I've been listening to all the liberal crap from the left about school shootings and the "blame"
being placed on Pres. Trump, the NRA, the Second Amendment, ad-nauseaum.
I've also heard countless ideas on how to "solve" the shooting problem from all sides and I
realize that NOBODY has mentioned the true and (when you know it, obvious) cause.
When did these school shootings start? When did "zero tolerance" policies in schools start?
Ah-ha! Interesting! Both started more or less at the same time!
When I went to high school in the early 1970's, we didn't have "zero tolerance" policies and
we didn't have school shootings.
For example, when a bully challenged another student, the two met in the schoolyard after
classes, a ring of students formed around them, maybe a teacher or two attended just to
make sure things didn't get out of hand and the fight began.
A swing here, a punch there, a bloody nose or a black eye and it was over. In most cases,
the two guys shook hands afterwards. The idea was to show the bully that you weren't
a coward, and the bully never bothered the kid again.
At home (or at school), we
never "ratted" on anyone. That was our "law". We told our
parents "we tripped and hit the doorframe" or some other baloney. They knew full well it
was a fight, but they let it slide. No police, no lawsuits, no desire for revenge, no knives
or guns. It was OVER.
Today's schools still, of course, have bullies, but there is now the threat of suspension
or expulsion if one stands up to the bully. And of course, somehow the bully always
manages to taunt without being caught.
The end result? The bully picks on a kid and the kid can do nothing. The bullying
continues day after day, week after week and finally the victim can't take it any longer.
So, he steals dad's gun, brings it to school and proceeds to get payback. He shoots the
bully. He shoots the bully's girlfriend. He shoots the girl who wouldn't go on a date
with him. He shoots the teachers who gave him a C when (in his mind) it should have
been a B. He shoots anyone else who even remotely ever angered him because he knows
that now he's gone too far and has to get them ALL in this one opportunity.
And, of course, due to the "Gun Free Victims Zone" signs and policies of the school, there
is no one else armed to stop him. He just shoots until he's out of ammo.
Then everyone says "I can't believe it... Johnny was such a QUIET boy!" and "we need more
gun laws". Nobody notices that
Johnny was pushed past his breaking point and nobody
notices that there already WERE laws against assault and murder and they didn't work.
It's not a "psychological" problem. Johnny didn't need drugs or counseling. There was
NOTHING wrong with him. All he needed was a chance to LEGALLY do what every man
needs to do at one time or another - STAND UP FOR HIMSELF. Deny him that and you
eventually get a shooting. Doesn't take a PhD in Psychology to see that.
Want to solve the school shooting problem? Take all the rabid liberal left wing politicians
who came up with "zero tolerance" policies and made them into law and torture them to
death. That's the least they deserve for all the blood on their hands.
