Face it, government could have done numerous things to help, they did none of them. The school board and management should actually be charged with aiding and abetting. They ask the police to stand down on crime so they could receive more money.

The Democrats are okay with school shootings, especially when they can leverage them to their political advantage.

School shootings are the #1 platform for the media/Dems to use to promote gun control. Which is why they are against arming teachers and security guards as that would prevent shootings.

Just goes to show that not everyone has a terminal case of recto-cranial inversion.

There were not a bunch of school shootings when the mental health hospitals were still operating.

Guess what, oligarchy Lefties? Trump is going to win again. We are cowed in public from your propaganda and scared of your power over us. And the more you wield it heavily, the more we quietly fight the F back. And it is working for us.
