TV Show 'Glee' Depicts School Shooting
Yahoo! News / ABC News ^ | April 12, 2013 | Arlette Saenz

Less than four months since 20 children and six educators were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the television show "Glee" depicted a school shooting in Thursday night's episode.

The episode, titled "Shooting Star," began with a disclaimer reading, "This episode of 'Glee' addresses the topic of school violence. Viewer discretion is advised."

Halfway through the episode, Will Schuester, the glee club coach played by Matthew Morrison, gathered his students in the choir room to begin their practice.

"Let's get started," he said, clapping his hands together as a gunshot was heard in the background. A second shot rang out and Schuester and a coach ran to shut the door to the choir room. They quickly moved students to secure spots in the classroom, hiding them behind speakers or in far corners.

"Start texting, tweeting, let everyone know what's going on but don't tell them we're here. Alright? Shooters have smart moves too," Schuester said to the teenagers.

"I love you guys," he told them.

For ten harrowing minutes, the students and two teachers were trapped in the classroom, sending texts to their loved ones and filming videos of each other in case they didn't survive. One student tried to leave the room when he realized his girlfriend was missing, but the teachers restrained him before he can leave.

In a different scene, one cheerleader stood atop a toilet in case the shooter tried to enter the restroom. She and two other students were eventually rescued by Schuester, and the SWAT team rescued the students trapped in the choir room.....

I fully expect the left to start quoting the events in the TV show as if they really happened.

It was an accident, the girl with Downs Syndrome brought it to school and dropped it and it accidentally went off.
The episode was really good. Heather Morris and Chord Overstreet were great. In that part of the episode, there was no music to set the atmosphere or anything, just the ticking of a metronome. I liked it.

No surprise ... “Glee” is the queerest show on TV, 100% leftist propaganda.

dropped it and it accidentally went off.

Guns being dropped and "going off" are a steaming pile of bullcrap that exist in the minds of leftists.

To be accurate, was the shooter a deranged anti-Christian Democrat?

Well, that was in the episode, and I watched it. I was just letting people know who the shooter was and what was going on. My take away was the people with Downs Syndrome don’t need to bring guns to school.

Did the show make a rational conclusion that if a Admin. was packing, the students/teachers would have at least a fighting chance instead of peeing in their pants?

Seems like it was a twofer, how easy a Down Syndrome could get their hands on a gun and the fact it was a Downs Syndrome individual scaring the crap out of everybody.

I give it 10 out of 10 Turkeys.

My guess is that most of the ‘Glee's’ cast would “tame” the gun by turning it into a dildo along with the bullets acting as Ben Wa Balls for the females.

Well, that was in the episode,

OK ... so the show is propagating yet another leftist boogieman. With one common exception (historically correct copies of the original 1873 Colt SAA revolver), dropped guns don't "go off".

They just don't ... they're very carefully designed not to.

My takeaway from your description is that the producers of "Glee" don't know their collective arse from a hole in the ground, and are pushing a variety of forms of leftist propaganda.

I was surprised I liked the writing as well. Good Pro 2nd Amend. points were made with little or no bias - something I thought I’d never see on the show. I also agree that Heather and Chord were great. (Did you know that she was pregnant in real life?)

People rip on Glee all they want, but it has a pretty strong pro life message. Every unplanned pregnancy on the show has ended in adoption, and when the popular cheerleader got pregnant, she said “Abortion is not even a consideration”. And the “mean coach” knew her baby would have Downs Syndrome, and didn’t care.

This is the show where kids not having sex are mocked by teachers.
