BREAKING...There has been a school shooting at Apalachee High School

[Hoodat]

Georgia has the death penalty.  They executed their first person after a four year hiatus tied to COVID.  Why would COVID halt the execution of a felon found guilty and sentenced to death?  They use any old excuse to halt the carrying out of justice.  The fellow they executed earlier in the year committed his crime in 1974, participating in a brutal gang rape and then the shooting of his ex girlfriend.  And the naysayers wanted to use the fact his IQ was 68 as reason not to execute him.  He managed to have a life, commit crime, etc. 

Georgia does a very poor job of enforcing the death penalty.  Anyone receiving a death sentence in Georgia can count on spending the next 20 years in prison, waiting on the State to move forward.  Contrast that with States like Virginia and Oklahoma who get death row inmates in front of the executioner withing 5-7 years.

A CNN analysis shows there have been substantially MORE school sh**tings under the Biden-Harris administration than under Trump.
They don’t mention that in the article but you know they would have done if it were the other way around.

We had no school shootings at all until - when? - the Obama years?

Kip Kinkel at the Thurston High School (killed 5, wounded 28) in Springfield, OR in 1998, and Columbine HS, in Littleton, Colorado, was in 1999. Clinton years. Two shooters, propane bombs (never detonated), (15 dead, 24 wounded), and, of course right in the middle of the 10 year Clinton era 'Assault Weapons Ban' which sunsetted in 2004. Both kids had been on psych meds, at least one psychologist in the parents, (relatively familiar background points by now).

If you really want to go back, there was the University of Texas Tower shooting (mentioned by R Lee Ermey's Character in Full Metal Jacket) Where Charles Whitman killed 15 and wounded 31 more. and in 1989, the Stockton Schoolyard shooting in California (5 children killed, 32 others wounded).

But prior to 2000, most school shootings had few victims or were the result of accidents.

The list (from 1900 to 1999) is fascinating, really and can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(before_2000)

Once again, demonstrating the mental problems of the 'trans' set.

Can we get these people the real help they need, instead of feeding their delusions/problems--before more are killed?

Cannot be executed as the Supreme Court has said no capital punishment for crimes committed as minors.

Fishrrman's answer:
A proposed Constitutional amendment. Plain and simple:
=========================================
"This Constitution recognizes capital punishment to be an appropriate penalty pursuant to the due process of law.

As such, no Court of the United States, nor of the Several States, may declare the death penalty invalid under this Constitution, nor shall any of the Several States enact laws that do the same.

No person in the United States, nor in the several States, shall face capital punishment unless above the age of twelve years and six months."
=========================================

I've posted this before, starting back in 2014.
Yet no one ever seems to comment on it.
Why is that?

Well, I'll take a stab at a comment.

Perhaps because there are very few, if any, juries that will sentence a murderer of that age to death. Should the option be available? Maybe. But it won't happen.

@Fishrrman

Because it is none of the federal government's business how States apply their capital punishment laws.  There is nothing in the Constitution that bars a State from executing a minor.  Nothing.  So if a judge is going to ignore the Constitution on this, that same judge is going to ignore your proposed Amendment.

[Hoodat]

Also, this kid would never get the death penalty because a jury must be unanimous in applying it.

Remember Brian Nichols?  He was about to begin trial for a three-day rape which he was guilty as hell of committing.  In the courthouse, he attacked a sheriff's deputy, put her in a coma, took her gun, found the judge in his chambers, shot him dead in front of a witness, escaped, and remained a fugitive for a couple of days before being found in Gwinnett County.  He escaped the death penalty because one juror couldn't bring herself to committing someone to death.

I mean, there was a way to avoid any death penalty discussion: just don't take him alive. How is it that every active shooter, especially the white male ones, never gets sniped? They're existential threats to life. It's justified. But the only time they don't survive their deed is when they take themselves out.

Anyway...

...how convenient that when Harris is on the ropes, another white boy school shooter shows up. How convenient.

I was thinking along the same line.

Mass shootings do tend to come at just the right time for Democrats.

Usually when they have another gun control measure in the Hopper....
But people are a little more wise to them pushing crap through on some wave of emotion.

A year ago, Colin Gray denied and dismissed the idea that his son had made threats to shoot up a school. Today he finds himself charged with murder as a result of what his son allegedly did at Appalachee High.  And four innocent people are gone.  Full coverage today on @AmericaRpts

Is that verifiable in any way?  Wow, if true.
