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.

“The concept that mental illness is a precursor to violent behavior is nonsense,” said Dr. Louis Kraus”

My expert opinion is that a person has gotta be pretty effed in the head to shoot a bunch of schoolchildren.

The Doctor sounds like he is defending the medical profession’s decisions to let mentally ill people roam around.

"By the way, this guy bought a shotgun. Which is not an "assault weapon", but will still kill you very dead."

In the confines of a school hallway a 12 gauge shotgun and a fanny pack filled with shells would be a much more devastating weapon than an AR-15. Not even close.

Six adults from Sandy Hook used their unarmed bodies to shield 20 school kids from Adam Lanza. Very brave, but not very effective.

Evidently, this is still the response promoted by the left.

The gun grabbers don’t care. Gun control would stop those suicides you know, because none of those people who were sick enough they wanted to kill themselves would ever think of poison, jumping off a bridge, or swerving their cars into an overpass.

The media and establishment would rather rally the public to deal with the symptom than to the disease because of their agenda.

Uphill battle ahead.

There was a young man we rented apartment to in the early 80s. His brother was a friend of mine and he asked us to keep a eye on him. Jimmy was sometimes very outgoing and cheerful and sometimes he would not come out of the apartment except to go to work.
His parents had split up when he was young, but he was the youngest and they’d had all they could stand.
All Jimmy’s brothers were working on becoming successful, in their own way. Jimmy, stuck in the past, used to call me and my live in long term girl “mom and dad”. I being young and green didn’t see the pattern, but did report the weeks Jimmy was isolating himself to my friend. Jimmy moved in with his brother after a week or two at the asylum, which was what the doctor ordered. Meanwhile my girl and I decided to tie the knot. I went to my friends house on a Friday night for a impromptu bachelor party, nothing to it. We smoked and drank a few beers watching a movie. Jimmy went outside, then came back in and said “hey guys, come out here and look at the stars with me for a minute” We replied we would be out in a minute, we’re almost through with Ghostbusters. “Ok” he said, smiling and shut the door. In about 3 minutes we heard a loud noise, as if a spacerock struck the top of the trailer. John stood up and cried out his brother’s name and ran out side. I followed. The worst sight I’ve ever seen and may God spare me any worse.
This story posted brought this back hard, but your ideas ring true to me. I was told the meds were helping Jimmy, who was a nice young man but just never took off and flew. I’ll be saying a few more prayers for Jimmy’s soul

1) Stop overprescribing drugs
2) Arm security personnel in schools
3) Get parents to be parents and not have government schools be parents

The medical lore is that doctors go into psychiatry to try and cure themselves. (Generally unsuccessfully.)

If we conflate urban gang violence with rampage killings, and conflate homicides with suicides, I guess. But young Black gangsters fighting over drug territory or old White men with chronic pain or cancer who shoot themselves aren't the problem here.

The problem is bat**** crazies who murder innocents. The Black gangsters and old White guys have sane and rational reasons to do what they do, the school shooters don't.

Chicago's total is up to 309 shootings and 70 homicides for 2018. Does the doctor even care?

Bean bag rounds can work. So can rubber bullets. It’s way, way better than nothing.

Exactly. How is killing innocent people not an indication of some form of mental illness? I guess Dr. Kraus thinks double-digit killing is a sane act? If so, I'm concerned about his mental state. Seriously, he thinks it is a rational decision to plan and execute multiple murders?

Recipe for school shootings:

Take a low status male with high levels of testosterone.
Add a does of mental instability.
Sprinkle him up with an SSRI
Stand back and watch madness unfold.

The Smoking Gun In Mass Shootings

The "smoking gun" is not the gun.

Was the shooter obsessed with violent video games, television shows, or movies? Leftists in Hollywood and video game companies continue to pump out gratuitous violence called “entertainment”. Does the absorption of thousands of hours of graphic violence desensitize some people to violence and anti social behavior?

I tell my leftist friends I’ll start being concerned about gun control when the Hollywood elites start talking about banning violence from movies and games.

Here is the answer to your question. YES11111

Gold said that Cruz escaped his misery by playing video games for eight, 12, even 15 hours a day. Gold, who owns a film and video production company, sometimes would play a game or two with them.
“It was kill, kill, kill, blow up something, and kill some more, all day,”
he said.
