RUSH: This from TheHill.com, it was breaking news an hour ago, I’ve been sitting on it here, ’cause I just made a judgment. Here’s the headline: “Teacher in Custody After Georgia Police Respond to Report of Shots Fired — A teacher was arrested after police responded to reports of shots fired at a high school in Georgia. The Dalton Police Department tweeted at about 12:30 p.m. that a subject, believed to be a teacher, was barricaded in a classroom at Dalton High School. No children were hurt or in danger, police said.”
Wait. Update: The teacher is in custody. Dalton, by the way, is located in northwest Georgia. It’s near the Tennessee-Georgia border. All right. So we have a teacher barricaded in a classroom with no students. No children. No students anywhere around. And starts firing some shots. Barricaded in the classroom. And then here comes some cops and nab ’em. The guy is in custody and we got a breaking new stories: “Teacher in Custody After Georgia Police Respond to Report of Shots Fired.”
What are you thinking? When you heard me say this, folks, what were you thinking? What was running through your mind when you heard this? Come on. Be honest. Oh, of course this will be the argument we use for not arming teachers, but what if the whole thing’s a setup to create that very — what if the teacher is a radical leftist and does this to give the Drive-Bys a news story that they can then point to. “See, we can’t arm teachers.”
Now, some of you might be thinking, “Mr. Limbaugh, that is a very, very horrible thing to think. How could your mind go that way?” Well, you may have a point, but I’m sorry. Who are we dealing with here? We’re dealing with exactly these kind of people who engage in fake everything that they try to make look real. Nope. I’m not claiming that’s what this was. But I will say that if it turned out to be that, I wouldn’t be surprised.
No, I’m not predicting that’s what it was. Not accusing anybody of anything. I’m just telling you, the leftists have made me consider such things as possibilities when they happen.
Freepers nailed this hours ago....
If this means teachers shouldn’t be armed, then a bad cop shoot means cops shouldn’t be armed.
It means that bad people have no trouble getting guns into no-gun zones.
It means that we’d d@mn well better make sure SOME good people are armed there.
If a teacher can’t be trusted with a gun they damn well can’t be trusted with our children.
This case of a teacher using a weapon inappropriately would only support the other side’s argument if this Georgia school system was one which had a teacher-carry program AND this particular teacher was a trained participant in that program.
A troubled or angry teacher can bring a firearm to school for mischief just as any other person can bring a firearm to school for mischief.
How old was this teacher? Over 21? Raise the gun-buying age to HIGHER than this teacher’s age, then! Ha-ha!
So saw something that indicated that this teacher did this because of his frustration that “Nothing was being” done about the Parkland shooting.
Well we can now give him his wish about something being done by making sure that this guy never teaches again. Along with other criminal punishments.
Exactly. Charge and convict him of a felony.
Then, he’ll never be able to own a gun again.
Oh, wait...
Here is more information on the incident: Dalton police say Jesse Randal Davidson, 53, a social studies teacher and a play-by-play football announcer at the school, fired the shot. During his planning period around 11 a.m., police said Davidson locked himself in the classroom.
“When the principal put a key in the door to try to unlock the classroom, Mr. Davidson apparently fired a shot from a handgun to an exterior window of the classroom. It doesn’t appear it was aimed at anybody,” Bruce Frazier, with the Dalton Police Department, said.
Police said the gunshot didn’t injure anyone but the school was placed on a code red lockdown.

These are the kind of teachers who are setting the example to students if someone can’t get their own way, regardless of how others feel, then it’s ok to act out in a violent manner to reinforce their one-sided view.
