Nashville Police: Trans Shooter Chose Not to Attack the Public School Where She Was Bullied So She Wouldn’t Appear Racist [More]
In other words, it was a hate crime.

According to a letter sent to Memorial High School staff, Spring Branch ISD police took immediate action on Tuesday after learning about a credible threat that was identified on social media. [More]
And it wasn’t disallowed for violating “community standards“…?
What’s dumber: Them or the “gun-free zones” that make them believe they can get away with it?

It looks like licensing, registration, and categorized police permissions didn’t work…
I wonder if VoxFudd Tom Heberlein still thinks they’ve got the answer…
No word yet on the identity of the shooter…

Tennessee high school shooting: 1 killed, 1 wounded, teen gunman dead of self-inflicted gunshot: police [More]

Tennessee doesn’t have:
Universal background checks
Gun owner licensing
Large capacity magazine ban
Waiting periods
Community violence intervention funding
Lost and stolen firearm reporting
There are actually morons who believe them.

Did he have his bodycam on?
And whatever happened to this bill that would have required:
The personal body camera shall be continuous in its operation while the peace officer is in the performance of his or her duties and shall be worn in such a manner that all audio and video images of his or her contact with any person is digitally recorded.
Anybody up on what the law currently says on that?

A Galveston, Texas, jury on Monday found the parents of a teenager who shot and killed 10 classmates at Santa Fe High School in 2018 not liable for the violence, ending an unusual civil trial. Family members of the shooting victims and survivors accused Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Kosmetatos of being negligent in allowing their son, Dimitrios, to obtain weapons from their home and for not warning school officials or police about his deteriorating mental state.

It’s a sure bet the sick little coward who didn’t have the guts to kill himself can’t make good on the $330M. And prior settlement or no, I wouldn’t want to own Lucky Gunner about now…

An adult had reason to believe a six-year-old was armed and did not immediately go and personally find out and take care of it, and now the taxpayers are subsidizing his cowardice.

It’s still way too “Only Oneish” for me. Character and judgment don’t change just because you cross an artificial prioerty line, and killers won’t care anyway.

Crumbley’s defense attorney, meanwhile, argued that Crumbley had shown signs of severe mental illness years prior to the shooting, and neither his parents nor school officials did anything to help him.
