Some guy has been walking around my neighborhood with an AR-15 strapped to his back, apparently waiting for people to call the cops on him. When the police arrive he videotapes them and yells about his 2nd Amendment rights to open carry. The police sent out a statement that basically says he's not breaking any laws but is clearly an asshole.

Quotes from a local TV news site:
"I was sitting in my classroom and I heard really loud booms, but I really didn't know what they were at first," a student said. "Then, I realized what they were when I heard screaming.""I never thought it would happen here," said Tyler Turner."It hurts my heart to see this happening," another student said. "I don't feel safe in this town anymore ... There was nothing we could do but run."
"I never thought it would happen here," said Tyler Turner.
"It hurts my heart to see this happening," another student said. "I don't feel safe in this town anymore ... There was nothing we could do but run."
Saw on FB that a friend's husband who works part-time at the school is safe. He was driving in at the time and was told to turn around.

yeah, there's a brief window of opportunity to pander to the NRA these days, you can't blame them for taking advantage. after a major shooting it's polite to wait a few weeks so it doesn't look like you're supporting the people who make money off of people dying too much. but then of course the next big one could be any day so you can't wait too long to pander, either. it's not easy for them

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/05/18/2018-has-been-deadlier-for-schoolchildren-than-service-members/
The school shooting near Houston on Friday bolstered a stunning statistic: More people have been killed at schools this year than have been killed while serving in the military.Initial estimates put the number killed at Santa Fe High School at eight, but even without those deaths, nearly twice as many people were killed at schools than in the military. (The figures for the military were compiled from Defense Department news releases and include both combat and noncombat deaths.) Including only students who died in school shootings (excluding, for example, teachers) the total still exceeds military casualties.A large part of that is the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14. Without those 17 deaths, the totals for the two groups are about the same.This is not usually the case. In 2017, the number of fatalities among service members was far higher than the number of people killed in school shootings, according to The Washington Post data.
