Four California High School Students Arrested for Alleged Mass Shooting Plot

Four students at Summerville High School in Tuolumne, California, were arrested for allegedly plotting a school shooting, the Tuolumne County Sheriff said in a press conference on Saturday.

Sheriff Jim Mele claimed that the students involved were planning to "come on campus, and shoot and kill as many people as possible at the campus."

The Summerville High School administration contacted the sheriff's office on Wednesday to report three of the students, who were identified by classmates who found their behavior suspicious. The authorities immediately launched an investigation, which involved interviews with the suspects, as well as school staff and students, and two search warrants. During the investigation the sheriff's office says that they discovered that a fourth student was involved, Mele said on Saturday.

All four students' families were cooperative during the investigation, and the suspects were subsequently turned over to the Tuolumne County Probation Department after arrest on Friday, according to Mele.

Summerville Union High School District Superintendent Robert Griffith said that "within a very short period of time [the school district] knew they didn't have an immediate threat to safety," which is why the school didn't go into lockdown. He added that "about 1,000" phone messages were sent to parents on Thursday relaying information about the incident.

The hippie generation ( late 60s) attended government schools that dished out lukewarm and generic Protestantism.

What is needed is complete privatization of all K-12 schooling.

1978, when Jimmy Carter started the Dept. of Education and took control away from local and state governments.

Liberals have so entrenched themselves into education that educating children has become secondary to political indoctrination through propaganda. Liberals want to rule with a totalitarian iron fist just like they do in every dictatorship in the world.

I have no idea. I don’t think any identifying information has been released.

Schools are institutions created by, administered, attended by, and completely screwed up by.....people.

Dept. of Ed. combined with a century of students being indoctrinated by Fabian socialists that there is no God, that they are nothing more than wild monkeys barely tamed, teaching them to hate their country, to hate the class divides, and that they should and ought to express that rage freely (even violently).

Pop culture then gives them ultra-realistic violent video games to teach them strategy and to get them accustomed to shooting people without remorse. When possible, you put as many boys on psychotropic medication (SSRIs) as possible. You also get them all using social media so that massive numbers of young people feel they are nothing if they are not famous, if they don’t have 1000 “friends,” and are not the life of every party within a 100-mile radius.

Gee, if you wanted to plan out a way to destroy a country from within, it’d be hard to think of a better approach.

The unofficial but nonetheless effective civil religion in the USA is now nihilism. It is never said so directly, but kids pick it up. They have been told all their lives by their teachers and the courts and the media and the entertainment industry that science is the ultimate arbiter of everything, that all life ends in meaningless death, and that science has no room for values. This is rarely said explicitly, but they pick it up.

“Most of these mass shooters are on ADHD medication which alters brain function and is often quite harmful to the centers of the brain that control judgement. Psyco-tropic drugs are typically at the heart of these types of acts in our schools.”

Bingo. See this.

In this situation you know the students probably aren't white because:

had they been:

1. Obama would already be on TV talking about gun control and troubled "white youths" gettin access to their redneck father's guns. The usual suckups would also be catching camera time and demanding that we need gun control
2. The MSM would be showing pics of the students all over the news and trying to tie the shooting to somehow being caused byConfederate flags somehow
3. The MSM would be flashing the worst possible pics of the student's parents online like photos of their beat up pickups, their parents with snaggletooth smiles, and anything else that showed them to be redneck hicks that never graduated high school.

I agree. We need a system where parents can choose the type of school where they want their children to attend. Our children have been indoctrinated in the public schools and as they grow up they become administrators but they are like a ship without a rudder. They have no sense of direction. And now they truly are lost.

It's not about guns but respect for human life. In this country there is no respect for human life or dignity. Therefore, people think nothing about taking a human life.

What is wrong with public schools that is making these knuckleheads want to shoot them up.

Evil in the world is continuously promoted and glorified via media, including the Internet while good is mocked. The family relationships that sanctify society are compromised on a massive scale. Those without spiritual defenses are taken captive at will.

Unless it is CNN. In that case they just alter the pics to make them look white :

Wasn’t that Bill Ayers playbook? Infiltrate and destroy from within? I’d say we’re there.

Yes it's the communist plan from way back. Way before Bill Ayers.

Are we going to fight back or are we going to just lay down and take it? Our children are at stake.

BINGO ..!! WE HAVE A WINNER.

I don’t know where to start.
This has been going on for years and years.
It’s one of the main reasons Rush Limbaugh began writing his children’s books - because our children were not being taught the reality of America.
And, they teach some of the most stupid, idiotic stuff.

We MUST get the Teacher’s Unions out of our schools.

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.

One way is to get rid of Teacher’s Unions.
We have horrible teachers in some of our schools, and we are not allowed to get rid of them. It’s the same in all the other government offices. Look at the IRS; all those laws broken .. and nobody’s been fired or put in jail .. and our children are suffering the most .. because they have parents who don’t know what’s going on .. and I guess some of them don’t care.

Just so!

The basis for our civil society is the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments, and when the Judiciary took them (and the morning prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance) out of the classroom, the decline in respect for our fellow Americans began to ratchet up.

IIRC, this behavior was predicted. The LIEberals, of course, said that those of us who believe that teaching school children to respect each other (using the the above mentioned “rituals” as models for civil behavior) were DEAD wrong!

Well, we have sown the seeds of our own destruction.

Our “civil society” is not so civil anymore, and, I predict it will get a lot worse before it gets better.

IF it gets better!
