Had nothing to do with the fact the school was a gun-free zone.
Teachers and staff were not allogwed to carry. Like at Luby’s, they could only be sitting ducks for a rampaging killer.
Why aren’t liberals defending him? He ain’t an animal.
He was wearing a trench coat, I think it said USSR on it ...
Russian collusion ... ties directly to Trump.

Kids say he wore it every day, so they didn’t take notice....................
Wait. If he’s 17’ it’s illegal for him to have either in his possession.
In Jewish/Muslim tradition, a child becomes adult at 13.
A teen should be legally responsible for their actions. The cut-off at 18 is arbitrary
If you’re an adult, you should be allowed to carry.

The Supreme Court has banned capital punishment for juvenile offenders.
Yep; and why didn't the "No Guns Allowed" sign work?
As usual the media will fall into the same trap as they always do; they will blame the tool used (as long as it's a gun) and not the perp(s). Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
With eye witnesses to this crime by several people the trial should be held next week and the hanging (with no blindfold or hood) scheduled for the following Saturday morning and televised across the country.
Incorrect. Note that every sentence you listed took place before 2005.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper_v._Simmons
Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005), was a landmark decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that it is unconstitutional to impose capital punishment for crimes committed while under the age of 18. The 5-4 decision overruled Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 U.S. 361 (1989), in which the court had upheld execution of offenders at or above age 16, and overturned statutes in 25 states.
Not sure that was the smartest thing to do. Kids lining up to leave the building would be easy targets.
“He was wearing a trench coat, I think it said USSR on it,” he added.”
“Uh....what shooting?”
MS-NBC
“We know who it is, but unfortunately I cannot give the name out. He was wearing a trench coat, I think it said USSR on it,” he added.
So since Dylan Roof displayed a Confederate battle flag and that was the impetus to take it down from the South Carolina state house grounds, shouldn’t we now ban socialism?
I’m sure the Supremes feel proud kids can commit capital murder and get away with it.
They don’t have to look in the eyes of grieving families and explain to them someone knows right and wrong when they’re 18 but not when they’re 17.
What a bunch of f*ckin’ maroons.
Almost anywhere else in Texas, there would have been plenty of carriers who could have stopped him at some point.
Yep, causes confusion and panic and firemen don't bring guns. He should have either reached for his pistol or dialed 911 on his cellphone.
10 killed is the number now. Growing but
I hope they now have all accounted for.
Oh, the old “No AR-15, no foul” scenario huh?
The teacher couldn’t carry in a gun-free zone.
Little Dmitri took it as a notice to shoot up the place and did.
We’re lucky only 10 died. Could have been a real bloodbath like at Luby’s.
Bolshies deeply saddened AR not used!
