Texas high school shooting 5/18/18

[Hodgie]

Maybe what these kids need is a Bible thrown in front of them instead of a tv remote or game controller.

Too late we chose to get in our hand baskets years ago. Welcome to Hell!

Found this little tidbit. Seems like the school system let another slip through.

An ABC report on Yahoo.

Bryton Sumbles, a former football player for the school, told ABC News that he reported Pagourtzis to teachers in the past because he thought it was odd that he would wear trench coats in 97-degree weather, and he thought it would be easy to hide a gun under the coat. Nothing seemed to come from the report, Sumbles said.

Can you imagine that? Someone asking for the system to just check out the kid because of very odd behavior. I bet there were others too. I wonder how many kids told someone about this murder BEFORE he pulled the trigger today?

no, it's easier to be a scumbag than a good person for some.




Some people can't come to terms with their "quality world" VS reality.

then the alarm is raised and classrooms can be locked down. id rather have him start shooting at the front door rather than make it deep into the school.

That's not how it has played out though. In one case he shot his way through the front door. They don't need a whole lot of time. Or they come in through the back door somehow or pull the fire alarm and people open the door for him. One guy was using the example of courthouses but how much traffic do they have?

These "odd" behaviors stand out only after the fact. Do you know how many ways a high school kid may act weird?

The old GI field telephone can work wonders! And it doesn't need gasoline!

the old TA-1 will definitely do the trick!

Ding Ding ............. we have a winner

And what is wrong with that?

Not wearing a heavy trench coat in 90 degree weather. Not in that part of Texas. WAY too much heat and humidity.

We used to have an old woman who would wander the streets pushing a shopping cart with a long trench coat is the coat, year round. Odd? Hell yeah but she never killed anyone.

My point is we are all slightly twisted in one way or another.

How do you know?
