🏳️🌈🖖🏽If armed bank guards can’t stop a killer before he kills, how do they expect armed teachers to?
Tristen Grant@georgetakei I heard they want to arm kids to. 🙄
Elon Musk stick@tristen @georgetakei this happened at a bank. We need to make sure money has a gun
@masterdon I'd rather have a money gun. Shoots endless money.
@tristen think you’ll find the likes of Musk and Bezos already have one
@tristen fun fact: ‘money gun’ is the nickname Trump gave to Vladimir Putin’s penis
@masterdon I choose to believe this.
@tristen well, neither party has denied it. Must be true!
@masterdon Thats fine, I just wish I had one.
@tristen the one gun they won’t let everybody in the USA have
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺Some kids are already armed, like this 6-year-old who shot his teacher:
Teacher shot by 6-year-old student files $40 million lawsuit
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia teacher who was shot and seriously wounded by her 6-year-old student filed a lawsuit Monday seeking $40 million in damages from school officials, accusing them of gross negligence and of ignoring multiple warnings the day of the shooting that the boy was armed and in a “violent mood.”
@johnlogic sure as with the kids that shoot schools. Does this mean all kids should have guns?
@tristen I think that no kids should have guns--at least not without supervision by a responsible adult--and many adults shouldn't either.
Eric the half-a-bee@johnlogic @tristen @georgetakei
That kid should not have been at school. Given his history he should have been forcibly restrained and searched.
Disgusting weakness on the part of school principal and administrators.
@Ericthebeeover2 and the government and police. Probably the healthcare system to.
@Ericthebeeover2 mostly the kids fault though.
The kid has serious mental problems. Plain and simple. He’s just plain dangerous, and at just 6 years old too. He needs drastic intervention now if he’s going to have any chance at all of having a decent life.
We are all so concerned about APPEARING to be caring, inclusive, supportive and affirmative that some of us will take it to extreme and ridiculous lengths, so endangering others.
Such is the case of this school’s principal, admin and “security” staff. Sue them all 😖
@Ericthebeeover2 They aren't blameless, but the kid made the choice.
Norman Kebell@tristen @Ericthebeeover2 some choice, now wheres the gun ffs
@Ericthebeeover2 @tristen all countries have children with serious mental health problems just they don't provide them with easy access to guns. Im beginning to think half of all Americans have serious mental health problems.
@tristen @Ericthebeeover2 not the fault of people who think everybody should have a gun and control America?
@Tormid @johnlogic @tristen @georgetakei
As I remember, from the article, the gun was in a locked box on a top shelf. He still managed to get it.
@Tormid @johnlogic @tristen @georgetakei
My own experience bears this out. When I was 10, in 1961 and living in Auckland, NZ, I called round to join a group of my friends having heard a distinctive “crack crack”.
The little bugger had managed to open the locked cupboard and assemble his father’s rifle. The bolt and the .22 cal LR soft nosed varmint ammo were in separate parts of the house. This didn’t stop him.
Naturally, we all wanted to turn, but he kept it to himself. It turned into a full shooting spree during which time he tried to shoot myself, a friend, and finally managed to shoot a third friend in the thigh.
That friend required a major operation to get all the fragments out and ended up with a 2 foot long scar down his thigh and calf.
The boy was clearly deranged, I don’t know what finally happened to him but his parents left New Zealand and returned with him to Australia. I still have a particular loathing for the .22.
June (derogatory) 🖤🏳️⚧️@georgetakei they’re insane 
grin@georgetakei you seem to imply "logic" somewhere, but I fail to understand on what basis.
digitalbeth.space 🌿@grin @georgetakei skill issue
FrauS@georgetakei
Because teacher can do everything. It's in our blood!
🙈🙈🙈
OMG, no! I guess the most of us became teacher, because we like to talk and deal with living people who want to create and learn instead of destroy.
Zaku@georgetakei and bank robbers are way less violent than mass shooters.
W6KME@georgetakei Disconnect isn't just a way of life for some; it's a High Art.
Hat. AuDHD cat 😷🌺🍉🌻🔻@georgetakei cops are too scared.
@CatHat @georgetakei jesus wept
Nathan Wierink@georgetakei it’s a farce! They just want to sell more fear and guns. They NRA and a lot of republicans don’t care when there is ‘collateral’ damage like dead kids.
Soozcat@georgetakei Reminds me of that old schoolyard song:
Glory, glory hallelujah
Teacher hit me with a Ruger
So I met her at the door
With my trusty .44
And we don't learn no more
Stu Duerson, machina exo deusWe are seeing a Lord of the Flies being re-enacted...with adults playing the roles of the children.
When the metaphor of the metaphor is in actuality the real thing...you've succeeded in writing the perfect Twilight Zone episode.
Logan Five Thousand@georgetakei They’re just going to keep adding to the ridiculousness.
-Oh our teachers need time at the shooting range.
-Oh our teachers should be trained navy seals.
-Oh let’s just put the kids in prisons, that’s a protected space with guards.

Erik Szewczyk 
@georgetakei if only we added armed vigilantes, then the problem would be solved!
JESSICA B@georgetakei awesome point. As usual.
DJ Eternal Darkness@georgetakei Well let's be honestly, kids are smaller.
Still don't understand gun cult-ure

Bathsheba GrossmanThe goal here is to end public education. Private luxury bunkers for the 1%, homeschool or nothing for the plebs.
K. N. Brindle (they/them)@bathsheba This can't be said loudly enough.
- Unrestricted guns leading to school shootings?
- Don't say [ gay | racism | evolution | science ]?
- Banning books?
- School choice vouchers?
- Keeping teachers at lowest-possible pay?
- Don't hire school social workers?
- End free & reduced lunch programs?
- Deny funding for universal head-start and preschool programs?
The goal of all of these positions is absolutely to end public education. Because an uneducated public is a controllable public

Bill Bouts@georgetakei
After a few hours of sending thoughts and prayers and fake public mourning by Republican leaders, the dead and injured will be forgotten and the problem will be solved, until tomorrow’s mass shooting.
Another normal and average day in the USA.
Rob Hooft@georgetakei maybe the solution lies in making bank guards teach the kids?
Silly Simic@georgetakei
Pretty sure that's the point. It's meant to be a reactive measure, not a preventative one.

Elizabeth@georgetakei Let's be real about this. THIS IS WHY they want more guns everywhere including schools. It isn't about safety.
Peter Koopman 🦣@georgetakei
Please, stop with the logic.
Please, stop with the logic.
DavePerrino ✅@georgetakei TBT, they don’t. It’s just a BS GOP talking point.
Daniel Tuttle 🌵🤘@georgetakei Well, clearly we need MOAR GUNZ, that's the real issue here
@georgetakei as someone who had teachers lose their tempers and throw books at kids, I'm terrified for the future
I TRIED TO TELL YOU@georgetakei not even addressing the issue of converting educational facilities into prisons
BenderIsGreat34@georgetakei if the building was made of guns, and they had guard dogs with guns on their heads and customers were shot at before they got to the entrance, then maybe there wouldn’t be a problem. QED
Kevin RussellWhen the police storm a school that has teachers with guns, police gonna kill a lot of teachers.
