      what gives you the idea there’s explosives involved anywhere?

      I mean it’s an absurd, shit plan, but there’s no explosives mentioned I can see. their plan is to just yeet drones at the bad guys until they give up in shame I guess.

      anything, anything, but address the ease of people ammassing guns and ammo.

      beer, titties, guns, dead kids, and trucks: the 'merikan way

        Given the depth of the thinking here, and the desire to have guns in all situations, it’s only a matter of time until they add a 4th box with the “armed response unit” that’s only “supposed to be used in the most dire of situations”.

        Anything other than dealing with the underlying problem means anything.

      Racist don’t suddenly stop being racist. They die.

      You can either wait for that to happen or make it happen. Either way, that’s the only way to deal with racist. Wait them out or kill them. There isn’t a third option.

        I grew up in a racist environment and parroted what was around me most of my young life. It’s all I knew, I didn’t change until I experienced the world and broadened my world view. Many of these “bigots” are ignorant and exploited. They are not evil people that should be eliminated. Your way of intolerance is the same type of ignorance you claim to hate. Dehumanizing any person or group as below you and therefore justify violence against is the worse part of society and the thing that needs to be cured. Racism is just one facet of that beast.

                  You’re an unforgivable piece of shit. And if I could, I would hunt you down and kill you. Someone really should.

        It’s not the number that matters, it’s whose kids it is getting killed. If someone were to shoot up a school filled with politicians’ kids you’ll see some change rapidly.

          but its less likely to happen since private schools tend to be in wealthy areas, and is probably gated up. and PRIVATE school admins/rich parents are very quick to get rid of “problem students” aka “quiet dismissal but not outright expulsion”, a public schools wont do that, unless it becomes serious. i was in a sub about youtube channels owner(used to follow who sent thier kid to a private school, he was forced to leave because he was displaying aggressive behaviour from seizure meds, and the school was pressuring/ostracizing the students to leave the school, last i heard the kid sits at home and does nothing.)

      Though I loathe their governor, Alabama has turned things around in recent years. Birmingham is an utter shithole, but the rural bits are the nicest I’ve ever encountered. Hitting the Mississippi border from there feels like you went from a quaint little countrified state into the 3rd world.

      Texas actually seems to be going backwards, slowly, but backwards.

        I feel like Alabama is gunning to be a Dollar Store Florida. Excellent for retirees, good for sports ball, pretty much shit for everyone else.

        So I guess that would make Texas something akin to Bucees - bigger, still a bit shit compared to other large competitors, and ideal for some real weird people watching.

    drones can soar through school halls at 100 mph […] and can fly through double-paned glass

    Ah yes, let’s fly a deadly projectile through the hallway … maybe shatter some glass for extra shrapnel. What could go wrong?

      It’s probably safer than other solutions that other countries have tried… Certainly safer than, say, banning firearms.

      So many countries tried that option and have you seen their school shootings statistics?

    When I was a kid I used to joke about school being a prison.

    This was back when doors weren’t locked during the day and when a friend of mine took a joke hand grenade to school it was confiscated and he was told to pick it up at the end of the day and don’t do that again.

    Schools have been asymptotically approaching prisons to the point where they will be indistinguishable in the near future.

      Agreed. Fuck this shit.

      My kids’ school is surrounded by a giant chain link fence.

      Solve societal.problems leading to higher levels of violence? Nah, let’s just lock the kids up during the day - it’s for their own protection.

      Something is very fucking wrong with people who want to solve our problems this way. Don’t let them pretend this is normal or how this shit should he handled. What the fuck are we doing?
