    You never cease to amuse me with your complete ignorance when it comes to the law and government, Jimmy.

      And theology.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      • I predict this will be a major twist to the discussion about arming teachers:

        A Georgia teacher has been arrested following a standoff after firing a weapon inside a (otherwise empty) classroom:

                What are you implying?

                All I said it's going to affect the trajectory of the discussion.

                    Implying nothing - we know precious little about this person.

                    UPDATE: A teacher fired at least one shot in a classroom at Dalton High School Wednesday. Police say a witness heard gunfire and reportedly called police.

                    At least one shot was fired from his handgun, according to Dalton police. No students were in the classroom, according to police. The weapon has been recovered.

                    The teacher at the school was taken into custody, with no injury to him or police after a short standoff with the classroom door locked. The teacher later surrendered to police.

                    Students were evacuated from the school. One student was injured in the evacuation and hurt their ankle.

                    Was he/she, indeed, a teacher? It would seem so. What's their record? Would they have been considered for "arming" in anybody's universe? Where they already problematic? Where they allowed to be armed? Where they trained?

                      Actually, you called it a "major twist" - which it may be, but we don't know that yet.

                          They keep saying "a shot" or "shots fired". And this was a situation where the teacher supposedly barricaded himself in an empty classroom, the principal was there, a shot was fired, and he (the principal) evacuated the school.

                            • So, as more info comes in, this sounds like an isolated incident not even involving students....



                              The only injury is one girl sprained her ankle leaving the building.

                                Well, we're talking specifics, so what is it that I said in the above that you find to be ignorant?
