I mean he’s got a point. Until we as a country decide we need to do more than fuckall about gun violence, then working in a school is going to be, statistically speaking, a job where you are more likely to encounter gun violence than any other non-law enforcement professions

Cops and Firemen are both 20yrs and out with pensions.  Not teachers. Cops and Firemen get paid overtime. 

Money isn't everything, but now that the secret has slipped, perhaps teachers should be paid a eff ton more and get to retire after 20 years of serving their community in a hazardous environment.

Who decides teachers pay and where does the funding come from?

Not a civics professor here but i'm p sure it comes from the same pot of money that pays cops and firemen. cops probably have better unions tho

Well if they weren’t all a bunch of groomers ripping the genitals off their students with impunity then maybe things would be different

I think all the Thin X'ers hate each other, for the most part.  When you are having a good old fashioned Victim Off, usually victims aren't championing other victims.

Very similar incident occurred at an Augusta HS graduation several years ago. 2016 or 2017 I think

Edit: no fat-roll hiding afaik
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I wouldn't think so. I think they need to inspect that machine, asap.

 It's certainly a better spin than " our operators are incompetent" or "we haven't invested any money on proper screening equipment"

As someone who has snuck over a million beers in cans into the K, I can tell you the machines do not pick up aluminum.
