Hugh Hewitt suggests schools ban trench coats after Texas shooting

Jacqueline Thomsen 2 hrs ago

MSNBC host and conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Monday suggested that schools ban trench coats days after a gunman reportedly wearing a trench coat opened fire at a Santa Fe, Texas, high school.

Hewitt, speaking on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" on Salem Radio Network on Monday in a clip posted by Media Matters, noted that the suspected shooter allegedly did not use an assault-style rifle. He instead used a shotgun and a .38 revolver belonging to his father, according to authorities.

Hewitt said that measures like universal background checks and a ban on assault-style weapons - as he said Democrats often call for in the wake of mass shooting - likely would not have prevented the Texas shooting.

"Point being, this is about identifying and segregating individuals away from guns who are not in the position to own them with due process protection," Hewitt said.

He said that local officials and politicians should take steps to identify those individuals.

"To the teachers and administrators out there, the trench coat is kind of a giveaway. You might just say no more trench coats. The creepy people, make a list, check it twice," Hewitt said.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

School gun violence SOLVED! No need for parents to parent nor schools to pay attention.

Why? The problem is ignoring the kid in the trench coat. I’d rather them wear their uniforms than hide in plain sight.

Also to be banned: umbrellas, parkas, backpacks...

Is there anyone left who still doesn’t realise this metrosexual poser has been a Bush Family globalist plant all along?

Common denominator. Schools. Ban schools.

That Florida school has clear back packs. How about clear outer ware. Make HS interesting again.

If you ban clothing choices won’t that make the children angry?

Amazingly there are some who haven’t figured out that Hewitt is a Bush League Republican propagandist.
Hell bent on making the USA into North Mexico just like the rest of them.

Harden all school starting with high schools. Ban all guns in movies, tv and video games. Ban Ritalin and other mind altering drugs given to young boys.

They can ban everything under the sun, but it will still happen. What needs to be done is find out why kids are choosing to shoot down their classmates as an answer to their issues.

Is that like a Christian atheist?

What I haven't yet read is about the shooter being medicated. That is one common thread across all these stories. Has anyone heard anything on that front?

It appears his parents aren't together anymore. If so then this is another "victory" for the destruction of the family crowd.

It’s not the trench coats that bother me. It’s the Antifa buttons on said trench coat. And what can you do about that?

Ban their freedom of speech?

Soon trench coats will have to be registered. So will pressure cookers.

It would be much more effective to ban GUNS from schools.

They should go back to separate schools for boys and girls. All students should wear uniforms. No social media until graduation. And stop with the Ritilin BS! I doubt five kids out of a hundred that take it needs it.
