Am I reading that correctly? Some random yabo with a gun and a Trump hat shows up at the scene of a school shooting? What the actual fuck is going through that guy's head? Does he think the cops need his help?

I'm just aghast.

Haven't heard how many injuries yet. I live outside of Santa Fe but had numerous emergency vehicles go by with their sirens on. Thought maybe a bad wreck nearby. Heard the life flights also.

Surely they sent enough to prevent future shootings, right? It's all that is needed.

The school resource officer in Dixon IL stopped the shooter, wounding him. No one else was hurt.

I guess the thoughts and prayers had to go somewhere. Damn.

Students report fire drill, then shots 5 minutes later

I think this mimics another school shooting, pulling the fire alarm?

Seems to be conflicting reports on who pulled it.

Either way, flooding the hallways with kids seems like a recipe for disaster in these situations.

They love when this shit happens. Gun sales go up, and they can go on record as saying it was all 'crisis actors'.

A lot of very bad people get richer every time this happens.

Expect the same debate we have had the last two months to fucking happen again. Expect sales of AR15s and AK47s to go through the roof. Expect that zero legislation will be passed to make it safer and things will only get worse. Expect that the NRA will be up to its' usual bag of tricks including fearmongering and scare mongering. We really are the crazy country.

Gov. Abbott and Ted Cruz got from the NRA. Their hands are just as bloody as all the others including trump. The solution , vote them out of office.
