But they nailed it, again.

What’s dark is that it seems to be the mindset at schools nowadays.

DENVER (AP) — A 16-year-old boy who had been radicalized by an unspecified “extremist network” fired a revolver multiple times during an attack at a suburban Denver high school that wounded two students, authorities said Thursday.

Some students ran and others locked down during Wednesday’s shooting at Evergreen High School in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. One of the victims was shot inside the school and another outside.

The suspect in Evergreen, student Desmond Holly, shot himself at the school and later died, said Jefferson County sheriff’s office spokesperson Jacki Kelley. The county was also the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre that killed 14 people.

the Onion.............

it's legal to open carry, so why get freaked out when you see a guy with a gun?

USA!!

I grew up in Amarillo a half century ago it wasn't that uncommon to see a gun in the gun rack of a truck parked in the parking lot of the high school, or the junior college.
Drug and alcohol use was pretty common too, and the rate of violent crime has always been high.
Looking back it seems that there are downsides to that way of life. Almost a quarter of my high school class didn't live to see 65.

Then nobody knows if any given person has evil intentions. And if an evil person positions themselves in a defensible location, they are going to be able to get shots off before any of the "good guys with with guns" can respond. And then if the good guys are firing back when the authorities arrive, they can't necessarily immediately be sure who are the good and bad guys.

But hey, these kinds of scenarios are worth it, right Chuck?

It’s so bad that even that is funny now.

then it dawned. DOH!

Sadly believable.

This jumped out at me.

“It’s chilling that a person we thought was a normal, unhinged campus shooter was actually a political assassin. You see a deranged guy with a rifle on the quad every day."

And yes, they absolutely nailed it and I thought the quotes were real for a second.
Well done.
