3/27/23 Nashville School Shooting

Case study in how you can prove you haven't been paying attention without saying you haven't been paying attention.
Why because the system is not a 100% successful? Is that a good reason not to try or dose it prove they need to do more?
 
I haven't had time to look up every aspect of this shooting, but this is one worth more attention because it was a biological woman, which is rare, but even more interesting is they communicated to a childhood friend they were going to do something violent. Normally mass shooters don't speak to others and reveal their plans and don't seek help, this one did seem to want help. Forget about the trans issue for a second (tho it does have a part dealing with the motive) this person was being treated by some medical professional (who I'm sure police are interviewing) and the reaching out to a friend is classic suicidal behavior.

There's definitely more to this, hate for Christians and this victim hood mentality was the major motivation, but we're not seeing trans people shooting up churches every Sunday, so don't automatically brand every trans person as some mass killer in waiting.

I said this last year after rumors about the Uvalde shooter came out, yet it still applies today to this shooting.
The democrat socialist playbook is to divide people, splinter off groups, then radicalize them into action. It's what they do.

No, because your assumption that there is vetting for pedophilia is incorrect. They may do a criminal background check which may detect a prior conviction for a sex related crime, but past that, there is no screen of any type for any sexual proclivities.

You explicitly stated you are "pretty sure" that such vetting is done. As no such screening is done, you clearly have not been paying attention.
 
The LGBTTTTQP+ community needs to be held accountable, they created this monster. They should be rounded up and sent away. We can't tolerate this kind of Hate & violence in our communities.
We need accountability.

This mentality is why trans community is using violence and are feeling threatened. Hopefully this isn't the prevailing attitude with the majority, I don't think it is though.

If your where paying attention I also stated in other comments known criminals and pedophiles. Sorry for the confusion I should been more clear for you
 
I am a taxpayer sending my kids to school I would like to know the people they are dealing with are not pedofiles, criminals and can shoot good....... i am pretty sure as a teacher you have been vetted for the first 2

Clarity and backreading the thread has no relevance here. There is no way to reconcile the upper post with the lower one, unless you want me to assume that you lack the ability to write a coherent sentence. If you want people to accept that explanation, then you only know 1 of the three conditions in the upper post (i.e., not a known criminal) and are will to take the same level of uncertainly to a teacher's tendency to be a pedophile as to his being a good shot.
 
Seen a repeated tv report about a lady buying her kids bullet proof back packs last night. It’s unfortunate we live in a world where that is needed. Not a bad idea but can’t imagine how heavy it is for young kids though.
That's more for Mom than the kids - Munchausen by Proxy symptoms. Zahal makes a good one if your kids live in a West Bank settlement or Jerusalem this coming next few weeks.

 
I took it as sarcasm as that's always the lefts response, just back at them

I'm usually pretty good detecting sarcasm because I am in fact, a level 10 sarcasm distributor.

Not really familiar with Pioneer, so maybe I am wrong.

Just read it again like 6 times, I think you are right.

You can assume or accept what ever you wish. The conversations I was having with Picton. Was not about sexual preferences. If you are a known pedophile you are clearly a criminal. And on the list of sex offenders for everyone to see
 
I live and work in Nashville. Yesterday practically every conversation inside and outside the job was dominated by this event. The overwhelming mentality among about fifty I spoke to is heartbreak at the tragedy followed by pride at the LEO response.

Several friends serve on Metro PD, two of which responded to the scene. Couldn't say much due to ongoing investigation but they likewise were pleased with how their team responded. Still understated and professional -- primarily just pissed that it was necessary and lives lost, wishing they could have resolved it faster. One said, "I didn't know my car could drive that fast." Apparently those two who neutralized the threat are about as squared away as officers can get for tactics, policy, and relating to the public. Exactly who you want on the force.
 
Another one of my friends knows the family and his kid went to school with Audrey. He is concerned the politicizing will drown out the key element of her autism. Said the class was all kind to and included her, though the social challenges of being on the spectrum led her to never feel like she fit in. As he recalls it was later around late high school or college age that she transitioned. Her level of autism is also why she couldn't live alone.

Some more key context that friend shared. The school/church had developed protocol and drilled for an active shooter. Everyone was trained that the fire alarm could mean fire or shooter, so barricade until someone comes to tell which plan you're following. On Monday a substitute teacher was present who did not know that protocol. She heard the fire alarm and led the class into the hall as if for a fire, but then was told she needed to return to the classroom until given guidance. The shooter was walking down a cross-hall and looked aside to see that teacher and the last students approaching the room. She shot them but did not turn down that hall to the classroom and unguarded students -- she proceeded on her original path up the stairs to the admin office. Leads me to speculate she wasn't primarily targeting children but shot them out of adrenaline-fueled reflex and opportunism. Though clearly she was prepared to kill anyone she found in her path.

I speculate that the trans community was the first to make a misfit feel embraced -- you're instantly brave and heroic by coming out, after all. So perhaps she followed that path of "heroism" which requires identifying a villain. Being fed a constant victim narrative led to retaliation, however much or little it originated with reality. Pretty functional definition of radicalization and self-elected "martyrdom".

This goes back to my "unable to form a cogent sentence" comment. You listed three conditions (criminal / pedophile / good shot). If you wish to conflate them (known pedophile = known criminal), there were only 2 conditions, and that's assuming your bad faith implication that the "known" condition was ever previously stated.

And, as a side note, if you wish to have a private conversation with Picton, the best place would be via DM. If you instead hold the conversation in a public forum, try not to get your panties in a twist when other people reference it.
 
Ok

You are 100% correct, I feel honored that you took the time to reply. My panties on not twisted in and way over it. Lol

I thought it was a useful line of discussion.

I don't think it's any more possible to "screen" for pedophilia than it is to "screen" police officers for corruptibility. But that wasn't the point of his post, so I didn't let it bother me.

FWIW, I believe in RKBA no matter where you are. For all occupations. But I also believe in accountability: if a citizen with a gun misuses it, they should expect investigation and, perhaps, prosecution. If they can't handle that, they shouldn't carry.

I would apply that to cops as well, in all cases. Because I don't subscribe to the notion that cops are all that special.
 
The trans community is being led to believe that there is some identifiable, geniune, and imminent threat against them. Their identity is their life, thus rejection of their identity is viewed as a belief they have no right to life. This paranoia is being made worse by a media and political ideology inciting panic and telling them to fight back, that it's okay to use physical violence on people for merely using wrong pronouns.

To them, misgendering is like calling a Black person a n****r right to their face.
Blacks and trannies BOTH need to get a grip.

And we need to stop coddling 'em both and tolerating their shit.
 
In case you haven't noticed, a majority of the trans community is taking up arms and ready to "defend" themselves.. in this case defend doesn't mean a physical threat, they are violently defending their way of life against people who they deem as anti or phobic(hint: everybody is anti or phobic to a crazy person) They suffer from mental disorders, and with the help from politicians and able to mobilize with like mined in Antifa, they have become emboldened.

Make no mistakes, they want to kill those who choose not to participate in their disorder.
And the anti-2A despots are only too happy to let them do it. They push disinformation to agitate them even further. When these unstable people go out and kill people, the Putin-wannabes will use it to justify the removal of our rights.

YeahWell, welcome to my world.

My entire life I was told, "Suck it up - it's NOT the humans' job to accommodate YOU, it's YOUR job to work with THEM."
 
Did your receive a cori check when you were hired? That would ensure you are not a known criminal or abuser of children.
For my day job? I hope so since I work with classified information and equipment.
In my personal life - Yes, because I did security and children's ministries at my previous church
Actually everyone in my house has gone through CORIs for similar reasons and my wife is a Mass certified teacher (read my previous posts where I said that I took a serious hit to ensure my children's safe and effective education)

Just because you have an LTC and took a safety course dose not mean you know how to handle a gun. Police AD/ ND all the time
Agree - You are the only one trying to strawman the no training BS.
However, if my kids were in a situation where it was a one box a year FUD or an unarmed person who was there, I would choose the FUD that MIGHT cause harm but COULD stop the threat over the certain harm from defenselessness.
You are working so some standards from your employer can be put in place
The guy working at 7-11 or Cumberland farms is more likely to get shot. But he is not allowed to carry a gun either per company policy. I have had jobs where I was not allowed. I do believe you should be able to. The only way that would even be remotely possible for you would be to be properly trained and vetted
Why would we let untrained or unvetted people supervise children in the first place - again this is not part of the argument.

I do believe citizens should be able to enter school with a weapon if properly licensed, but they are not on the clock and have no obligation to the school.
Why does a citizen need to be licensed? Please present the Textual support or Historical Tradition for such requirements.

When I say school-sponsored training is not always good, consider this ludicrous protocol.

Ps. Thanks for sharing your experiences on the ground.

You ask:

Fed/State say: BFYTW
 
Another tragedy because Progressive leftists want to disarm the law abiding population. The mother of this mentally ill woman is an outspoken gun control advocate and worked to prevent school carry.

 
Shooter dead, situation deescalated. Next step is to go to dead shooter's house and investigate. OK, sounds reasonable.

Do you think they knock on the door or try and get the parents to open the door. Nope, let's use a ram to smash the door and then for good measure we'll throw some flash grenades into the house. Not sure what they expected to find in the house as far as armed/active resistance but seems excessive to me.

I'm really getting sick of LEO blatantly destroying private property when not necessary and then hiding behind immunity laws to not pay for repairs to said property.
