Lambs lead to the slaughter by the terrorist organization National Rifle Association enabled by the U.S. Government

The NRA is traumatizing each and every child in this country


...EACH AND EVERY CHILD IN THIS COUNTRY

A teacher at the school said he and colleagues had been warned not to allow Mr Cruz onto campus carrying a backpack after he allegedly threatened fellow pupils.


copycat threats being made at other schools today

a coach was killed protecting his students...my son is about to be a grade school coach and I know that is exactly what he would do


The reply by “Sarah” to the US President’s public comment on the mass killing went viral after she urged him to introduce gun control measures instead of platitudes.

Mr Trump had tweeted his “prayers and condolences” to the families of those murdered, adding: “No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.”

The account chaddiedabaddie, which purports to belong to a girl attending Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, near Fort Lauderdale, replied: “I don’t want your condolences you fucking price (sic) of shit, my friends and teachers were shot.

“Multiple of my fellow classmates are dead. Do something instead of sending prayers. Prayers won’t fix this. But Gun control will prevent it from happening again.”

By Thursday morning her message had been retweeted 65,000 times and liked by more than 154,000 people

my youngest son is 4 months away from working as a teacher .....now instead of teaching with his whole heart and soul ...he has to be taught how to kill a student who is killing other students...he has to be taught how to gather all his students into a blacked out gym ....to remain silent while they hear gun shots in the background and police tanks roll into the school parking lot
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.

With this shooting, three of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern United States history have come in the last five months.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... kland.html

While statistics seem to point right at it, I have only seen a few loony they's coming for our guns comments. Of course, it is obviously more likely that police will be given more powers to harass, more armed personnel will be placed on campuses, and there will be a continued uptick in mass shootings. I see no other future unless the NRA is outlawed and guns are put under massive control in the US.

Pro-Gun Russian Bots Flood Twitter After Parkland Shooting

Each new breaking news situation is an opportunity for trolls to grab attention, provoke emotions, and spread propaganda. The Russian government knows this. Fake-news manufacturing teenagers in Macedonia know this. Twitter bot creators know this. And thanks to data-gathering operations from groups like the Alliance for Securing Democracy and RoBhat Labs, the world knows this.

In the wake of Wednesday’s Parkland, Florida school shooting, which resulted in 17 deaths, troll and bot-tracking sites reported an immediate uptick in related tweets from political propaganda bots and Russia-linked Twitter accounts. Hamilton 68, a website created by Alliance for Securing Democracy, tracks Twitter activity from accounts it has identified as linked to Russian influence campaigns. As of morning, shooting-related terms dominated the site’s trending hashtags and topics, including Parkland, guncontrolnow, Florida, guncontrol, and Nikolas Cruz, the name of the alleged shooter. Popular trending topics among the bot network include shooter, NRA, shooting, Nikolas, Florida, and teacher.

As of 4:20pm yesterday every single one of the top ten trending topics being pushed by Russian-linked influence accounts is related to the Parkland, Florida school shooting and/or the shooter, Nikolas Cruz, per SecureDemocracy's Hamilton 68 Dashboard.

Florida’s Department of Education begged GOP lawmakers for a $10 million school safety budget increase for each of the last 3 years but got turned down. Instead, GOP legislators hit Florida public schools statewide with a 24% funding cut for school security since 2007.

Just trolls? Isn't that the job of all media socialites, paid journalists, and the internet in general?

Don't think you can use those seventeen dead kids against me, slad. I'm way more morbid than you.

2 Students Hurt, Shooter Dead After Md. School Shooting
"This is the realization of your worst nightmare — that, in a school, that our children could be attacked," Sheriff Tim Cameron said
By NBCWashington Staff
Published 4 hours ago | Updated 4 minutes ago

A student pulled out a gun and shot two other students at a high school in southeast Maryland Tuesday morning before the shooter was fatally wounded, the St. Mary’s County sheriff says.

The student entered Great Mills High School in Great Mills at the beginning of the school day and shot a female student in a hallway, Sheriff Tim Cameron told News4. A male student also was hit by a bullet.

Everything You Need to Know for DC’s ‘March for Our Lives’

The 16-year-old female student was stabilized and transfered to UM Prince George's Hospital Center, and the 14-year-old male victim is in good condition, according to the MedStar St. Mary's Hospital

The shooter, a male, has died, the sheriff said.

Information was not available immediately on the relationship between the students, Cameron said. A motive is not yet clear.

The shooter and the officer both fired a round, but authorities don't know if the officer's bullet killed the suspect, Cameron said. The officer was not hurt.

"When the shooting took place, our school resource officer, who was stationed inside the school, was alerted to the event and the shots being fired. He pursued the shooter and engaged the shooter, during which that engagement he fired a round at the shooter," Cameron said.

Cameron said the shooter fired a round simultaneously.

"In the days to come, through a detailed investigation, we will be able to determine if our SRO's round struck the shooter," Cameron said.

The school was locked down and the incident was contained, according to the school's website.

Deputies were called to the school about 60 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. just before 8 a.m.

Cameron told News4 that his department prepares for emergencies. But despite the fast reponse of the school resource officer, or SRO, two students were still shot.

"You train to respond to this and you hope that you never ever have to," he said. "This is the realization of your worst nightmare — that, in a school, that our children could be attacked. And so as quickly … as that SRO responded and engaged, there’s grievous injuries to two students."

He added, "Now begins the second phase of this operation, and that’s the background and the investigation and the attempt for the school to return to normal."

A Twitter post from the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office asked parents not to report to the school. They were asked to go to nearby Leonardtown High School to reunite with their children.

Family members of the students parked along roads and in nearby shopping centers as they rushed to meet their kids.

One recent graduate hurried to pick up her sister, who texted her that she was "terrified."

Agents of the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were traveling to the school to assist with the investigation.

Gov. Larry Hogan said he was praying for the victims, their loved ones and the community.

“But prayers are not enough," he continued in a statement. "Although our pain remains fresh and the facts remain uncertain, today’s horrible events should not be an excuse to pause our conversation about school safety. Instead, it must serve as a call to action.”

School Shooting Incidents Since 2013

Everytown.org defines the incidents mapped below as any time a firearm discharges a live round inside or into a school building or on or onto a school campus or grounds, as documented by the press and, when necessary, confirmed through further inquiries with law enforcement or school officials. Incidents in which guns were brought into schools but not discharged are not included.

Last updated on March 20, 2018

President Donald Trump was made aware of the shooting, and the White House is monitoring the incident, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Fox News.

The shooting comes four days before the national March for Our Lives, a rally for student safety inspired by last month’s massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

"We are Here for you, students of Great Mills," Parkland student activist Emma Gonzalez tweeted, adding, "together we can stop this from ever happening again."

Rep. Steny Hoyer, the Democrat who represents the area in Congress, said he was sickened to hear the news about the shooting and advocated for universal background checks for weapons.

"Background checks just make common sense to make sure people can and will use a weapon thoughtfully and not dangerously," he told News4.
