Twitter has the shooter as a young girl. We’ll see if that’s correct.

"World's gone too crazy, I want off."

Which is just the reaction "they" are hoping for.

We went through the entire Trump presidency with a minimal number of "mass shootings", and now, all of a sudden, with Biden pushing major gun control, "mass shootings" have apparently skyrocketed.

Kinda convenient, don't ya think...........??

About time. Biden’s gun-grabbing was being slowed by the schools still being closed. Bummer to see things getting back to normal, since that means the Dems can again advance their agenda.

There certainly seems to be a big spike when dems are in power. I don’t know if there’s any causation, but there really seems to be a correlation.

It is rather odd that all of a sudden we now have multiple mass shootings.

Austin-East Magnet School demographics and statistics.

Not likely a place where academic recruiters from the top ten colleges and universities come to visit.

Kids being stuck at home for a year hasn’t helped their mental states.

What does a constitutional carry bill mean? Do I no longer need my CCW in order to have a pistol in my car or on my person?

This may be of interest:

In February, the school lost three students to gun violence, although, none of the shootings occurred on school property. Two students were 15 and one was 16.

Two teenage boys, aged 14 and 16, were charged in the fatal shooting of Stanley Freeman Jr., a 16-year-old victim, who was shot driving home from work. Both boys also face attempted murder charges in two other, nonfatal shootings.

“There’s no joy today,” Knoxville Police Chief Eve Thomas said in a press conference at the time. “These are children who have been forever changed. Luckily, we’re able to give the family of Stanley Freeman Jr. some closure, some justice. But we have a serious problem in Knoxville, and we need to work together to stop this.”
