I take it you're not familiar with the conviction of both parents of the Oxford, MI shooter. 

TL/DR: Parents are dumb in general, but these trumpbot gun nut parents are even dumber.

Just always astounded by it.

I heard that too but wondering why they did not have a behavior plan in this kids school records? 

Because the parents have to request, meet, and comply with the school in order to get a plan in place? The school is already overburdened? It sounds like the dad put it in his own hands, some old-fashioned man-it-up discipline would solve him.

 Poncho: Not a thing. Not a Fing trace. No blood, no bodies... We hit nothing!

Mac: I know one thing, Major. I drew down and fired straight at it. Capped off two hundred rounds in the minigun, full pack. Nothing... nothing on this earth could have lived. Not at that range.

In an ideal world, formalized school accomodations/resources for kids academically or behaviorally (eg 504 /IEP) should he reviewed and formalized before the school year to ensure a smooth transition of services from one school to another. 

The barriers are rough though. They're lengthy evaluations so reviewing a lot of them is really tough.  They require buy in/engagement from the previous teacher, the new teacher, and parent(s).  They need everyone to be organized enough to actually get the records over to the new school. And technically only public schools have a legal obligation to provide/follow these accomodations whereas private/charter/religious schools often give way less support for a number of reasons. 

So long story short I'm not really surprised if a behavioral plan wasn't implemented. Nor am I confident a behavioral plan would have done much here unfortunately.

So he's a gay guy who hates trans people so he shot a bunch of people who are neither gay nor trans? Do I have that right?

At least we can all agree that high school kids would never call another kid "gay" without firm proof that it is in fact true.

CVON Shtlibs - hE's a reDNecK

I was legitimately confused by "discussed his frustration with the "acceptance of trans people." That would mean he's frustrated that trans people are accepted. Could just be poor sentence structure. Dude has a cybertruck as his profile pic, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say he isn't too bright. 

the kid grew up on a farm in georgia with a gun nut father....he's an obvious sheetlib! 

Is he gay and a tranny sympathizer, or are these just more of the latest right wing fantasies?

 

edit: Oh, his dad. Seems like a stellar source of trustworthy info. Almost as good as the kid's mom.

No, it sounds like he was either gay or weird enough to where a bunch of macho rednecks bullied him enough about it that he snapped. 

The kid fits the profile of a school shooter to a t. 

"Approximately 88% of school shooters had at least one social media account, and 76% posted disturbing content of guns and threatening messages. Over 72% of shooters had at least one reported adverse childhood experience, and 60% reported being bullied in-person or online "

So were you always illiterate or did that develop slowly over time due to whatever amount of alcohol or drugs you've consumed over the years?

The account referenced Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, and in separate posts shared a desire to target an elementary school and expressed frustration that transgender people were being accepted in society.

I've met his mom.  Trust me, it could've all happened in utero.

So dude was like the Trumpers here, obsessed with Trannies, spent every waking second thinking about tranny 🐔 (like KZ does) until he finally snapped.

Yep. And I recall some years ago there was a gun thread where many of them posted pics of their gun collections. Kinda seems to fit the profile.

where did you get the chicken?

You have to first accept reality. Shootings will happen, as long as there are guns, and idiots willing to kill others to prove a point, or for fun, or as an experiment, whatever.

The stupid assertions about armed teachers, and guards in schools, is a crock. Putting more guns in schools will not reduce shootings. How do I know this?

We can't stop shootings at campaign events where there were teams of good guys with guns, and all the latest equipment.

All of the common sense stuff, talked about for years, can lower the number of shootings. Universal background checks. Requiring a license. A sensible red flag law.

These would work, and a majority of people support them, I believe.

 

 

The suspect in the I-75 shooting in Laurel County, KY is 32yr old Joseph A. Couch who reportedly purchased an AR-15 this morning along with 2,000 rounds of ammunition. He was on bail for making terrorists threats.

We certainly don’t need another DC sniper.  Always wondered why terrorist never adopted this type of attack.
