I know most of you are soulless gun nuts but a few of you may have hearts. My wife teaches 5th grade so I have to hear about teachers having heart attacks every time an alarm goes off every week. This is what teachers are dealing with now because we can't even have a conversation without the nutjobs screaming "2nd amendment!". Eventually a school in Louisville or Lexington will get shot up and maybe it will finally move some of you to action. Or even just move yoy to talk reasonably without trying to convince everyone the government is out to get everyone. Im sure the government with its tanks, drones, stealth bombers, malware on every device, 1 trillion warfare budget is real scared of your AR-15s.
In 7th period, out of nowhere today, the fire alarms at my school went off. My students stood up as they always do when the alarm goes off for drills.
My brain immediately went into robot mode. I recalled the incident from yesterday like a mathematician calculating a problem on a whiteboard. Zero emotions. Zero fear.
“Wait,” I said, holding up my hand. The kids froze. “Let’s sit for now,” I said calmly. They sat, looking at me in terror.
“What if it’s like—!!!” One child cried out, but I turned, shook my head, and kept my hand held out.
“It’s not. Probably someone pulled the alarm. It’s okay. Let’s just wait.”
We waited. I kept eye contact with the teacher in the classroom across the hall from me. We both shook our heads.
Then I waited to hear gunshots.
Do you hear me?
I stood in front of your children and I waited to hear gunshots.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT????
I didn’t want to put them in lockdown just yet. Calmness and control is the only defense I have against a room of panicked teenagers. I turned and I looked every single one of them in the eyes and I nodded my head reassuringly. You are my babies. I have you. I have you.
I kept glancing across at the teacher across from me. He shook his head. We stayed still.
Suddenly, I saw our guidance counselor in the hallway. She beckoned for us to come out. I stuck my head out and said “it’s safe?” She said “Yes, let’s go out.”
“Come on, guys,” I said. “It’s all right. We can go outside.”
They behaved wonderfully. They followed me out calmly, we evacuated, and then we stood outside for 30 minutes while fire trucks and police cars checked out our building. It was a faulty alarm. Everyone was safe.
I took my children back inside. We had a successful drill. Everyone was safe. I even made a point to update parents and community that we were all safe.
School dismissed.
The kids left, chatting excitedly how they missed half a class period.
I sat at my desk.
My little sister came in to say goodbye for the day and I lost it. Sobbing, snot coming out, face burning, nauseated.
I was waiting to hear gunshots. I was waiting to hide my kids. I was waiting for the shots.
I’m home and I’m angry.
I stood in front of your kids and waited to die for them.
I STOOD IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDS AND WAITED TO DIE FOR THEM!

Even more, I'd be willing to bet the two D Senators from GA didn't actually win either....So we are starting to get pretty solid proof Biden didn’t win Arizona or Georgia. PA was probably more fraudulent than those two. What are we supposed to do as a country with an illegitimate prez? How can he remain in office?
Based take from BLM. The embargo’s a Cold War relic that’s held Cubans down for longer than most Americans have been alive. Way past time for its end.Typical commie behavior. Is this what you were referencing @Dionysus444 of being hypocritical because now blm supports police brutality. Atleast they bought some mansions with the money they raised I suppose.

It least that wouldn’t be as bad as jan 6.
It’s coming. biden will lift sanctions because it’s the humane thing to do, c’mon man…the cubans need the vax.Typical commie behavior.

And who gets to decide what is and isn't considered racism, because if you listen to the left everything from Math to the weather to the air we breathe is racist. literally everything.Nazi-ism on full display.
So once again the media is running with something completely fictional? None of that happened, it was all Milley's personal thoughts yet they're running with it as if it did happen to make Milley out to be a hero.

They're also once again using “ Nazi” comparisons of their political opponents dehumanizing them.

The chief of the military was just revealed to have said that we can’t do shit about it because they have all the guns.Even more, I'd be willing to bet the two D Senators from GA didn't actually win either....
The more that comes out, the more hardline the Democrat admin will get, they are gunning for the Constitution.
I think that must have been a different jackass.Lucky for Mcconell, they don’t have to break precedent now, which is the entire point I was trying to make.
Weren’t you the jackass that had a hard on for Massey? Not surprised you’re all about the establishment
Sawnee announced on D-League a few days ago that he's vacationing for next two weeks.I haven't seen sawnee cat post today...I'm worried DeSantis killed him. Why Ron? Why?
Absolutely. We are in real trouble.The more that comes out, the more hardline the Democrat admin will get, they are gunning for the Constitution.
I don't understand why you're hung up on this breaking precedent thing. McConnell led the breaking of the precedent of not filibustering SC justice nominations. Yes, after DIms broke it for other judges. Nonetheless, MM did it.Lucky for Mcconell, they don’t have to break precedent now, which is the entire point I was trying to make.
I'm not hung up on it, because won't have to happen now, as the Republicans didn't become the minority under his watch, conveniently. The Democrats...and establishment Republicans were involved in stealing the election.I don't understand why you're hung up on this breaking precedent thing. McConnell led the breaking of the precedent of not filibustering SC justice nominations. Yes, after DIms broke it for other judges. Nonetheless, MM did it.
I didn't say your party was racist. I know a lot of good conservatives that are not racist at all. I said there are lot's of conservatives on this board who are racist.Ha ha ha ha ha...nobody gives a hot ish whether or not you think the 'party' is racist...Your opinion is so convoluted and twisted anyway...It's not possible to prove a negative...

J and J is under fire because they have a 1 dose vaccine.
God people are dumb as shit and want to be sheep. We are beyond trying to save people from their idiocy and political religion. Just let them go over the cliff with their trust in government and Bog Pharma.
Unfortunately Russia was correct about everything.

Kremlin papers appear to show Putin’s plot to put Trump in White House
Exclusive: Documents suggest Russia launched secret multi-agency effort to interfere in US democracywww.theguardian.com
Hmmm, Trump sounds an awful lot like the schizophrenics I work with at the homeless shelter from time to time. Repeating the same false story where secret people are aligned against him. Heck sounds a lot like you honestly.How is claiming she is a man racist? We say the same about Rapinoe and a number of other people of questionable Gender. That has Zero to do with her race. If Jill Biden was in stage in a dress with a massive bulge, we’d question her too. And please find one that equates her to a Monkey. I’m not buying that one one bit.
I’m not even going to comment on the absurdity of your comparing Trumps cognitive ability to Biden’s. After seeing the many gaffes, misstatements, blunders, losing track mid speech, the blank stare, all compared to his past speeches, it’s patently obvious.
Who's the other person?You want non-political basketball news?

Fact Checker saw it online at a liberal news site. It has to be true because liberal news sites never lied when it came to Trump.
