This blasphemy violates the agenda. Please report to your nearest re-education center immediately.

What’s with the photo? Not from yesterday and not from 1927.

Vicious attack: A disgruntled taxpayer, Andrew Kehoe, set off 500 pounds of dynamite he had planted inside the Bath schoolhouse on May 18, 1927.

IIRC, Kehoe had been a maintenance man at the school because his farm wasn’t producing and felt he should be a member of the school’s board (with a raise in pay). When he was denied, he hatched a plan six months in the making. When the school experienced furnace problems, he had access to limited areas in the bowels of the school where he could plant the dynamite and connect them to a couple of timers.

Only one of the timers went off, sparing the lives of many of the children. Kehoe intended to show up as one of the rescuers but found, instead, that his school board nemesis and many others were still alive which led to the final confrontation.

What the media never likes to talk about is how the media actually causes school shootings. The universal motivation for school shooters is to achieve some type of immortality by racking up a high body count because they know the leftist media will then cover them endlessly, seeking to use the story in their push for gun control. So the leftist media’s political agenda ends up encouraging the same acts they decry.

The talk shows and the media are busy blaming guns and milking the incident shifting the blame when they should be furthering the need for student security.

One who comes to mind is John Howell of am890 WLS Chicago. Which prompted the inspiration for the following observations who got it so wrong left me screaming at my radio.

In this facilities case, their security system should be brought to public discussion particularly if this school was a so called “gun free zone” .Which prohibited security from having guns. Plus examine records reporting how student altercations and petty thefts which are bound to occur were being dealt with.

Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed. In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside.

So Doc’s are going to start reporting that anybody with guns need mental evaluation and more than likely will need to be committed.

Never let a crisis go to waste right?

"...the perpetrator of the crime, local school board member Andrew Kehoe,..."

He was a school board treasurer. He was mad about his defeat in an election for township clerk and receiving a notice of foreclosure on his mortgage.

"No government can provide perfect safety to all of its citizens."

True. Meanwhile, left-leaning political folks continue to pass more laws and regulations to turn our nation towards communism and make it immensely more dangerous for everyone.

Kehoe was a psychopath like Cruz.

Too many.
