COACH FEIS

The football assistant coach Aaron Feis who was also a security person at the school and died blocking the kids with his body SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARMED.

According to Feis’ Facebook page, he lived in Coral Springs and was a fan of Ronda Rousey and Tim Tebow, the TV show “Duck Dynasty” and the movie “Faith of Our Fathers.” Among his posts were a quote from Billy Graham, “A coach will impact more young people in a year than the average person does in a lifetime,” and tributes to the U.S. military and an advertisement for a “Concealed Carry Jacket” with a handgun poking out of a pocket.

So Coach Feis Could have saved most of the kids…Coach Feis SHOULD HAVE saved all those people.

But Coach Feis WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY HIS LICENSED PISTOL.

And from the stories being circulated yours represents a minority of cases where the prescription was medically necessary.

Yes! I’ve been making the same points for years. We have a prison-law enforcement-social services industrial complex created by the War on Drugs.

Coach Feis should have been armed. 1 isn’t enough if he’s taking a leak.

I agree...in a school that big there should have been 10 or 12 at least..

Or, actually a locked, stocked gun safe in every classroom would be better

News to me that Republican’s tried to link the opioid “crisis” to sanctuary cities..... I’m calling B.S. on this “news.”

I would limit armed employees to those who would care to train to handle weapons. Lots of literature and art teachers might not want to but perhaps math and science and sports teachers would.

I’m obviously going to offend a few ramboesque ballet teachers with my broad brush. So be it.

yours represents a minority of cases

And you may be right, most people are pussies and want pain pills for the slightest inconvenience, I am the exact opposite.

without Open Borders the Drug War is over.

Not quite - much marijuana and synthetics have long been domestically produced. But you're right about heroin and cocaine.

Any “news”, article, opinion piece, commentary, etc., coming from a source in california is going to consist of only a few socialist-democrat talkimg points:

1. Whatever it is, it will be pro-illegal.

2. Whatever it is, it will be pro-mexico.

3. Whatever it is, it will be pro-sanctuary.

4. Whatever it is, it will be a socialist-democrat talking point.

5. Whatever it is, it will be anti pro-American.

6. Whatever is is, it will be anti-Trump.

7. And whatever it is, it will be a big middle finger to the other 49 states.

At this point, I would support a US military occupation of california, take back control of the state from the mexican occupiers, and revert the state back to territorial status until the mexican marxist reconquista invaders are purged.
