Yes

That's incredibly well done but it's sad that the richest country in the world can't give a little boy a walker.

THIS.

I didn' t know that

And here in my country University is free :(

This reminds me of the 1920s recession in Australia. You could take and slaughter a sheep for food as long as you left the skin behind for farmers to get paid back for their loss from the government. Sometimes it's just fair enough...

I bet if he was white they would have written "innocent"

Good on you, mate!

Americans: we're giving teenagers guns, extorting sick people, restricting women's rights of their own bodies, just making America great again

So who's doing the screening on the hiring of the teachers?

Americans can be so kind and helpful.... I don't understand how they don't see the advantages of a european-style healthcare system

And yet you have a certain party out there trying to make it easier for this s**t to happen.

In America healthcare is only free for those who have no freedom = the land of the free

*bald eagle noises for some reason*

This is theft

what a nice man and what a f****d up school system

Pro-Life. They deserve to live until you decide otherwise.

This is just messed up

KKKristian, not Christian.

This isn't really just the us, though. This happened in other countries as well.

The legal system in the US is a joke.

In Germany one can get free Insulin. My wife doesn't pay anything.

Everything is wrong with this ... even the font.

Yes

For those who don't know ... Paul Ryan was a Republican politician (Fmr. Speaker of the House) who ran for US President and Charles Koch is one of many billionaires who contribute millions to elect Republican politicians.

How about not take a gun with you in the first place?

Christians in the US sure are bible-thumpers. They use the bible to thump people bloody.

Noice

Pure and simple GREED

Only in America would anyone have thought otherwise

*cough* Vietnam War *cough*

Almost every week, one city tries to outdo another in the 'Utterly Ridiculous' stakes

this is so sad....

This is worse than sad. This is deplorable.

I have to do this in my school, did it a few weeks ago, but I’m not in kindergarten so we know what going on which makes it worse

Business idea here " bullet proof doors for schools"

I'm legit crying right now. My daughter is four, and she doesn't even know what a gun is. The loss of innocence, the ugliness of it all. Legitimately crying.

Now I understand the song A Ring A Ring A Rosie's better and how it stood the test of time....

Since I was in preschool we’ve done these “code reds”. In preschool it started out with hiding in the bathroom and being quiet, by third grade we had escalated to locking the door and putting clack magnets on the windows into the classroom while turning off all lights and sitting down in the bathroom. Any by second grade we had “code yellows” where we would do the same but sit under our desks. At my new Catholic school, we just turn out the lights, block the windows, and stand next to a wall. All because ‘Murica Edit: also in my new school we only do it when there is a potential threat within a few miles. Another edit: code red is for when someone is in the building, code yellow is when someone is nearby, but at my new school they kinda mash into one

My sister is a teacher at a school in Portland, OR. She had to teach other teachers how to do active shooter drills. She text me and my mom the day after and said she did better this time cause she only broke down crying 3 times this time. I fear for her, her kids, and my kid. I hate this country.

While this is sad and, painfully obviously, much needed, it seems to me, a sheltered Scot, that having this, and the other post above about "active shooter drills", while I KNOW they are an absolute necessity in the US, that it is normalising and almost telling schoolchildren that this kind of thing will most likely happen! Is that really what any country wants to instil in future generations? And I KNOW I do know that this is necessary! But wouldn't it be amazing if it weren't necessary in the first place?

The bomb threat used to be from the sky and now it's in people's hands (guns).

Jesus.

This honestly made my stomach turn with anxiety. This is so depressing.

Have the school shooters changed from students to adults? I must admit there are too many of them to follow these days, but all the school shooting I can recall were by disgruntled students. I ask, because I can't imagine a Kindergarten age kid being a school shooter.

So effing sick.

even though i dont like kids but please the kids literally did not deserve to have this kind of trauma..

WTF !

An off duty officer got his kids CLASS and others out of the building

The other day, a teenager here in Perth (Western Australia) took his Dads rifle to the school and fired 3 rounds into the building (no one was hurt). Such a rare occasion that it was headline news across the whole country

A vacation from poverty, not an escape

Murica

So you don't even have victims of crime compensation?
