Why why why are people so accepting

[boston bean]

of having our schools become prisons?!

That is not America. That is not freedom. That is not safety.

It is plain and simple the end of freedom.

I didn’t go to school with armed guards or even locked doors.

What has changed??

One thing has changed.

Access to a guns with high capacity magazines for everyone. The supreme court and GWB and republicans allowing the awb ban to lapse.

1. "allowing the awb ban to lapse" was good for bidness!

Now watch this drive!

[SHRED]

2. Because they don't want this...

Ban weapons of war and then regulate the shit out of handguns and hunting rifles.

This isn't rocket science folks.

3. It's Trump's wet dream

To make the USA into a military state.

Armed guards patrolling our schools, malls, sporting events, etc.

Every American armed with a gun.

ICE brutally arresting good, decent, people, deporting mom's and dads away from their little children. Rousting people out of their homes.

Encouraging us to "report suspicious activity."

Truly frightening.

4. K & R. Every line of this OP is the plain, blunt truth. n/t

5. Longer ago, kids like Cruz would not be in school

I recall a couple kids who were hostile, disciplinary problems, bullies, always picking fights. But after 9th grade they were no longer in school.
