Maybe it finally has happened. Maybe we’ve finally reached the point at which we sufficient numbers of us cry, “Enough.”
Really, enough. We all know it. Even the staunchest Second Amendment advocate knows it. Men and women of sound mind and goodwill have the right to keep and bear arms. There are ways to ensure that those who affirmatively would use weapons of war for their intended purposes cannot do so.
Hopefully, we will soon strike a better balance between the right to liberty when it comes to guns with the right to life when it comes to not being shot by one. Hopefully, those boys and girls who died on Tuesday will not have died in vain.
It’s all so cringy, I just can’t look away, though.

That part stuck out to me the most, as well. It’s the definition of using the bodies as a soap box for your political views.
Someone posted something from Michael Moore earlier where he openly called for getting rid of the second amendment. I say, hey, good. Let’s have the honest debate. That’s what the majority of the progs want. They can’t outright say it because they know it isn’t popular and because they know it’s going to get smacked down by the courts. So we get bullshit nonsense about “commonsense” gun regulations that never…ever…would have actually prevented the situations in question.

Exactly, which is the MO of the progs since good ol’ Woodrow fuckin Wilson. Forget amendments – and later in the century, forget legislation – we should have a cadre of experts guide the nation with their expert expertise! Rule of law and the bicameral process to make legislation is too slow and cumbersome. Things get done so much faster when regulators regulate!
I’d say we need a real life Bureau of Sabotage, but if history has proven out anything, it’s that communism is self-sabotaging and after a lot of misery we’ll have a Romanian Christmas and shake those tendrils off for good.

QB struggled with the top left. I posted the first run, but I ran a few more and it chumped on top left a few times.

About 25 years ago I revisited my high school, first thing I noticed was the locked entry, the security camera and a buzzer. I told my friend that it was like a prison.
One would think it was safe and secure but I’m sure criminal entry with nefarious plans would have been easy or like the kid in Florida, wait outside.

I Google-street-viewed my HS recently and was happy to see no barricades, at least. It’s one of those old-timey buildings (1910, I believe) with a zillion entrances but who knows what theater is in place now.
But… of course… none of this matters. The design of the school is not the issue. The mental state of the children who pass through its doors is the issue, and that is where something is amiss. Here and there, in rare instances that one cannot “defend” against.

Armed school resource officer, as was the case in Florida, failed to do anything. He “engaged” the shooter, but did not, you know, fire his weapon. No reason is being given. If you can imagine, the best and bravest LE has to offer aren’t looking to be a school resource officers.
They speak of someone being at the school days earlier to give training for a shooting incident. The husband of one of the teachers killed, in fact. So, presumably this town had a tactical team.
It wasn’t until a special Border Patrol tactical unit showed up that they actually decided to act. One guy reportedly refused to wait for back-up and engaged. Was wounded himself.
So, basically, it took a while to get someone with the stones to do what needed to be done on the scene. But the media doesn’t give a shit about that story because this is about gun control.
Yeah, the “we isolated him and that akshully saved lies” bullshit raised my blood pressure. According to the Mail story, there were plenty of opportunities to take this fucker out. I guess getting home safe is more important than getting the public home safe.

“Raritan and Flemington officers ordered the man to drop his sword, but he refused and ran toward an officer “in an aggressive manner,” police said in a statement.”

::mentally searches for innocuous but plausible excuses to miss work::
Cold? Sinus infection? As long as you avoid any symptoms that prompt higher-ups to demand you take a COVID test. My boss missed a couple of days of work this week from what he insisted was a cold. Said he took a couple of at-home tests that were negative for COVID. He came in for part of the day yesterday, croaking.
I’m taking generic Airborne to try to keep from catching his cold just in time for the holiday weekend.
In other too-local news today, I have a hair appointment! ?? Besides repairing the ravages of time on my hair, I get to leave work early to go get pampered! ?
GT, you need an excuse to miss work? We just post on the slack(er) channel. “Not feeling well today”. Working for a woke outfit has its benefits.
The youngest Patzer is home for the summer. He emerged from his cave at 2:30 PM yesterday, and I told him I thought that was a bit late, to which he replied that he had been awake for an hour. I figured I’d better not ask what he’d been doing for that hour.

I’m very lucky that my employer has quite generous paid time off benefits (especially the longer you’re there, and I’m at 22 years.) I think I just maxed out on sick leave, and I have to watch that I don’t max out on Vacation.
