Way to go,
Lee Paige Award finalist. But notice how many headlines simply identify the negligent f*** as a "teacher," bolstering the armed "Only Ones" good / armed teachers bad notion. So how convenient the story also mentions:
The shooting occurs amid intense debate over whether to arm teachers in the wake of the Parkland, Fla. shooting...
Where is he politically? Information takes time to dig, so we can look at the company he's been known to keep. I did find out he was a
Peace Corps volunteer, which suggests "progressive" sympathies. I further found he
teamed up with other collectivists to end Prop 13 corporate property tax exemptions to redistribute the wealth they create to public schools, and that group
endorsed a host of anti-gun Democrats, publicizes "
Resistagrams,"
endorsed California's Disarmageddon, and now
calls for nationwide citizen disarmament in the wake of Parkland.
He also had the
endorsement of the Central Coast Labor Council, which features praise for Hillary and condemnation for Trump
on its website.
Pardon me if I smell something other than an "accident" -- something that went wrong with unintended collateral damage. It seems to me an in-depth and transparent investigation is in order.
UPDATE: Yeah, the
gun-grabbers are exploiting this alright. I guess that means "progressive" cops should not be armed...? These people are such shameless liars.
