She’s also, all of a sudden, calling for socialism. I wonder if that’s part of their budget proposal.

The federal government must partner with states for mental hospitals and drug rehab centers for the good of our society.

Our nation is plagued with mental illness, drug addiction, homelessness, and out of control crime.

We have to fix it.

But still no mention of guns.

I saw talk above about the graphic photos and video on Twitter, Marge had retweeted a pretty graphic video or the shooter but that is no longer available so maybe Twitter has caught up an is removing a lot of that stuff.

The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

I just cannot comprehend anyone putting forth that getting shot is an expected consequence of becoming a teacher!

“I never imagined in a hundred years I would be thrust into the position of being the first responder on the side to take care of people,” Spainhouer told KTVT.

As he tried to provide CPR to victims, Spainhouer, holding back tears, told a KTVT news reporter J.D. Miles that he knew there were at least three people he couldn’t help, including a girl and a mother.

“The first girl I walked up to was crouched down, covering her head in the bushes. So I felt for a pulse, pulled her head to the side, and she had no face,” he told the local outlet.

Spainhouer said he also found a child covered by his mother, who had died in the attack.

“When I rolled the mother over, he came out, and I asked him, ‘Are you okay?’ And he said, ‘My mom is hurt. My mom is hurt,’” Spainehouer recalled. “So rather than traumatize him any more I put him around the corner, sat him down. He was covered from head to toe like somebody had poured blood on him.”

Then it better be same or higher than the equivalent for a police officer injured in the line of duty. That’s a lot more than worker’s comp, it’s full pension.

“People want to make this political, but prayers are important,” he said.

No, SOME people want to make politics Christian, but separation of church and state is important.

god is going to make as many killers as god needs, is a weird self own on their part

i mean, if there is nothing they can do, why the hell are they in office anyway? they’re basically just thumbing their nose at god if they think they can write better laws than him tm

there are plenty of people who’d at least be willing to try to make this planet a better place. the gop should really go spend more time with their families

Source: Authorities investigating Texas mall shooter’s possible extremist motivations

From CNN’s Josh Campbell

Authorities in Texas are investigating whether the Allen, Texas, outlet mall shooter was motivated by right-wing extremism, a senior law enforcement source familiar with the investigation tells CNN.

While the investigation remains ongoing and authorities have not zeroed in on a specific motive, the source said the deceased shooter was found with an insignia on his clothing that read “RWDS,” which authorities believe may stand for “Right Wing Death Squad.”

As the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that monitors and reports on extremism, has noted in the past, some members of extremist groups have been seen in recent years with patches bearing the same letters.

Investigators have also uncovered the gunman’s extensive social media presence, the law enforcement source tells CNN. It includes neo-Nazi and White supremacist-related posts, and images that authorities believe he shared online, according to the official.
