RE: Reality Check on Protecting our Schools from Active Shooters!
You are absolutely correct, the focus right now from the Media and the left is to politicize the tragedy. The anti gun rhetoric is loud from the do nothing politicians and media. They have hit a new low by using kids to do their bidding.
Solutions to protect our kids is what needs to be discussed! Period. Crazies are out there. The very government that the lefties want to confiscate our guns, are the very same officials that have time after time, incident after I incident failed to identify the issue when it was glaring in front of them and failed to protect our children.
The system is broken, obviously. In each incident there were warning signs that the officials chose to ignore. At leaat part of the fault lies squarely at their feet the other part is the killers. These sick individuals took it upon themselves to massacre.
Mental illness can be claimed. However, what of the rampant bullying that goes on unchecked. Bullying has taken on a completely new meaning with social media platforms. Combine this with the absurdly high levels of pharmaceuticals that are prescribed to kids. Something is for sure broken in society that has nothing to do with an inanimate firearm.
He did mention the social media implications and how they affect like 30% of kids. Kids put themselves out there on Facebook and then are ridiculed by other kids. This lowers their self-esteem and the cycle can continue without intervention. One thing I didn't mention was that not a single kid who was intervened upon has ever ended up doing a school shooting. Also over 600 kids have been intervened upon since February 14th. They are actually going to press charges on the kid in Washington for attempted murder. I am referring to the one that had detailed plans and black powder and guns.
