If the GOP can allow school children to become collateral damage in their deference to gun lobbyists, I can stomach this restaurant taking a few hits from the other side.
The question is, if you had the slightest concern that something was "off" about your kids, and he was capable of using a gun to hurt someone, would you remove the guns from your house? Would you give up those guns to possibly protect other people? Well, the fact is, we have a lot of people that are "off", and we have a lot of people that are refusing to take away their access to guns.
Only the sickest addle-brained gun sycophant would seek to place the blame on the teacher opening a door as a reason for this tragedy... It will now be the right-wing talking point. It will replace mental health because that would allow them to ignore mental illness and blame a dead woman.
Part of problem is that yesterday was the last day of school. Hard for kids to organize this kind of thing in 2 days. May see some sparks at graduations, or in graduation speeches, but it looks like some districts are nipping that in the bud. https://lakehighlands.advocatemag.com/2022/05/27/risd-moves-to-pre-record-graduation-speeches/
I'm a middle school teacher. Every year I have about 2 or 3 students that are immature at a level that makes reasoning with them useless. I address their misbehavior, I try to explain what they're doing, and why it's a problem, but ultimately you get to a point where it's wasted time and wasted words. They don't get it because they don't want to get it, and it's best to assign the consequence and move on. That's what I see here... except she's a grown woman... and a congresswoman.... that's on the same maturity level as the most immature 1% of 8th graders.
You should write a letter thanking the Uvalde parents for trading their children's lives for your guns that will never kill people. That's the trade, right? You get guns, they were made less safe, and they paid the price. I'm sure your comforting words would give them great solace.
They were trained to do this before Sandy Hook. The fact is, there has been zero positive change since Sandy Hook, only policies that have made the problem worse.
In the past 6 months we've replaced the hot water heater, ac unit, refrigerator, oven, and put in new floors. The longest we waited for any of those items was 10 days. I guess I'm just lucky.
I don't know if this is another one of the sock accounts, I'm not making any such accusation. But I am saying that the only thing more pathetic than a grown-ass man being crowdsourced and burning through troll accounts is a grown-ass man creating yet another iteration and vehemently denying it.
I know what the point of this post is meant to be a joke (one I fully support), but it really strikes home that AOC probably made sure to never put herself in that position. I'm sure nudes have been requested (I just assume every woman has had them requested at some point in her life). I'm sure some partner has suggested a tape be made... but it probably didn't happen. Why? Because she's had her eyes set on bigger things. She's knows a sex tape or leaked nudes would hurt her credibility. So she doesn't misstep.... because she can't. She had to be above that. And then there's this dumbass. Acting like a dumbass, and he gets to have the same exact position she does. It's a double standard in so many ways and it's utter bullshit.
