“Kinda convenient, don’t ya think...........??”

They know we know. Check out the detective shows on TV. Total push 24/7. It’s the same formulaic crap I’ve been hearing for 30 years. Over and over and over.

School shooters are generally motivate by hate.

DemonRATs preach a mix of hate and hopelessness that does trickle down.

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...........??

EXACTLY.

And they get away with their atrocities because the MSM are their willing accomplices.

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

Pent-up demand?

Lot’s of shootings there in that specific area as of late. I’m betting Gang related and by that I mean organized gangs with out of town sponsors and hierarchy. Time for KPD to do what a former school superintendent did back in the 1970’s try to head off drug issues. She had undercover cops amongst the students. Knox County and City school system now consolidated used to have some decent leadership such as Doyle and Hoffmiester. Knoxville the past decade or more has had Dem mayors thus a DEM ran police dept.

In 1968 East High School (white) and Austin High School (black) integrated into Austin-East High school in East Knoxville. The neighborhood where A-E High School is located is about 85-90% black...

In that neighborhood in the past year shootings have increased. By neighborhood I mean focused within a few blocks of the school. There have also been non school involved shootings/killings there.

Yes Austin and East were once different schools. But Knox County and Knoxville merged systems in the 80's IIRC and began a huge consolidation movement placing rival schools together in a campus too large to effectively control.

If you are a local my dad dad grew up in Lonsdale, Mechanicsville, and Lincoln Park. People got along. The mayor of Knoxville needs to put down the Liberal Kool aide cup and allow KPD to set up anti gang units along with an in school undercover program like Mildred Doyle did in county schools decades before.

“Maybe retaliation for the shooting at the school..gang bangers gonna do what they do...”

Yep. It’s likely not his religion or a false flag event or because of Biden’s idiocy. It’s thugs being thugs.
