    All cons know how to do is victim blame. When they “suggest” things like teachers should be armed or kids should have bullet proof backpacks, what they really mean is that “Bad things wouldn’t happen if the sheep weren’t so weak.” The sheep being anyone whose not a self righteous nutjob like them.

      And it also feeds into a market. Think about it, the bulletproof backpack companies may be getting some new purchases, godforbid they actually do the guns in class thing, the gun lobbies will be raking it in. Body armor and other accessories for police will be sold more bc the only thing being talked about on the right about these shootings is the need for MORE police budgets, despite the fact that we spend nearly twice as much on police budgets as China, we spend 428 Billion and we have about 1 billion less people than them. More policing doesn’t change the fact that we have so many police officers murdering innocents and brutalizing people who could be de-escalated
