Parkland dad uncovers how district enabled deranged student-turned-shooter

Wait - seriously? English is really not Charles' first language?

I could be wrong. I thought he said he was in Europe somewhere and I thought he mentioned English wasn't his native language. I guess he can confirm or deny.

This is why we used to have mental hospitals.

This is the kind of discussion we need to be having because there have been enough massacres in recent years that we need to at least try to do something about it, and I don't think changing gun laws is likely to achieve that. But the obvious question here is what do you do with a kid like this? My fear (and observation from my past life as a substitute teacher) is that shuffling kids into alternative education settings just surrounds troubled kids with even worse influences.My cynical side thinks alternative education more about protecting the general population of students from kids like this. And just kicking the kid out of the education system altogether isn't likely to go much better either. There's no easy answer.

That surprised me, too, as I would rate his English skills as excellent.

I forgot english isn't his first language. Maybe he actually took what MM said at face value, instead of using sarcasm.

Both the Parkland and Orlando shooters were so deep on the FBI's radar, you'd almost think they intentionally allowed it to happen. You have to really extend a level of incompetence that's hard to imagine.

All in the name of "but it's all about guns!"

It's more fun when busybodies like Chuck don't realize it's sarcasm.

I object to sarcasm tags as a matter of principle.



*Unless they were used ironically, in some obscure self-referential joke. That would be ok.

For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

Some people really need to learn to use the sarcasm tags...

Who claimed that? Can you give us the exact quote?

[Sparko]

Ok. I am looking forward to seeing him support his statement then.

It was a sarcastic comment Chuck. Exactly what do you think he needs to support? That psychopaths use other means than guns to kill people? You need support for THAT? Really? Are you that ignorant? Or are you dumb enough to think he really was saying that no psychopaths have ever used any other means but guns? He was being sarcastic.

Stop with your incessant demands that everyone has to answer to you. You are just trolling again.

He just gave you an exact quote because HE said it.
