That makes sense. It also is probably why the resource officer was able to be effective.

Rumours that he was specifically targeting the girl, possible fallout from a failed relationship or something. Unsubstantiated, of course.

Gutless Republicans strike again...

Colorado bump stock ban is rejected by Republicans in a party-line vote

Quote:
Republican state senators on Monday afternoon rejected a bill from Democrats that would have banned bump stocks in Colorado.

Senate Bill 51 failed on a 3-2, party-line vote in the Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

The measure would have created a ban on the devices, which can increase a semi-automatic rifle's rate of fire to near what an automatic firearm can discharge. Bump stocks were used by a gunman who killed 58 people and injured hundreds more in October at a country music festival in Las Vegas.

President Donald Trump has called for a federal ban on bump stocks, but Colorado's statehouse Republicans have been opposed to such a move. The Denver City Council banned bump stocks in January through an ordinance.

Cruz’s brother went to MSDHS to supposedly come to terms with what happened there; is charged with trespassing and can no longer contact his brother:

I mean, I get it's weird, insensitive and just creepy. And the stuff he said to his brother is the same.

But a $500,000 bond for essentially trespassing at a school? Punishing him for his brother's deeds. That's not okay.

And now this. 3 students from the school have been arrested, and another deputy assigned to the school is off the job- for sleeping in his patrol car!

3 Stoneman Douglas students arrestedhttps://www.wptv.com/news/state/3-stoneman-douglas-students-arrested-1-made-a-threat-and-2-accused-of-bringing-knives-to-school

Just great.

That’s what I thought as well. Then I read this.

Apparently he’s not much different from his brother. Jeez. Hitting your mother with a baseball bat?



Brother of school shooter shows same 'red flags'



https://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-p...m-beach-county

That being said, their actions seem to be a somewhat zealous overcompensation for the way they screwed up in the brother’s case.

Are the red flags this brother is displaying enough to prevent him from buying a gun?

They searched the house for weapons and he surely won’t be able to get one now!

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School hockey team won the state championship on Feb 26 after the shooting. TSN did a great special on it. Beware the onions wen the 17 players on the team hung their medals on the 17 memorial crosses for the victims.

Why isn't she wearing shoes? Seems like a weird choice, unless I'm missing something.
