    If ONLY she had a Gun to SHOOT the 6 Year Old before the 6 Year Old SHOT her!

    I think we should arm all the good students with firearms to protect teachers and others from the bad students with guns.

    The underfunded school, or its expensive insurance will pay, raising rates and eroding the service of public education further.

    I found out here in CA public schools are paying several percent of total budget to cover liability from the past where kids were harmed.

    These are not for profit, these are not businesses. When they pay, the taxpayers pay, and the kids lose service.

    But whatever, she got hers. Big smile.

    Zwerner's attorneys said Parker failed to act in the hours before the shooting after several school staff members told her that the student had a gun in his backpack.

    You have to be fucking kidding me. Several people knew there was a 6-yo wandering around with a gun and they felt they had to kick it up the chain to get a response?!

    Yup. It seems crazy to people from other countries, but that's just a thing that happens in the US

    Lots of unsecured firearms and curious children

    I'm a lefty gun nut and secure storage is my only idea that will help and get past the courts. Won't make a huge dent in overall gun deaths, but shit like this is inexcusable. Parents deserve prison time for these events. And I say that as a parent to two young ones who could find myself in front of a jury if I fuck up. Gun safety does not make allowances for "oops".

    He was searched earlier by the victim and the gun wasn't found. If there's a rumor that a 6 y/o has a gun, yes, telling the principal seems like an obvious step somewhere in there. One would expect her to take the possibility seriously.

    Now I'm really lost. As I understand it, kids can't have personal lockers anymore. So where does a 6-yo hide a gun? And then get to it later? From what I've seen with my stepson, and now my own little kids, they're marched around like prisoners, watched every second. Can you tell me more?

    The suit was against the assistant principal of the school. I doubt the assistant principal will be capable of paying $10m, so the teacher likely won't see any of the money. Especially if the assistant principal ends up in prison after the criminal trial.

  • Watch the video, scary shit. Poor woman laying there bleeding and trying to keep cool while paramedics work on her. What a fucked up thing for a kids teacher to deal with

    This is fucked up on so many levels I lost count.

    The really fucked up part is that a 6 year old shot his teacher and I never even fucking heard about it. School shootings have become so commonplace here that the only thing that made this "newsworthy" was the $10 million.
