    You hear of the thousands of shootings that take place in Chicago every year. Why don't you hear about school shootings in Chicago?
    Because almost all inner city Chicago schools have METAL DETECTORS and ARMED GUARDS. The idiots know if they charge a school with a gun, they will be shot at.
    Does that make any sense?

    Yep. Good point.
    However, enough information was available on this individual and nothing was done.
    Even the F.B.I. was informed; nothing done.
    Washington needs a good Enima and heads should roll.
    Time we get these do-nothings out of D.C.

    This is a good one
    A Teacher of the Year at a Florida middle school posted a Facebook message that has since gone viral saying parents need to “step up” when it comes to their kids’ behavior.
    “Okay, I’ll be the bad guy and say what no one else is brave enough to say, but wants to say,” Kelly Guthrie Raley, who was named Eustis Middle School Teacher of the Year 2017-2018 last month, said in a now-viral Facebookpostfollowing the mass shooting that killed 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
    Raley said she’ll “take all the criticism and attacks” for her opinion because, as a teacher with two decades of experience, she has to worry about an active-shooter situation on a daily basis.
    The middle school teacher said over her almost two decades as an educator that she’s seen an increase in violence and a lack of compassion among students.
    “Until we, as a country, are willing to get serious and talk about mental health issues, lack of available care for the mental health issues, lack of discipline in the home, horrendous lack of parental support when the schools are trying to control horrible behavior at school (oh no! Not MY KID. What did YOU do to cause my kid to react that way?), lack of moral values, and yes, I’ll say it – violent video games that take away all sensitivity to ANY compassion for others’ lives – as well as reality TV that makes it commonplace for people to constantly scream up in each others’ faces and not value any other person but themselves, we will have a gun problem in school,” the sixth-grade language arts teacher wrote.
    Raley, who loves hunting and four-wheeling in her spare time, added that she grew up with guns in her home.
    “But you know what? My parents NEVER supported any bad behavior from me,” Raley said.
    She said when she began teaching 20 years ago, she never had to worry about calling a student’s parents and getting cussed out, told to go to hell, or threatened with a public shaming all because she was calling out their child’s behavior. Something, she said, has got to change.
    “Parents, it’s time to step up!” Raley urges. “Be the parent that actually gives a crap! Be the annoying mom that pries and knows what your kid is doing. STOP being their friend. They have enough ‘friends’ at school. Be their parent. Being the ‘cool mom’ means not a damn thing when either your kid is dead or your kid kills other people because they were allowed to have their space and privacy in YOUR HOME.”
    She doubles down that she had guns in her home.
    “But you know what? I never dreamed of shooting anyone with his guns. I never dreamed of taking one! I was taught respect for human life, compassion, rules, common decency, and most of all, I was taught that until I moved out, my life and bedroom wasn’t mine...it was theirs. And they were going to know what was happening because they loved me and wanted the best for me.”
