Expel the students - they’re there to learn not become socialized union activists. This nonsense is getting out of hand.

And no one will bring up mental illness, no one! The school board decided to implement a program to save these troubled mentally ill students from being institutionalized and jailed. He was suspended for having ammunition in his back pack yet the school board decided not to tell the police because of their destructive liberal pc progressive mental illness, ENOUGH! THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE AND SO IS THE FBI UPPER CLASS

The Deep State fools’ hope springs eternal. This time they figure they have choreographed the ‘perfect storm’ that will push the country over the finish line - nullification of the Second Amendment. Then on to their nirvana Communist dictatorship.

I heard that the mental hospital patient population today is about 5% of what it was in the 1950's. So we stopped putting those people in mental hospitals to prevent from harming others and now we put them in jail AFTER they harm somebody. In this case 17 somebodies.

We need comprehensive common sense mental health reform; now. Put the potentially crazy people behind a wall to protect the population.

"Harming them" does injustice to the act. The unarmed innocents were murdered in cold blood.

Once again the “no minds” are barking up the wrong tree as the fools protest the wrong reason. Protest that mistake of not treating and/or confining people with mental illnesses.

A gun is nothing more than a tool. Its NOT THE GUN that kills people its the shooter.

we used to put cross dressing, homo’s in these nut houses, but he left did not want that and wanted the nut houses closed whilst they ignored the mental illness.
Today they now tell ids it is alright to be different, and now we reap what they have sowed.

Better than trying to learn something or take a test. The lunatics running our asylums. Typical commie BS.

School officials should cancel school on the day of the fake protests and have them make up the day at the end of the school year.

Exactly what gun law would have prevented this tragedy?

The one that says felons , the mentally ill, and people under restraining orders are prohibited from owning guns.

Unfortunately, none of these would have applied to Nikolas Cruz who despite 39 police contacts at his home and threats made on-line under his real name that he was going to shoot up a school, managed to avoid ever receiving any police record whatsoever.

The Pussy Hat brigade is trying to hijack this.

Which is frustrating because these kids have a right to be pissed off! They raised every flag they could about psycho Nikolas Cruz and nobody would listen. They were failed at every level.

And now the pussy-hat bitches get to waltz in and say, We'll take it from here."

“And no one will bring up mental illness, no one! “

Care must be taken not to conflate the blanket term “mental illness” with raw evil.

What is curious about this is the 39 visits by the cops to the residence. Every single one of those should have had a police report that went into the system and discussed the kid’s issues.

I would say this. In the German system where you have to pass the doctor’s review/drugs used review...he wouldn’t have gotten a license. On the 39 visits by the cops? The reports would have been noted in the license process, and he wouldn’t have gotten the German weapon license because of the threats conveyed to his mother.

The problem here is if you take mass shooters and the last 300 events....I think virtually all of them passed the background checks. So it makes wonder why even bother with the checks...they accomplish little to nothing.

So...let me get this straight. A spoiled, deviant sociopath shoots up a school, and the appropriate response is a group indulgence in spoiled, deviant sociopathic behavior.

If gun control works so well then they should all move to those glorious gun-free cities of Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland because it works so well there.

Go ahead and skip school to protest snowflakes. You can’t get any more ignorant than you already are.

If gun laws worked the USA would have been crime free after 1968.

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-Lyndon Johnson on signing the 1968 Gun Control act into law.
