"Students appeared to form a prayer circle in the field as they waited to depart."

"One approaching mother began to cry when she saw her young daughter. She ran to her, wrapping her in a tight embrace. Nearby, a boy pressed his mother for details about what had happened. 'Did anyone die, Mom?' he asked. She walked briskly on and responded, 'I don’t know.'"

Still within 72 hours. Look how long it took for us to learn what motivated the Tennessee school shooter. We still don't know about the Butler, PA shooter. Giving this one time.

School shootings are a leading ratings winner. Everybody is entertained by watching.

What does the news claim to know that you don't? It claims to know what is important.

A school shooting involving people that you're never heard of is established as important, for news purposes, ever since Columbine. The prototype of getting people to tune in for weeks.

Greg The Class Traitor म्हणाले...

And last year he threatened to shoot up a school, but apparently that's no big deal.

It's certainly not as bad as praying outside of an abortion clinic! Now THAT is a "crime" worthy of the FBI and DoJ!!!
That's sarcasm, in case you missed it.

RideSpaceMountain म्हणाले...

Protect what is valuable. Harden targets. Schools are still soft targets because the vermin that shoot them up know there's no gunfight coming for at least 5-10 minutes. In almost every case where vermin have been confronted with a gunfight they run or off themselves. They're cowards. It's why they prey on children.

Create the environment where cowards know - not gamble - that they will be confronted with violence almost immediately upon putting their plans in place, and school shooting will stop.

Now about other 'soft targets'...

This county has so many school shootings that the stats are as specific as baseball. Pretty soon they’ll have fantasy leagues….

Europe has so many stabbing that the stats are as specific as soccer. Pretty soon they'll all be muslims...

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

Yet another shooting where the perp was reported months ago for repeatedly saying he was going to "shoot up a school." The FBI and local cops investigated. They knew he had access to weapons. And they did nothing. This is eerily similar to the trans shooter whose manifesto was finally released. Her psychologist wanted to involuntarily commit her but no, the system failed again. Her known threats against Christians and whites (her stated "enemies") were carried out.

Yet today the FBI warns about BS Russian "interference" because a foreign media company uses foreign money to operate. Well, gee, does that rule apply to BBC? Or Al Jazeera too? I'd rather the FBI devote resources to preventing school shootings that to preventing "democracy" by meddling in our elections.

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

Yes exactly.

As Narciso notes far above, this is the same as so many other "known wolves" the FBI allegedly tracked to no effect. My hometown of San Bernardino experienced mass death because of their "hands off" approach to Islamic terror. I remember that day. I was near that venue all the time. The terrorists lived just around the corner from my son-in-law's office. Thank God the local cops stopped the threat when they did, but only after the FBI let many innocent Americans die that day.

Dixcus म्हणाले...

Journalists reporting that Kamala's FBI had the shooter on their "radar" (whatever the fuck that means). Investigated him and his posted online threats to shoot up the school, allowed him to shoot up the school, and only now are admitting it's all their fault this happened.

Kamala Harris seems to attract incompetents.

narciso म्हणाले...

If the bureau were dissolved or consolidated would it make a difference

narciso म्हणाले...

I dont think so as currently formulated

RideSpaceMountain म्हणाले...

No. Every single agent and bureau employee or appointee would find another federally feathered bed with 6 to 12 months. The Bureau would cease to exist but its people would land in other agencies or departments that would then see their mission and their purpose adapt to encompass the Bureau's former mission.

The revolving door is real. There are no consequences. Leviathan might lose a battle but always wins the war. The purpose of the federal government is to serve itself, not the public, and it has been this way for a very very long time.

AGAIN --- FBI knew about this individual. DID NOTHING.

RideSpaceMountain म्हणाले...

Imagine what could've been done with additional SROs and tighter security, nobody accept the gunman may have died. People need to cultivate a more aggressive mindset when it comes to combating this socio-psychological plague. Aggression against children of any kind will be met with the harshest measures and cruelest penalties, including documented threats from individuals like this one.

Enough is enough. Threats will result in your life ending figuratively. Actual commission of the crime will result in your life ending literally, and quickly too.

The Vault Dweller म्हणाले...

This was a horrible event, but I was heartened that the children's instinct was to come together in prayer in the wake of the tragedy, Life gives everyone horrible things to deal with that are absolutely unfair, being able to take solace in God and community improves resilience to these monumentally unfair events.

Skeptical Voter म्हणाले...

Youi want foreign interference in our elections? Just read the codswallop in the Manchester Guardian--which regularly gives a platform to such as Robert Reich with some of his more off the wall ideas. And if you don't like Robert Reich, the Grauniad has plenty more where that came from. But what the heck, Merrick Garland probably has a subscription.

Achilles म्हणाले...

And they all happen in gun free zones.

Maybe you should put some more signs up Rich. Make yourself useful.

It is pretty obvious at this point that the FBI and their patron political party want more of these school shootings to happen.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...

The mother of the shooter has a long rap sheet. - ATL Journal Constitution

Achilles म्हणाले...

Oh look at that. The school shooter made threats to shoot up the school on Discord a year earlier, but claimed his "account was hacked."

Looks like the parents knew exactly what was going on too. And the FBI knew. Obviously the school knew. Everyone knew what was going on.

So the obvious answer is gun control and attacking Trump supporters.

The left is beyond parody at this point. Hard to assemble a more terrible group of people.

Deep State Reformer म्हणाले...

Quando arriva il nemico non è il momento di chiedersi dove sia la tua spada.

Achilles म्हणाले...

Threatened to shoot up the school in discord a year earlier. Claimed his account was hacked. Obsessed with parkland shooting. FBI knew. School Knew. Parents Knew. Extended family knew.

You can't make this up. It is so obvious that there is a group of people that want these school shootings to happen and they feed off it when it does.

FullMoon म्हणाले...

Was the kid on meds? Usually a Caucasian shooting at school, blacks and Mexicans doing drive bys, block parties, night clubs.
When the shooter has been bullied, why do they never seem to shoot the bullies? Always seems to be ridiculously random

NMObjectivist म्हणाले...

School shootings and airplane crashes are terrifying. No getting around that. But in this big scheme of things, relatively few people die in those events compared to car crashes and other daily causes of death. The media benefits, though. Clicks.

Leland म्हणाले...

Did see the news about the FBI investigating the shooter in 2023 for making online threats to shoot up the school. "He denied the threats"? In what way? Did he suggest there were not his comments? How was he associated with these comments at all? Did he claim to have a hacked account? It seems that denial was dishonest at the least, so why did the FBI so easily accept it?

One wonders if the Butler, PA shooter made similar comments on social media that was scrubbed. Who is investigating that case?

Before calling me "without evidence, a conspiracy theorist", do keep in mind how much we know about the FBI doing nothing to protect the US Women's Gymnastic Team after multiple reports of sexual assault by the USOC assigned physician. Not only did the FBI do nothing, but people knew the Special Agent in Charge was doing nothing because he wanted a position on the USOC, and when all this came out, the FBI still didn't really do anything until Congress held investigations.

FleetUSA म्हणाले...

First, how did the kid get this gun into the school. Second, if the FBI questioned him, did they question the parents and did they check on the parents guns' safe keeping.

FullMoon म्हणाले...

What could the FBI do to prevent it? Can he be arrested for making the threat? Then what, lifetime incarceration? What could the parents do to prevent it, tell him to behave himself?

Any commenters here, as teenagers in a loving, normal familypissed off enough to want to shoot up the school, incapable of coming up with a plan to do it?

ONLY way to stop these guys is to keep the firearms locked up.

Narayanan म्हणाले...

if the FBI questioned him, >> ? interrogation or interview? do agents write report if no arrest is made?

dwshelf म्हणाले...

The two general ideas:
1. Harden the target. Be prepared to shoot back.
2. Take threatening people seriously. Don't feel required to let them into a classroom.

Mark म्हणाले...

So, what should the cops have done after talking to him last year that would have been legal and effective?

You want to piss on other people's ideas? Then suggest something definitive that would have prevented this.

RideSpaceMountain म्हणाले...

We have something called a Terror Watchlist and the No-Fly List, and if our federal agencies can hassle our precious Tulsi Gabbard at the airport because she's been designated SSSS on a watchlist then we can have the feds watch these little terrorists every move offline or on.

There are thousands of things already happening that erode all of our civil rights and if the Feds are telling us that they can't make someone who deserves to live a life of constant hell live it, than why are we paying them to torture all of us instead of them.

They might even learn to stake out a hot sloped metal roof while they're at it. Builds character.

I hope you're not holding your breath waiting for the MSM to report on this.

I must say I am surprised no arrests were made of the Prayer Circle participants. Thats the sort of thing that really ticks off our DOJ/FBI.

But only if it's Christians.

Narr म्हणाले...

The local news every day leads with the latest arrest of a student with a gun--it's a staple. The predictable people say the predictable things about it.

SRO is a perfect example of the corruption of the language. School Resource Officer, indeed. More like Security Ritual Officer.

The father of the Georgia school shooting suspect has been arrested and is facing several charges, authorities say ~ CNN

Buying a 13-year-old boy you named Colt and you know to be troubled an AR-15 strains my capacity to tolerate American cultural differences. Especially after having a sit down with the FBI about these troubles last year.

Seems like the sort of indifference that would have a special name.

Kind of like what used to be done with dangerous "immigrants". Now, our rulers just invite them in and give them stuff that hard-working Americans have to pay for.

Colin Gray told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present. The timeline the teen’s father provided to authorities would put the gun purchase months after authorities first contacted Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats made online.

Colin Gray, 54, has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.

Mark म्हणाले...

They also kick the special needs kids out, if they accept them in the first place.

There were two cops at the school. Exactly how much are you willing to pay to staff this school police force (in schools you already say are spending too much of our tax money)?
