Has bullying stopped there or is it still a thing?
We could instead be out of billionaires in two months.
“I never thought I’d need this,” one student told Fox 29. {mosads}

“You hear about these school shootings almost weekly, and I can’t believe that’s where we are in our nation today, but that’s the fact,” said one great-grandparent
Fuck... this was 2018. Sure hope those kids never needed those backpacks.
School shootings are the equivalent of hide under a desk for nukes. It's pointless, they're super rare, and a fucking backpack, just like a table, is not going to save someone.

I hate this fucking country so much.

Local conservative afraid of everything, dumps his trauma onto kids. More at eleven.
Those plates don't stop rifle rounds. The school shootings we hear about (actual mass shootings) nearly always involve a rifle. Given that fact, those plates are just useless weights.
