Seems like a lot of people who usually agree with you think this post is off. I agree with everything you’ve said here completely, as usual. But having read some of the replies to you, I think I’ve concluded that given Capitalism and Ninja’s choice of career, and that it seems his consumers will always tend to be…

As a parent of a current fourth-grader, I object to this demeaning and mean-spirited characterization of fourth grade writing and speaking skills. 

“That this life is worth living” I think that’s the biggest thing when it comes to teenage mass shooters. Easy access to guns is a big part but it’s no easy or small decision to go out in a blaze of destruction, the only reason I can think is these kids have no hope for the future and grow up thinking their lives are…

“What the fuck? The guy grabs the gun, disarms the wannabe killer and then hugs him? This isn’t the US Amercia we want everyone to live in. It’s not even worth expressing empty thoughts and prayers.”

Hownthe fuck is this not being plastered over ever media site and television. This guy is an absolute hero in the realest sense of the word. 

For a second I thought you were being a shit, but I was wrong and just primed for a shitty reply. This dude is for real a great guy.

It’s dusty in here.

Defensive Holding!

Same dude that faked an injury in one of the above articles, so that a teammate could get some playing time. Good dude, this guy.

Isn’t there some saying about there being only one thing that stops a bad guy with a gun?

He saved so many lives that day, including the kid with the gun. 

I completely agree that his excuse sounds awful, but I also can’t ignore the fact that becoming this famous must also take a huge toll on life/relationships.

Here’s a hint: the reason it’s wrong actually has nothing to do with their relationship!

Why is that, though? Why are Democrats avoiding that subject? Why give the “free college” matter more attention than the fact that elementary through high school is complete shit across the board? I live maybe a mile away from a boarded-up school. Boarded up because the funding decreased...and decreased...and…

That’s very interesting, but can you please just tell me the specials for tonight?

Then it’s an issue he/they should be dealing it with in private rather than using it to publicly defend his stance once criticisms started rolling in.

Then, again, there’s trust issues that need to be dealt with - ideally through couples therapy.

The city has put more and more responsibility on saving the children as services crumble. In IL laws restrict what teachers can actually strike for (ie. Money not supplies, conditions etc)

I feel awful for you.

Anybody who has read a single goddamn story about this strike and still thinks it’s about teacher pay either doesn’t know how to read or is being willfully obtuse.
