These incidents are becoming common place. Hopefully these student will take path of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students. It's mentioned the student had a rifle. It didn't say what kind.
Are we becoming desensitized?

When I was a fifth grader (1965) a third grader (put in our classroom because the teacher couldn't handle him) pulled a knife on me .
...now that I think about it 10 years later his uncle shot at us when we picked him up for a night out on the town |

That’s nothing. Jodeke had another student pull a sword on him in chariot class. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

These shootings has been so common that schools at the elementary level are teaching kids 0 tolerance on guns.
For ex:
My kid and his friends got in trouble at school for recreating a Star Wars scene. The were pretending they were storm troopers and they were using sticks as guns to shoot at Jedi. Teacher saw that and brought all 4 boys in from recess and filled out a note for a parents to sign. Smh. |

Peoples lives are at stake and the best solution some can come up with is to strap our underpaid and underfunded teachers with guns. Lol

We played Cowboys and Indians at recess back in the day. Times have changed. If you don't mind, what was the gist of the note? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Talking about desensitized, this morning I was driving to work and saw a car to the left of me flip over, smoke coming out and everything, but it didn't even faze me for a second. All I thought was 'that must be annoying', and got pissed at the driver in front of me stopping.
