The only thing that could stop my heart more than a jacketed soft point round is your love.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Take me to dinner,
Or I will shoot you!

We can safely answer “nope” to the OP now, right?

The fact that there was a teacher in the situation that was unable or unwilling to stop it sucks. The fact that people are happy with the outcome instead of curious about how to teach these men to solve their issues...I mean ****. We (as a society) are looking at a kid explode violently in a rage and call it standing up for himself in a thread where kids are taking that rage to mass murder. Black males are killed for it. If you substitute the unrelenting, aggressive pursuer with George Zimmerman or a cop you have a dead kid there.

To bring it full circle, flooding our lives with readily available killing devices is just adding to the damage done, and the gun lust/fetishization is as well, but cheering for the bullied kids to fight is ****ing nonsense. And I say that as someone who fought back once successfully and was lucky enough to have had it work out.
