The shooter was also Jewish and a former student for anyone that didn't read the article and is about to jump to conclusions.

Well damn there goes my misguided outrage. Now all I have left is sympathy for the children.
I mean how else do you think the shooter was stopped by the police properly?
So it is just the normal daily school shooting?

I bet I can guess who he voted for.
Hint: The fat guy.
Taft?
Of course. Who else?
It's funny-sad to me that Taft was known for being obese, but compared to modern people, if you saw him on the street today, you wouldn't even think twice.
He's a chonk, but he's still able to stand.
Not really, he's dead.
It looks like it’s really uncomfortable though. I saw an older guy shaped like that in line at the bank the other day. He kept squatting down to rest each time the line advanced. It was odd to see someone squatting at the bank and odd to see an old man so able to squat and get up from a squat, but his body shape made it make sense.
I saw a guy so large riding in a chevy pickup yesterday that he was listing the truck
Might be the angle, but his ass looks wider than his shoulders. I don’t know of a medical term for such a thing, but he looks rotund for his time.

As much as I despise the fat man and his tribe I can tell you did not read the news. It's personal in nature it's an ex-student of that school a Jewish person himself.
I still say he did it on behalf of Grover Cleveland.
If we’re talking fat presidents doesn’t Taft take (and eat) the cake?

This is a big win for doors nationwide
I remember sitting in a college cattle class of 200+ students and the only thing on my mind was how that room needed more than one door.
There is no way a 200 capacity room had one door. Surely that would be a fire code violation. The other doors are probably kind of hidden so people don't leave out them on the regular.
"Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said, “I am proud of the vigilant and quick response of MPD officers who mitigated a potential mass shooting situation today.”"
I feel like the cops are giving themselves too much credit here. Mitigating the potential mass shooting event to me means preventing the shooter from shooting at the school... I mean good on them for catching him quickly though, that is good work and I try to give credit where it's due despite generally not appreciating cops, but mitigating the attack is not what they did there...
At least by my layman definitions. Does mitigate mean something else in cop talk?
I guess they could be saying there was potential of him going somewhere else and doing a mass shooting there, so maybe that's what they mean?
Mitigating doesn't mean you prevented it from happening. I would say mitigate is a reasonable word for exactly what they did.
