“How to create a choke point through which you can fire indiscriminately and be guaranteed to hit something at school opening or closing”
Not to dunk on the article too much, but it’s a little disheartening that a good portion of the text is devoted to people talking about how expensive changing schools to fit these clowns stupid ideas would be. Yeah I’m sure winging about the cost is a great look when talking about a school shooting.
There’s also actual points like talking about logistics, the fact that the place has to function as a school rather than an impenetrable fortress, etc. but it takes until the last fucking paragraph for someone to say the obvious, and even then it sounds so toothless:
We’re just not going to the foundation of the issue. We’re just planting a Band-Aid solution
My point is that ideally journalists should just quote Ted Cruz verbatim and follow that with a large sequence of clown emojis and call it a day, instead of taking him seriously.

The public system is already cash strapped. And the 2019 bill that pushed similar ideas wasn’t fully funded, so it just displaced the costs into the districts.
Any absurdist plan that further syphons money from education to some quixotic plan for bunker schools absolutely should be treated like one more effort to defund the system.
everyone is gonna die in a fucking fire you fucking idiots
:honk-enraged: AAAAAA
Isn’t the elephant in the room that a ridiculously beyondo absurd suggestion like the won Cruz made isn’t completely and utterly ridiculed by the “media”?
The fact that they just print this shit, but then allow it to stand - without completely, scathingly discrediting it from the get-go, is a joke.
Until someone in the media stops playing the phony, insincere and cop-out “we’re just unbiasedly reporting the news” and lights into this bullshit we’ll all still be stuck in this deja vu nightmare of another narrowed debate around what some absolutely heinous, deprived monster beholden to the NRA who makes his living throwing red meat to reactionaries
As long as not one high-profile MSM “journalist” will call out this kind of bullshit for what it is - beyond the bounds of absurdity (for all the reasons stated in this thread, and that any thinking person would immediately conclude) - then we’re just doomed to have this same dumb, predictable hyper-partisan argument over and over again without anything getting done.
Simply put, the easy access to and abundance of guns in American society ensures this will happen again and again.
All the other shit is distraction.
