School Walkouts

The problem isn't that some kid can get access to a gun.

Yes it is. Look at any other country in the world where kids don't have access to guns. Mass murders are not a regular, ongoing problem.


Well the peer pressure is THERE and REAL Rob ( IMO )

What about peer pressure experienced by viewers of TV or websites which falsely put "News" in their name, when most of what they report is biased opinion? What about peer pressure by organizations or associations that spend millions of dollars on advertising, and even more on lobbyists and campaign donations for politicians willing to implement their agenda? Politicians who act as somewhat willing pawns because they're bullied with threats that "donations" will be withheld, or worse yet, given to someone who might take their job if they don't obey every command? Talk about peer pressure. Peer pressure with massive amounts of cash. Is that something we should be worried about?

Question: I don't have a child attending an East Hawaii school, but have heard that most schools now hold active shooter drills with designated safe spaces where students can hide in an emergency. Does anyone know how often this takes place, or how extensive these plans are? Do you know how frequently kids are reminded a school shooting might take place, with their teachers and administrators giving every indication it's a real possibility at their school, at anytime? How often do you think East Hawaii kids think about this since it's now become a part of regular school attendance? Is this what we want as a society, and what we should accept as a society? Our kids growing up daily in well-regulated fear? Acting the part of well-regulated victims?

I said, ‘Wrong, Justin (Trudeau), you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ - President Donald J. Trump, 3/14/18
