5. This makes me so fucking angry!

Why do we have to deal with this??? Such a tragedy! RIP. Sometimes I hope there is a heaven and hell.

I know shootings occur in many venues, but I have to say that I’m glad my daughter got out of teaching.

Dang, but this makes me sick.

The job of the sheepdog is to protect the flock. Mr Marburger gave his life to protect his students. May his memory be a blessing to his family and his students.
