"Usually this happens at...white schools..."
Holy crap! Imagine if...white was replaced with...ANYTHING else!
What a tragedy!
Prayers going up for all those involved.
He injured twelve people in a burst with a pistol?
Why didn't people charge him, or something else? I never get that.
Subdivision 2. Penalty. Any Indian, other than a law enforcement officer who has authority to make arrests, who carries, holds or possesses a handgun in a motor vehicle, snowmobile or boat, or on or about his clothes or person, or otherwise in his possession or control in a public place without first having obtained a permit to carry the handgun from the Red Lake Law Enforcement Program is guilty of a gross misdemeanor, and the handgun involved may be confiscated.
Subdivision 4. Grounds for Denial of Permit. A permit to carry a handgun shall not be granted to the applicant if applicant: a) Is under the age of 18 years.
That said, this will no doubt be used by the anti-gun nuts to further their agenda. With this one and the recent one in WI, this will certainly give them more supporters.
"A teacher pulled the kids down on the ground, under the benches,"
This hide like a bunny thing isn't working. Run away if you can. If the shooter is blocking the exit, better to all run at him and over power him.
and it is hardly on the news at all. Is this because they can't get reporters and cameras to the scene?
Blame the white man. Everybody else does.
The school had metal detectors. The guards were unarmed. The presense of metal detectors presumes the possibility of hostile weapons. Having the guards unarmed simply puts the situation at the complete discretion of the hostile.
Two guards. Unarmed. Had they been armed (and trained and competent) he might have taken one, but not both. Instead many are dead and crippled. What the hell are people thinking? Unarmed security guards involved in weapons interdiction is an exercise in bureaucratic asininity, a public experssion of rhetorical nonsense.
Liberals kill.
These things only seem to happen in gun-free zones.
I grew up in Minnesota and lived near the Souix reservation...I have nothing but honor and respect for the American Indian...my prayers goes out to all effected by this tragedy....life on the "res" can be pretty difficult if not hopeless...
He dressed in black and was a loner. Hellloooooooo!!!
I heard this morning that the kid was a whacked-out goth. Nothing to see here, I guess.
Good God, what the hell is going on with our kids today?
that's it, we have to ban Reservations....they are too dangerous.
