The psychos are the students! What school is gonna prevent a student from walking in? If you are intended to be inside the building there will never be enough security to keep killers out when the killer is already in the building. They would have to start cavity searching students because if they want to shoot up the school they would find a way.
The only solution is LESS guns available!
Cavity searching the students is genuinely their recommendation.
Well. The problem students. You know the ones.
The ones with Republican parents?
The ones they find attractive?
I guess no one remembers the fire alarm fiasco... March 24, 1998

There is another way.
Mental. Health. Care.
We need more of that, but we also need less availability of guns.
They're charging the dad again here.
I don't think that's appropriate for every case, but when the parent provides access to an AR-15 with a child that has shown clear signs of mental instability... yeah, that's negligent homicide.
I think every parent of a school shooter should be charged. Kids can't buy a gun without being old enough and if they go black market where did the kid get the cash? I don't let my kids hold onto enough cash to buy a gun, it goes in our joint bank account so I'll know if they withdraw it. When they are 18 we will sign it over to them.
There are so many things a reasonable parent can do that a neglectful parent doesn't. Also know who your kids friends are, meet them, meet the parents, judge them, judge the parents and the kids harshly. It's your right as a parent to keep your kids safe. If they are in a bad crowd then do something. Change their school, report any and all suspicions that you have, follow your kids if they go out alone. I know its overbearing and your kids may hate it but it's your ass on the line if they shoot up a school or theater.
You can't CBT your way out of fascism and poverty
Poverty no, fascism, you can help those most vulnerable to believing it get the help they need so they are no longer suspectible to it.
Are therapists doing class consciousness now lol
i mean, technically they aren't wrong, even the most educated and intelligent people are still susceptible to fascism, that's why it works.
More than that. Attendance is mandatory (as it should be).
