The lockdown is destroying this country.

That is the end goal of ALL their efforts.

Their latest installation of harris Biteme is just another step.

Covid lockdowns serve a purpose, which is to bring economy to a standstill.

they are surprised and dismayed that the country is really that strong and has bounced back to their earlier efforts.

Where were his parents, you ask. Perhaps they were ( or she was) working and the sister was at home being in charge. The entire situation of keeping children out of school for almost a year is an outrage.

I despise the left and their dishonest euphemisms for so many things, one of which is “social distancing”. It should be called “anti-social distancing”. There is nothing social about avoiding other people, especially wearing a mask outside when walking around so one cannot even see another person’s smile.

Democrats are conditioning people to kneel and obey their forthcoming diktats...if Biden carries the day God forbid.

But it sounds as if he turned the camera and microphone off when he shot himself.

I can’t help but wonder how the press would scramble to avoid covering this at all if he had made some sort of speech to the class and did it on camera.

Sooner or later one of these kids is going to do just that.

As it is, the fact that this boy killed himself and this had to be announced to his classmates raises the risk of one of them attempting suicide, as suicides sometimes appear in clusters in peer groups.

And the school counselors will have to deliver baseless platitudes about how life is going to get better. And the kids will think them spineless idiots because the kids know better that it isn’t going to get better. And the Karens who are their mothers will go on being Karens. And the dads married to these Karens will go on being wusses instead of telling their Karen wives to stick it and taking their kids with them to a lockdown protest so that the kids can see that there are still some good people left in this world.

I have seen and heard what I guess I’d call a dimming in many people in my circle of acquaintances. I notice a sort of hopelessness among them with social activities gone. I am an introvert, so I have had no issues, but I know there are people who need to be around other people and this is awful for them.

And these are adults. I can’t imagine kids and teenagers dealing with this upheaval. When I was that age the smallest thing was a major crisis.

It’s not just book edumacation kids are losing out on via remote learning. It’s many, many coping skills, derived from countless interactions with others, random people, friends, non-friends. Including having to put up with various forms of adversity, large and small.

This is what you get when you sentence the whole population of HEALTHY people to prison for no crime.

Many of them cannot cope and have no method to escape other than death.

I predicted this very thing the FIRST day they announced the shutdown. Also domestic violence is soaring and will not be known how high till many months AFTER the shutdown, as the government has now sentenced them to prison with their abuser with no escape.

The Freeper Karens should be ashamed of themselves but, like Democrats, they won’t be or admit this shutdown and masks was a colosal mistake from DAY ONE!

His microphone and camera were turned off so the other kids never saw it happen

I’m a woman who lives alone and have a loaded firearm with me at all times. BUT...when grand kids (4 & 6 yrs old) are here everything is locked in the gun safe. Kids are curious enough, but when depressed and old enough to know what a gun is for (with access) that’s bad stuff.

“They would rather virtue signal and fell good about themselves instead of seeing how this destroying kids and people.”

I can vouch for that. Infuriating is an understatement.

It is the ultimate in selfishness and arrogance I think.

And evil.

Biden warned of a dark winter. He has openly said that he is for a 4-6 week national shutdown and national mask mandate. All destructive to our economy. And who benefits? Biden’s boss, the CCP.

Everything "they" do benefits them, not the US citizen.

They don't govern, they grift.

Want to save this country?

We need to start curb stomping the Krazy Kommie Karens

They are destroying this country, almost as bad as the news media (they need a curb stomping as well)

Well said.

That is how it was done a century ago with smallpox, typhoid fever, etc.

And in the forties with polio.

It is insane to make prisoners of healthy, productive people.

That is so true.

Adolescent boys run with the pack.

Girls are usually content to have one best friend.
