Translation:

“We at the FBI really didn’t give a shit.  Nobody thought this threat was real enough to do any actual work to prevent it.

We learned that after dropping the ball on the San Bernardino shooters, Tsarnev brothers, and Ahmad Rahami, it doesn’t matter how bad we fucked it, we can’t get fired.

Besides, we were too busy trying to deflect accusations of corruption because of our agents’ philandering and political biases, to extricate our thumbs from out asses and do something useful.”

A beloved football coach who witnesses said shielded students as a gunman opened fire inside a Parkland, Fla., high school Wednesday, is the first of 17 fatalities to be identified.

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School football team’s Twitter account confirmed Aaron Feis’ death early Thursday morning.

“It is with Great sadness that our Football Family has learned about the death of Aaron Feis,” the tweet read. “He was our Assistant Football Coach and security guard. He selflessly shielded students from the shooter when he was shot. He died a hero and he will forever be in our hearts and memories”

He died a hero, no doubt. |And for his unselfish actions, he must be celebrated.

But you know what? I don’t want any more dead heroes in school. I want live heroes that were able to fend off an attack because they had the tools to do so.

He strikes me as somebody who would have charged at Nikolas Cruz and shoot his scrawny ass off.  But we will never know because our Legislature was too spineless to face Gun Control and do the right thing.

Time to allow teachers to defend their students.

I am sure the Democrats in Tallahassee are wasting no time writing or dusting bills to curtail our 2A rights. We need to fight back ASAP. We need to get the 2014 SB 968 back and this time approved for the Governor’s signature.

“School Safety; Providing an exception to a prohibition on possession of firearms or other specified devices on school property or in other specified areas for authorized concealed weapon or firearm licensees as designated by school principals or district superintendents; requiring a school district board to formulate policies and procedures for managing active-shooter and hostage situations; requiring a district school board or private school principal to allow for campus tours by local law enforcement agencies once every 3 years, etc. “

I sent this quick email to Senators Negron and Steube  since they are the President of the Senate and Head of the Judiciary respectively, and also to Senator Rene Garcia who is my local senator.  Use the Senator Finder to locate yours. I also added Senator Dorothy L. Hukill since she is he head of the Education committee and the bill died in there, it was not even brought up for discussion.

My representative is Jose R. Oliva and he was also contacted regarding the same bill. You can use the Find Your Representative link to write to yours.

Here is the text I sent, some changes were made according to the person.

Four years ago, a bill was brought to the legislature to allow teachers and approved personnel to train and carry guns in schools in order to fight back when a Mass Murderer attacked.
2014 session – SB 968 by Senator Hays need to be brought back and passed to send to Governor Scott for signing ASAP.

It is time to harden schools up the right way. No more silly Gun Free Zone signs, there is no kumbaya possible when a killer is murdering kids.

OK folks, get going.

The date of the article is June 23, 2017. While other states are taking measures to harden schools against Mass Murderers, Florida teachers are considered to be too stupid or too mechanical disinclined to properly manipulate a weapon and defend the kids under their care.

If someone begins shooting at the students or staff at Fleming K-12 School in northeast Colorado, football coach and bus driver Scott Muller wants to be ready to shoot back.

“Something like this is nothing you want to do,” Muller said during a break from the active-shooter training course he took this week. “But anybody who wants to protect kids, they will take something like this on.”

After all, said Muller, it’s unlikely help would be nearby if someone attacked Fleming School, about 20 miles east of Sterling. The local sheriff told him “they are so far out they won’t be able to respond in time to do much. It will be pretty much left up to someone at the school to do something.”

Muller is among 17 teachers and administrators from five mostly rural counties who received  intensive training this week on how to prevent — or at least minimize — a mass shooting at their schools, many of which are in far-flung areas where it would take law enforcement up to 30 minutes to respond.

Colorado teachers, administrators train to take offensive against active shooter

But hey, don’t worry, them magical Gun Free Zone signs will keep your kid safe at school. Right?

(I owe a hat tip for this one)

I’m not going to comment too much on yesterday’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because details are still coming out.

There are three bits of information that we have learned that are key.

The FBI was warned that a YouTube user with the name Nicholas Cruz left a comment on a video saying “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.”

Cruz was expelled from the school previously and was banned from coming onto campus with a backpack because of “fears that he would attack other students.”  His disciplinary problems stretch back to the 8th grade.

Cruz’s problems were so well known that “everyone predicted” that he would be a school shooter.

This situation seems very similar to that of Jared Lee Loughner, where there was red flag after red flag that he would do something like this but no agency with any authority was involved enough to prevent it.

Even the Las Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock, put up some red flags that he was up to no good.

Apparently our bureaucracy has butterfingers.

After Loughner and Cruz, THIS should become a priority.

To the rabid anti-gunners of America, the problem is the NRA and their donations.

Blame was laid at the feet of NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch.

Her humanity, and that of all Republicans, was questioned.

Remember, if you are not a Democrat, you are a subhuman untermensch.

She had to be human first… She doesn't qualify

Then there is the call for collective punishment.

We have to elect candidates that are not funded by the NRA in November. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won’t allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. You all have blood on your hands.

If you want to understand why the media in the United States was fawning all over Kim Jong Un’s sister, this is why.

There is no problem the far left has found in which the solution was something other than take everybody who disagrees and send them to a gulag.

Are people poor?  Eat the rich.

Do people commit murder?  Send the law abiding gun owners to prison.

If only they could imprison or execute enough people, they could usher in Utopia.

To them, every mass shooting is another chance to call for that.

Shane Morris wants to be the Democratic candidate for Senate in Tennessee.  Shortly after the Parkland Shooting, he went to Twitter to mock people about it.

https://twitter.com/IamShaneMorris/status/963870828281475072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitchy.com%2Fbrettt-3136%2F2018%2F02%2F14%2Fbad-taste-senate-candidate-jokes-that-gops-thoughts-and-prayers-stopped-school-shooting%2F

That’s some brilliant display of empathy right there.  A true humanitarian.

Every time some minor Republican says something stupid, the media demands that every person in the GOP answer for it.

I have a doubt that anybody will ask Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi about this asshole’s statement.
