A school shooting in Oregon? Preposterous. Oregon is the land of rainbows, unicorns, and fairies.

Since further mayhem was foiled by an armed civilian this one will go down the memory hole.

Great, now we have VIGILANTIES shooting and KILLING people before they’ve even had a chance to make their case, in their defense. Even STRONGER case for gun control.

(above is the thinking of the people you Purists empower when you sit out elections because the Republican isn’t ‘perfect’ enough for you)

Sorry, don’t mean to imply you’re a ‘Purist’.

We still don't know if rainbows and/or fairies played a roll in this story.

I look forward to The Presidential Medal of Freedom hung around his neck by President Trump. He engaged a man with a long gun but only with his pistol, bad odds for the good guy. I suspect the bad guy did not see him coming, least the good guy would have lost. Thank you brave sir. Tragically some lives were lost. If not for your actions, it could have been many more.

Someone had to take action. The school cops always do nothing.

Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Steve Cook said at the press conference, “I don’t have any words for what this community is feeling right now. I don’t think anybody does. We are heartbroken, we are horrified. Please hold your children, hold your loved ones tight tonight. Let them talk, let them cry. Let them know we are going to rally and care for one another in this community.”

Superintendent Cook has made such a comforting statement in like of the fact they have established all schools as psychopath hunting preserves according to the following policy.

Bend-La Pine Schools in Deschutes County, Oregon, has a zero tolerance policy for firearms on all school grounds and in district sponsored activities, prohibiting anyone — including those legally permitted to carry — from bringing, possessing, concealing, or using a weapon or firearm.

If the author did indeed write that, I would have the author of the article caned. I am simply beyond negotiation any more on all of this. No more.

Very good point. Those who fail to vote are extremely guilty as well.

This isn’t an opinion piece. The author was correctly pointing out that the school district had banned all people from carrying guns on their properties. That is an important part of the story in order to show how dumb liberals are.

So, was the kid a tranny? Or someone that his teachers convinced was the opposite sex of reality, that hadn’t taken that final step into ‘transitioning’??
