before he got inside but he had body armor on and broke into a classroom.

Most of these shooters seem to have pretty huge red-flags when looking back in hindsight. I wish I had a magic answer, but hindsight is too late. Need to find a way to notice all of the flags before its too late.

Like you said, if someone mentions shooting people, tell someone. That can't be taken as "we didn't think he was serious" ever again.

Note - Not saying that was necessarily the case here, because she didn't even know him. But its still beyond unfortunate that she didn't tell someone.

Also keep in mind we really don't know how many shootings are stopped too. the whole system could have a 1% fail rate for all we know. Obviously even 1% is too much but very few things in this world are 100%

I'm trying to stay out of this forum for my sanity, but here we are. I know I know - how dare CNN exploit this tragedy by putting a camera on people who just had their heart ripped out. If I may, I'd like to take the focus off Anderson Cooper and put it on this dad. Put yourself in his shoes - imagine you go to the scene of a mass shooting at your daughter's school to help as a medic - and you approach a blood soaked little girl who tells you that her best friend died - and her best friend's name is your daughter's name. That's how he found out. Heartbreaking.

Imagine you're a conservative politician at a press conference and you get more upset about Beto being rude than you do about 20 little kids dying horrifically in a locked classroom with no way out. Imagine your solution is to put armed security in every school - great? What about heavily armed security with body armor for every shopping center? Every public gathering? How about we add weapons master to the already-long list of certs a teacher has to get? They're adequately paid right?

You don't need to respond, because I'm gonna ignore it. Just wanted to vent. I'll get over it - just in time for the next one next week.

Normally the headline the day after a mass shooting in the U.S. is the location of the shooting and:

"'No way to prevent this,' says only nation where this regularly happens

They made every link on the page to a different version they ran with the different cities mass shootings have taken place. Then they had some great satirical articles towards the NRA.

Seriously, the Onion is killing it with these blurbs. Murdering it you could say. Slaughtering my bad mood.

Re: Parkland Shooting
 

Trying to rack my brains here but has there ever been a mass shooting at a private school?

If not what are they doing different or its just coincidence they have not been attacked ?

Why are guns banned from the NRA conference tomorrow? Don't you want legally armed citizens around in case a nutjob tries to attack that too?

I think that's pretty standard at venues where Presidents and former Presidents will be in attendance.

Dumb, what does a former President have to fear in a large room full of his most loyal law abiding supporters - while also being surrounded by his personal Secret Service detail?
