Across the country, school districts are quietly arming teachers for the next shooting

Stand by for further incidents of gun deaths and injury at schools. The only people I want armed at my kids schools are cops.

Having said that, I went to a high school (way too long ago) where there were armed security guards, but it wasn't to protect against active shooters, it was for gang violence and property crime prevention.

"Elizabeth Warren Demands Investigation Into President Obama’s Failure to Jail the Banksters"


"In a letter sent to Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general Michael Horowitz on Thursday, the progressive firebrand demanded an investigation into why the DOJ refused to file criminal charges against individuals despite “‘serious indications of violation’ of federal securities and other laws,” uncovered by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) probe into the causes of the economic crash."

Teachers molesting children is something to worry about...not uncommon.
Many schools have teachers trained to use guns.
As I said your story was disturbing. The good news? No one was injured and one of the children who found the gun did the correct thing and notified an adult.
I gotta believe this child was trained as to what to do when they come across a gun.
The teacher did the right thing and resigned.
The teacher serving up cream filled cookies did far more harm to students than this now retired teacher did by leaving her pistol in the jon.
So how many children have been gunned down by teachers qualified to carry guns? None?
Next!

Your "No" answer is a guess. You don't know the answer.
 
Johnson / Weld look terrible on 60 mins. last night. That probably was there last chance to make a positive impression on America.

I didn't think it was so bad. They looked like guys you would like to have living in your neighborhood.

Sure, as a neighbor, not running our Country. I have a lot of neighbors who don't possess the knowledge and charisma needed to get stuff done in Government, just like these two clowns showed us last night.

Both of them have been successful state governors. Weld, running as a moderate Republican in heavily liberal Democrat Massachusetts, did so well in his first term that his re-election got 71% of the vote. Johnson started in business with a small construction company, made it big, and then funded his own campaign to overcome early opposition by establishment New Mexico Republicans. In his 2 terms as governor, he fought the legislature's spending with vetoes and line vetoes, effectively moving money into education funds.
 
Fair enough. They seem reasonable, but it's really tough for me to get over GJ's two glaring fuck ups. The "no actual crimes were committed" line and what's Allepo are tough to recover from.

The real crime in the background of the Wall St collapse was Congress gutting financial regulations that had kept the economy solid for 70 years. As for the Aleppo brainfart, he admittted it as an error and did not shirk responsibility.

There were many reasons for the financial crisis but criminal fraud and misrepresentation was certainly near the top of the list.

And you're right he did own that mistake and didn't try to backpedal much, so that was actually a refreshing change from what we normally get in politics. My problem was he didn't know what Allepo was to begin with.

So your committed to voting for a pathological liar, good for you.
Sometime knowledge and charisma is nothing more than arrogance and conceit which pretty much sums up Clinton & Trump.
Humble and unassuming would be a refreshing change....
