Mom tells school board she'll bring 'loaded' guns to oppose mask mandates in Virginia

A woman upset about her child’s school requiring masks told district officials that she would come armed to oppose to the school’s mandates.

The Virginia mother’s comments at the Page County Public Schools Board meeting, recorded and streamed live on Thursday, Jan. 20, have spurred a police investigation, according to the Luray Police Department.

The woman begins her comments by explaining how in a previous meeting, she was unable to finish her prepared statement past the allotted three minutes that each citizen is allowed to speak during the public comment section. She says that when she continued to speak past her time, a public official requested backup to arrest her.

This meeting, she’s seen getting cut off at three minutes again, and it’s what she says after that sparked law enforcement’s interest.

and 6 assholes on the Supreme Court.

Plus, I bet even Jesus is siding with her. "Suffer the little kids."

I get your point and share your frustration with the RW Crazy,, but when Jesus said "Suffer the little children to come unto me", he wasn't advocating pain. The word "suffer" was being used to mean "allow", as in "sufferage" and " sufferagette".

George obviously misused the word too.

FWIW, research shows priests are no more likely to molest children than clergy of other religions, or men in general.

why they arrest someone at a peaceful demonstration, but someone like this isn’t arrested?
America today I suppose.

immediately arrested. If she carries out her threat and shoots people the first question asked will be why didn't someone do something.
