This time, they are allowed to prevent five additional women....

It was a gamble at best. Even if Judge O’Neill recuses himself, there’s no reason to believe that a new judge would be any friendlier to the defense’s case.

Children and teens need to understand that they live in a world where actions have consequences. This needs to be consistent or they grow up thinking that the rules don’t apply to them. The school board would be failing in part of its educational mission if it taught young Mr. Caffrey the lesson that he could violate…

I agree it’s a personal attack. And personally, I’d say everyone should make their case without ad hominem. Unfortunately most of politics in the US is personal attacks, and it’s only gotten worse since the election of Trump.

Did you not know that Nikolas Cruz bought his AR-15 legally?

I have no idea how many if any guns he owns, but I didn’t read anything that said he bought a gun. He applied for a permit that allows him to carry a gun in Pennsylvania.

Sure. I just don’t think it does any good to presume that people apply for permits for nefarious purposes. People who are up to no good, don’t usually go through legal channels.
