Topic: Thoughts on the No Notoriety movement for mass shooters

The government that so many want to "fix" this problem FAILED  the students at 3 different levels,  local, state, and federal. As for me I can't see how surrendering a constitutional right to the 3 stooges will ever end well. There is  no magic law that will fix these kind of tragedies especially by just going at it from one direction  (gun control ). What the approach has been and continues to be is the equivalent of trying to loosen a bolt on your bike that has a nut on the other end, as soon as it breaks loose and starts to spin the solution is to spin the wrench faster, and not deal with the other side of the issue.

My wife works for the school district, the ONLY correction they can administer is send a kid to the office. Pretty freaking sad.

Yea investing some extra resources at "the office" point could help in some cases at least in the vengeance ones.

Don’t get Charlie started, Fuzzie!

And besides, I don’t want religion in the mix here.

No problem Dave, Fuzzle is cool. Besides, I like cheeseburgers!

Theological discussions almost never end well. This isn't that, imo.

having people do their jobs would help.
Virginia Tech - counselors fumbled the ball
Columbine - their parents fumbled the ball
The Florida shooting - the ON DUTY officer fumbled the ball

Every single one of these could have been prevented if the people around them took the time to actually care and/or notice.  I really like to believe I would have, but something tells me that I wouldn't have done any better.

I see that Donald J is still banging on about arming teachers, that tells me that he's got no idea how to solve this problem. Maybe the US government could provide all US citizens with bullet proof vests and helmets? If mass shooters realised that their bullets were only going to bounce off their victims, surely that would be a much greater deterrent than Donald Trump trying to turn school teachers into Dirty Harry's and Harriet's?

No politics allowed - or aloud, for that matter.

Hang on a minute, if Charlie can bang on about God, then I demand the right to bang on about Big Chief Yellow Face!

Yeah Bill, no idea why Malcolm is over in the US at the moment, our deputy Prime Minister had to quit due to the backlash from him banging one of his female staffers and getting her pregnant, so I'm not sure who's running the country in big Mal's absence, but I'm sure he's solving all of America's problems and not just wasting more taxpayers money..........
