  Try the kid as an adult and charge his parents, if he has any, with attempted murder. Let the kid grow up in prison. Make some examples. Bring the ceo of a major firearm manufacturer to the town square and let them give explanations.
context: Can't go to Juvie or jail might be taken from parents. Could you imagine she gets better and that little asshole is still in her class that'd be some shit >
  
  I can't imagine the kind of therapy needed after this. I wonder if the teacher is returning to the classroom this year. So brutal. >
  
  She will probably have to return next month or lose her health insurance... >
  
  They'll be asking other teachers to donate their time off I'm sure >
  
  Not sure why everyone is piling up on the teachers getting shit on here.
  They are unionized. None of this is gonna happen.
  Now... Professions that aren't unionized........... >
  
  Are teachers unions in the state that this happened in?  Because not all states allow teacher unions and many states have knee capped union effectiveness. >
  
  Exactly. My state definitely isn't unionized, and we have no power at all >
  
  So she'll be back in the classroom for Monday? Because our board doesn't have no money for a sub.

  He planned this attack, he knew where the gun was and had the forethought to plan this, so it's premeditated. He's 6 years old.
  Edit.. Where the hells his parents? >
  
  According to previous articles I read, his dad's in jail, and his mam is cycling through various crack houses.
  He got the gun from his uncle, who had it in a shoebox under the bed. >
  
  Imagine thinking a shoebox under your bed is a safe place to keep a gun with a 6yr old in the house. Probably hides the Christmas presents in the coat closet. >
  
  The ultimate "only in America" story. >
  
  I hear the kid has already been booked to speak at the next Republican convention! >
  
  “This is America, don’t catch you slippin’ now” >
  
  A few days back, there was a story on a sub about a toddler getting a shotgun for Christmas. You'd be amazed at the number of US folks who were 100% behind this gift, arguing how gun culture people are responsible and children raised to handle fire arms from an early age learn respect for them and to use them appropriately... >
  
  I know a person who gave their 8 year old a pistol and holster for their birthday and posted the proud pictures on Facebook. These parents are not the type that are responsible enough to lock it up when not in use or take the kid to any sort of training to leave how to safely use the thing.
  It's terrifying to think about the number of kids in this country that have open access to a deadly weapon. >
  
  Does anyone understand frontal lobe development or care?
  Why is it we don’t let 6 year olds drive cars? Surely we can make some adjustments so they can reach the pedals. >
  
  Metal detectors and random pat downs and threats of violence breaking out at any moment with contraband. 
  We used to complain that schools are like prison as kids....see that it is no longer hyperbole >
  
  Americans don't deserve guns. Ban them. >
  
  I wish her a full and speedy recovery and I hope she never faces anything this traumatic in her life again. But, having read the article, I am struck yet again at just how shocked everyone seems to be that this could happen. That this could happen in America. How could this possibly come as a surprise to anyone?
