I am so fucking angry. That jerk clearly gets off threatening people, even kids. We must have more checks and balances, there needs to be a clear path to report behavior like this and get him removed from office. So Rs don't want a drag queen reading a children's book to children, but flashing a gun to children and berating them for having very valid concerns is totally cool. Make it make sense.

What a fucking asshole. He's part of the problem.

Last year he drove drunk, crashed, fled the scene and hid and got a slap on the wrist.

The audacity of him claiming they were too immature to have 'adult conversations and handle adult situations' when they have ability to control anything about school shootings except their opinion on gun control. This is enraging.

He says he was there with facts and they just had feelings. False. He has his right wing theories and those kids had facts. The feelings he heard and saw were from being intimidated by his gun and wild eyed theatrics/he's a crazy man with a gun. I live in a different city than him, but he is seen in my city often. One night last year DH and I were eating dinner at a restaurant downtown and I saw him thru the window walking by and I flipped him off without even thinking about it and DH was so confused about what was happening, it was just a natural response.

I just cannot believe he'd think this is a good idea. "let's step aside while I show you what's under my coat" is never a good start.
