It’s a lame excuse anyway. The guy was determined to kill a bunch of kids, he could’ve just waited until recess. The cowardly cops waited outside while kids bled to death and it’s because the teacher left the door open? What a bunch of shit

Could have gone through a window.

Blaming the teachers is typical right wing distraction bullshit.

My best guess is over lunchtime the door was open for kids going out to recess after lunch

Or to lunch after recess

I would guess the killer knew the drill

No one was there to stop him.

It made no difference and is just a distraction.

I wonder if people realize how ridiculous this blame game is.

The fault is with greedy corporations, corrupt politicians and apathetic citizens.

Even in elementary schools, students are constantly going between classrooms and buildings. To recess, to assemblies, to lunch, to PE, to music class, to art class, to the computer lab, to the nurse, to the office,...

In middle and high school, students change classes every hour.

There are parents showing up all day.

A building is rarely closed very long.

The only people who say these things, have never spent more than 15 minutes at a school. But if you ever have listened to a conservative rant about schools, you already know this.

Let us never forget that an 18-year old was able to legally buy two AR-15’s when he cannot legally buy a can of Budweiser.

End of story.
