I am still fuming over the nonsense spewing from all sides in the recent school shooting incident.
Once more, our political class falls all over themselves in positioning to do nothing.
We send our kids into unsecure, unprotected open shooting galleries and demand useless things when it occurs over and over.
When all of these people were afraid of highjackers killing them, they demanded armed air marshals on planes. They demand their money is protected by armed guards. They want armed police to respond to a threat of violence in their home.
Yet they send their kids to an unsecure building where no one there can respond to an assailant armed with minimal weaponry.
It’s as if the children were expendable to make a political point. Oh wait…
The question to be put to school administrators, who last time I checked were not underpaid in many cases is what are you going to do tomorrow? How about less money on grief counsellors and more and secure access points and stopping kids carrying an AR 15 into school who have no business there?
If the schools were a private business, we would have sued them into oblivion by now if the owners were not locked up for criminal negligence.

It has gotten worse by the day. It now is obvious that the malfeasance is by the government, from the Sheriff’s department, with both their MULTIPLE visits to this kid AND their armed deputy(S it seems now) not entering the school during the shooting. They allowed the guy to continue for 4 minutes while “waiting” outside. COWARDS!
And then there’s the feckless FBI, which can’t seem to do a decent job aside from entrapping people into the horrible felony of “lying to the FBI”. THAT law ought to be stricken from the books!
?And what’s the response – take away OUR rights. As Levin says, “It’s not a Bill of Needs, it’s a Bill of RIGHTS.”
Agreed. The more we learn about all the missed opportunities to produce a different outcome, the worse this incident gets. And viewing the response of 17-year old survivors gives yet another case of regret for the 26th Amendment. The Sheriff, the Police Department, the School District and the FBI all look awful and awfuller. And we got fresh evidence that mass media is the Opposition Party.
