Are you on my list serve? We had the same thing. Apparently armed veterans are the answer.
My question is always 1) Who is going to pay to background check all those armed veterans, and 2) who is going to pay their salary?
In our case, they said they have "plenty of law enforcement officers" who would volunteer and would do it for free AND because they're current and past LEO they don't need to do any additional background/training. We literally had an off-duty officer arrested in our neighborhood twoish weeks ago for domestic violence. Like no big deal, all problems solved, law enforcement officers are flawless (and I come from a LEO family).
Oh I saw the solution of stationing National Guard at every school since they’re already being paid.
Now...I recall a mass shooting on a military base just a few years ago....so forgive me if I’m not convinced one armed service member or vet is going to stop a school shooting.
That brings up an interesting point, though. Military bases have military police officers. They don't have literally every person on base packing heat, which is usually the NRA's solution to everything. When you're deployed to an active zone I'm sure you have weapons on you most/all of the time, but the fucking national guard isn't a glorified security detail.
Not even all the entry guards have guns. Locations are different, and they change it up even at same location. Maps carry, but they may not be guards. This whole treat schools like a military base is asinine. Also, remember ft hood and I think Iraq. Both had shooters on base with mass casualties.
What happens when a teacher wants to kill students?
We used to steal our teachers cigs (2nd grade so it was to throw them away). Could a student do this with a weapon? A high school football player could easily over power every teacher I've had.
New charge s against Manafort and Rick Gates.bahhhahha
The 32-count indictment is separate and apart from the pending case against the two men in federal court in Washington, D.C. Mueller told the DC court in the filing that the allegations in the indictment did not give rise to venue in DC and that the defendants had declined to waive venue, forcing Mueller to proceed in Virginia.

“Manafort and Gates fraudulently secured more than twenty million dollars in loans by falsely inflating Manafort’s and his company’s income and by failing to disclose existing debt in order to qualify for the loans,” the indictment said.
Their scheme allegedly involved the use of offshore accounts, and included misleading their tax preparers, the indictment said. It alleged that more $75 million flowed through the offshore accounts and that $30 million was laundered by Manafort with assistance from Gates.
——- This is a follow-up to the earlier Mueller indictment. Also Gate is fired his attorney that he hired to do a plea deal, but is also still trying to part ways with his earlier attorneys
I’ll never forget my senior year in high school when a riot broke out in the cafeteria. Now listen, I was valedictorian and president of my class, yet the principal walked past a whole ass, ongoing riot to accuse me of starting it. As I calmly sat and ate my lunch on the other side of the room. At the time it was one of my proudest moments as a student who liked to cut up and frequently was at the center of school shenanigans, but now I realize just how messed up his reaction was. This is what black children face even with unarmed teachers. By the way, the whole riot started because some trashy white boy called a black boy a racial slur, but the tiny black girl was clearly at fault and a threat to school safety.
Thanks for this article because I honestly didn't know people were currently volunteering and allowed to do this.
I still maintain my point that the hyperbole is unnecessary when upthread it was mentioned multiple times if they FORCED teachers to carry, they'd quit. It's such a privileged and embarrassing statement as I akin it to an "I'll move to Canada if so-and-so happens."
All I'm asking is for a little reality and to not jump to plan Z.
I think you're fucking embarrassing posting your shitty gifs acting like you know shit when you dont. All I'm asking for is for my first grader to be safe at school. Asshat
With President Donald Trump tweeting last September that a White House invitation for the Golden State Warriors was "withdrawn," the reigning NBA champs have decided to go on a private tour of an undisclosed locale on Feb. 27 in their lone visit to the nation's capital, league sources told ESPN.
Head coach Steve Kerr left it up to the players to determine how they wanted to spend their time, and the players selected a venue in which local kids would join them. It will be closed off to the media, sources said.
The players wanted the outing to be a personal, intimate experience.
The head of a federal commission who has helped U.S. states protect election systems from possible cyber attacks by Russia or others is being replaced at the behest of Republican House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and the White House.
Matthew Masterson, a member of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission who currently serves as its chairman, has been passed over for a second four-year term as one of the agency's four commissioners.
"The appointment expired in December and we are going in a different direction for our nomination. We nominate people for a variety of positions and generally speaking choose our own folks," AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for Ryan, said by email on Thursday.
Strong rejected the notion that Masterson was being removed or shoved aside, characterizing the change as routine.
