Had ONE job ? To protect the children against a shooter. He ran, like the coward that he is. He made up all manner of excuses. Right now, he's trying to get a trial in FL to clear his name and reputation. Nice try Scot. YOU BLEW IT. And now 17 people are dead, many of them my niece's dear friends. She was there that day. She still has nightmares. SO, FUCK YOU. , live with your what you did.
Also, has Nikki ever heard of Uvalde ?
Before any of these politicians EVER speak of guns in schools, they should be forced to view the full color photos of the aftermath of a school massacre. Of what was left of the bodies. Of the children, whose faces were targeted and blown off (Then talk to the parents who could not identify their own children but had to rely on DNA.). Of the blood spatter, of the brains on the walls, of the dripping of human tissue from the ceilings.
Everytime I hear one of these political whores for the NRA talk about more guns in schools I want to puke.
Sorry.

(17,757 posts)4. Well, folks, you all do know that the Constitution grants the rights of the children to go armed to
school. 2A didn't specify the age of "the people" nor does it restrict guns in schools! First graders should learn the ABCs of safe gun handling. We should make sure that PE classes have shooting ranges, after all, which is more important for preserving and keeping America great again, basket ball or handguns? The extra benefit is the kids could deal with woke teachers right in the classroom.
Nikki Haley is a fucking idiot.
