    Another School Shooting

    This one doesn't fit the narrative, either.

    However, there seem to be a lot of school shootings lately.

    What "narrative" are you looking for? Can't find it at the moment but FNC had a link earlier today that I believe listed 9 shootings since January 2017.

    The motives I read were, shooter bullied, girlfriend broke up with shooter, husband kills wife and wounds students in her class, etc.

    I do not know if there is ever a narrative for a "random" crime. Unless you are a serial killer.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    12 year old with handgun, inside the most gun-control state in the nation (commiefornia), inside a city with even more gun control regulations (Los Angeles), in a gun free zone no less.

    Yep, with prayers for those injured, fake news at it's best. This cannot happen in a state with such gun control, in a city with even more gun control, and in a gun free zone.

    The "narrative" I'm referring to is a well-planned, white supremacist, shooter who uses a black rifle (which the Left is doing its best to outlaw) to mow down countless people who could have been upstanding citizens if they had only lived in places where people had no access to hi-cap magazines, guns that fire continuously without reloading and who, out of the goodness of there heart, take their own lives when they are done killing innocents.

    As anyone can see, this doesn't fit the Left's narrative, so they wont use it the way they normally would.

    These situations are shitty all around, any crime is. I don't condone violence unless it's life or death situation. However I do understand what it's like to be bullied, and treated like shit. Lots of that happened to me when I was a kid in school, and even sometimes recently. It takes self control to see yourself through those things. These kids need to learn not to mess with the different kids, maybe try to understand some people's lives just outright suck. And be respectful to everyone, you never know who's who, and what others are capable of. Some people just can't deal with bs. Too many people these days demand respect, don't earn it, and definitely don't give it. I've lost jobs to situations concerning someone being a total asshole. Example, I was working at a factory making plastic car parts not long ago. There was this dude that was a total piece of shit, threatening and calling people dirty names, N word, C word to a lot of people. I won't use those words, they are dirty. Anyways off and on for about 4 months this dude was just all in my face, he felt he could because I was still within my probationary period. To him I was respectful, yes sir, no sir attitude. I went to several managers, several times over this period, they spoke with him and he didn't change, other people had the same problem. At least once a week. I was there 9 months total, and saw a lot from different people about this dude. Anyways if someone said something back about it he would go crying to the boss. So he finally crossed the line with me, after all I tried to do to avoid it. Then he pushed me and said some more things. I got hostile, since that's assault and all. I said some things and told him how it was going to end if he put his hands on me again. To put it short, I told him he would die, and that I am well capable at any time to make it happen. Immediately afterwards I went to the shop manager and explained the situation fully, even where I was in the wrong of making the threat. Word for word lots of cursing. I wasn't going to lie, or with hold information. I informed the boss man that I carry, and he knew I did anyways just was cool and didn't say shit about it. We talked a lot about hunting and guns, and archery a lot between ourselves on breaks anyways. They asked me to report to work the next day to face the music basically and I did. Both myself and asshole dude got fired for the conflict. Which I find acceptable and fair. I'm willing to own up, and be responsible and pay for everything I say and do. Everything has a price. Whether it be money, pride, humility, or blood. It has to be really bad to pay with the last of those.
    Unfortunately kids feel invincible and do stupid things, and don't realize it until it's too late. Prayers to the innocent lives damaged in these acts of unnecessary violence that could have probably been avoided if people treated others better.

    Seems the latest slant on this is the girl took the gun to school thinking it was a toy. Shootings were unintentional.

    OK

    I just read an article that says the gun went off from inside her backpack. Bullet when through a girls wrist before hitting the boy in the head. Interesting. The police are trying to figure out where the gun came from. Believe it or not, in California where you have to register all handguns, this gun was apparently not registered. Not sure how that happens when there is a law saying you have to do it.

    Its totally weird that a girl took a gun to school. Most of the time it seems to be troubled boys.

    What caliber? Nothing in the article mentioned that.

    Nope, but they all make sure to mention that is was a semi-automatic.
