A teacher who is also a reserve police officer trained in firearm use accidentally discharged a gun Tuesday at Seaside High School in Monterey County, Calif., during a class devoted to public safety. A male student was reported to have sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
This clearly is not the answer. March, kids, march!
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
The naysayers want to dismiss these kids as being nothing more than “tide-pod eaters” because they are scared of them. I applaud these young people for standing up to get something done about this.
1Did you see where the NRA tweeted “I’ll control my own guns, thank you” what nerve these people have. How insensitive to the students. March students …keep it up, louder!
2Having read the article, I find so many things wrong that it’s more than my time’s worth to list them. This bozo’s status as a reserve police officer should be yanked, and a serious look should be taken at whoever trained him. He should have no right to own or handle a gun until he can prove he knows how to do so safely, because he sure as hell doesn’t know now.
3If we had a Justice Department led by anyone other than Jefferson BS III, this ‘teacher/reserve police officer’ would be facing federal charges for depriving the injured student of his civil liberties. At a minimum…
As the students are saying: “we’re not to be hunted!” Every NRA spox and politician needs to be sent a picture of that teacher with appropriate sarcastic questions asking them how their stable genius plan to arm teachers is working thus far.
4Teachers are not and never will be security guards!
5And at a summer camp co-sponsored by local police, an officer was giving a carload of kids a lesson in safe driving and actually crashed the car. No one was hurt but the officer was totally humiliated and the ids never saw him again. Even the best, those who are trained to the hilt in some expertise or another, will eventually goof up.
6Teachers already have too much to do and not enough money to do it with. Most schools hire musicians to teach music, and art teachers to teach art, qualified drivers’ ed teachers to teach driving. Do they pay extra for the security guard gig? Does Trump think teacher security guards should have bullet proof vests, guns, x number of training hours provided for them? Should they have extra insurance for gun injuries provided so they can be rushed to hospital or morgue in case of injuries? Does Trump think the substitute who takes over the class at that point have to be trained in safe shooting and a bullet proof car for teachers to drive for his/her safety from angry nut cases? Will Trump provide body guards for said teachers? Trump does not THINK.
7Should be defined and prosecuted as attempted murder or at miminium assault with a deadly weapon.
8This bozo obviously is NOT one of those mythical “responsible” gun owner if he discharges, or through ineptitude and incompetence, allows his weapon to discharge in a school.
Not attempted murder, no intent to kill. However, negligent discharge of a firearm would be a good start. Oh, and firing him from both teaching and police duties, and putting him in a”no guns for you” list, if we had such.
9Can we ever go back to safety first?
10Guns second?
Yes. Something just passed the House, 407-10. The young people are being heard. If this bill isn’t everything they want and need, they’ll be back. Got that Lyin’ Ryan?
11Dennis Alexander
claims he’s trained with guns
that’s why he went and shot one
with your daughters and your sons…
He didn’t really mean to
hurt the boy that bled
it was just a sort of accident,
that’s what he said.
Now hear the rule that I was taught
Yup, keep the picture paused
THERE’S NO SUCH THINGS AS ACCIDENTS
THEY ARE ALL CAUSED
Some are caused by carelessness
And some by lack of knowledge
And some by lack of forethought
(which they don’t teach in college)
And some by pride and some by anger,
By lust and sloth and greed,
The same old sins we’ve known before
And still we do not heed…
“Mistakes were made,” someone will say,
And others nod their head
When another innocent person lies
Awash in blood, and dead.
And “Everyone goofs up sometimes,
And surely you’ve made one…”
Yes, that batch of cake went flat
But I didn’t shoot off a gun.
Once more, the rule that I was taught
Yup, keep the picture paused
THERE’S NO SUCH THINGS AS ACCIDENTS
THEY ARE ALL CAUSED
For when the score is totted up,
Believe me when I say
A flat cake won’t send you to hell
But shooting a schoolchild may.
And claiming as some do online
That their rights matter more
Than any rights the children have
Will yank the balance o’er.
Dennis Alexander
You’re a scandal to your school
To all teachers, and all admins
And every kind of fool
Who thinks the kids are safer
When men like you tote guns
Or call what you did “accident”
As if you dropped some buns
Yea, I keep repeating this
12So listen up, because:
THERE’S NO SUCH THINGS AS ACCIDENTS
THEY ARE ALL CAUSED
Mixed work, Elizabeth Moon. Does it have a tune and an artist yet? Needs them…
13Just an FYI-Seaside HS is not in Monterey,it’s in Seaside.Two different towns that border each other. Monterey High and Seaside High are sports arch rivals, so it’s a big no-no to place the Spartans in Toreador land. And yeah,not too proud that my hometown hits the national news because the reserve officer from the neighboring tiny town of Sand City (population of maybe 300) is an eejit.
14just happened again in virginia

I’m so angry about this. A student is going to get “accidentally” killed. (Great poetry Elizabeth.)
Students are worried and anxious, then 2 different f*cking idiots “accidentally” fire their guns in school. How many of those students feel so traumatized now they never want to go near a school again? Must have terrified them. And what about the people in the nearby classrooms? Did they begin their lockdown procedures, head for the closets? Hellish, just hellish.
I know where I’d like LaPierre and his congressional LaPdogs to put their guns, and with a great deal of force!
16And I get the impression from the article that this jackwagon took it upon himself to provide this demonstration. You know, so the kids aren’t scared of guns. To comfort them. Think of it as indoctrination. There now. Isn’t that comforting?
17I should change my name here to “Old School And Proud Of It”. My children are grown and out of school, but I still fondly remember that their teachers, even the hated ones, were dedicated to their focus on teaching the subject, not having to always have their attention on the door, and the gun at the ready, safety off. They are teachers, not soldiers who are trained to be quicker on the draw and always ready. The people who think arming teachers and administrators (yeah, them too) were probably disruptive little twits who spend too much time watching fantastic video games and fail to factor in the surprise element. You know, I enjoy “cop” shows, but I do understand that it’s a fantasy.
