Active Shooter Killed At Nashville School

[Weezer]

It may have been ugly(probably unavoidable) but he got us out of someplace we should have never been. One of the only things the guy did right.

Plans were in place to withdraw troops before he took office. I agree we shouldn't have been there as long as we were, not that we should never have been there. Should have left once OBL was killed IMO. Wasn't our place to nation build either. But who pulls out the security BEFORE evacuating everyone else?

 

[luthervol]

Why would he? I must've missed where he shot someone.

I must've missed where anyone accused him of shooting someone.

It's just that the exercising of your right makes it more probable that others will be harmed. But hey, "don't tread on me."

Just give the government all your weapons. That's been a KILLER success in our historical references. Aren't you a teacher?

 

[Volbucky]

Not sure how that is antagonizing. Thoughts and Prayers are good but the poster is right. We need finite actions that will actually help prevent so many school shootings.

Bad choice of word. Doesn’t change the fact nobody looks at things exactly like you and until you realize that you should probably just keep your “pet peeve” to yourself.

 

[utvolpj]

Most do not view them as unrelated........that's the point.

I can do nothing to help simple minded folk. That's likely why the tweet was created and posted. Hit its mark I'd say

That’s precisely what you’re doing, though. I agree, can’t be too sure of anyone’s motives, but in this moment that is all one can do.

You saying it on a board is not doing it. You get that right? Why not just pray. Why must one post it? Because they want attention.

Thank goodness you are always here to personally keep me in check.

So we are on the same page now. He didn't kill anyone therefore why would he be ashamed? Happy we agree.

 

[InVOLuntary]

This. Just do something, anything. If it prevents one shooting, one innocent death it was worth it. Im to the point of f the constitution. People weren't shooting up schools in 1776.

Your libertarian is showing again.

I believe many on here have proposed a rehaul and emphasis on the mental health system.

Too vague. Let's use an example that we know who the shooter was, the Las Vegas massacre. That guy had no documented prior episodes of mental health issues, no arrests and no reports to authorities about him yet something drove him to commit the largest mass shooting in our history. What "rehaul" of our mental health system would have stopped that? We have to go deeper.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Make it like car ownership. Have an insurance policy on each gun.

Never had a car accident in Monroe County, Tennessee have you?

On this we can agree. I think we also must consider how we collectively, as a society, raise children. I'm not familiar with any statistics but it just seems kids, young adults and adults aren't as stable and adjusted members of society as they used to be.

 

[Volbucky]

Maybe I will make them think for a second, if that's antagonizing then the glove fits.

Makes zero sense.

“Let me stomp on your heartfelt words so you can look for my point of view” no thanks

 

[Weezer]

I agree with that but its foolish not to admit that the guns are the easiest and preferred method.

So if you take guns from everyone, the nutjobs just move on to the next easiest method. Meanwhile, the non-nutjobs pay the price and people still die.

I think you missed a post up there.

Say what??? How in the world does a law-abiding citizen legally purchasing and safely possessing firearms "make it more probable that others will be harmed?"

 

[Volbucky]

Don’t throw rocks when you live in a glass house. You are CONSTANTLY letting everyone know how righteous you are.

 

[luthervol]

What needs to be done is figure out what drives people to commit these acts and fix that. Nothing you or anyone else have put forth as a solution will do anything to stop mass killings.

I'll give you a really good starting point. America has far more of these acts than anywhere else, which would lead most to conclude.......................

Well, you know. The continuum

But...why aren't you saying this to folks that want to give "thoughts and prayers" I mean even as a faith believer myself it's the same thing.

You stole my motto.....but I keep on trying.

That we have a people problem.

I understand the mental health stuff,but what I dont understand why would a grown adult shoot small children or any child take it out on the one your upset with not innocent bystanders

Peel back the layers. Dig deep.
