Ah America. Where a six year old can access firearms but not a lunch program.
Are you gonna tell a kid with a gun you aren’t going to give him lunch?
That’s our school lunch program. Here is a gun, go kill something and eat it.
Gun companies need to be able to sell their products to anyone without any liability for arming crazy people.
No matter how many people are on either side of the issue, gun manufacturers always win.
And all gun violence is OK as long as there is a payout to someone.
Man, that’s fucked up

It also outlined how one instance in which Ms Zwerner allegedly told Ms Parker that the child was in a “violent mood” and had made threats against another child.
Ms Parker allegedly “had no response” and refused to “even look up” when concerns about the child were brought to her.
Ms Parker’s lawyer argued that she could not have known what would happen, and that Ms Zwerner has exaggerated the extent of her injuries.
Could not have known? Despite being told the child was making threats to other students?
And exaggerated the extent of her injuries? She was fucking shot by a 6 yo. What’s to exaggerate?
That’s not even close to the worst part. After Zwerner reported his “violent mood,” two other teachers reported to Parker that students were telling them he had a gun… The first searched his backpack and turned up nothing but believed it could have been on his person (they saw him tuck something under his sweatshirt.) Parker’s response was that his pockets were too small to hold a gun. Second teacher had another student report he had flashed them the gun in his pocket. Second teacher wanted to search him, but Parker forbade him because the first teacher had already searched his backpack.
That’s pretty fucking bad…
Good on her. I hope she puts that money to good use. Teachers usually have a good head on their shoulders, from my experience.
Depends on the school. Some teachers shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children
Mine were amazing across the board throughout K-12. That’s why I said in my experience.

Well, no. She’s collecting tax payer dollars because a school administrator didn’t do anything when told that the child might have a gun.
Well, no. The mother had the gun in the house that the child used. Thankfully the mother is now in jail and the administrator is facing charges still…The craziest thing out of all this is…The student was not charged with wrongdoing and is reportedly in the care of a relative and enrolled at a different school.
The student was 6 years old ffs

Wow, you are scum to write off a child’s entire life like that. Yeah, you’re definitely an American “Christian conservative” (quoting another of your comments from elsewhere). I’m writing you off - it’s a shame you didn’t get the same treatment you’re advocating when you were a kid.

It often stings a LOT, but I can see why you wouldn’t know that considering your obvious disdain for it.
Well at least you understand and acknowledge that being a Christian Conservative is bad and that it’s an insult to be called such
Housing in a “mental facility” (at least here in the US) would make that outcome all but certain. The kid needs regular assessment and help from professionals, sure. With a loving home and safe caregivers through the rest of childhood it will be possible for him to recover and reconcile with his actions, so I hope that’s what he’s getting.
Mental facilities really aren’t very good. He will have a better chance of turning his life around while living in a home, with a family, and recieving mental health therapy.
This is a perfect example of the noncentral fallacy. When you say ‘school shooter’ what comes to mind is a sixteen year old sociopath murdering a dozen people in a planned terrorist attack, not a six year old who is incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions.

Well… yes? Did you read the article? Or the thread you’re replying to?
There are two court cases here (as you seem to understand…) - a civil case against the school, which awarded monetary damages to the teacher (as civil cases often do), and a criminal case against the mother, which awarded prison time (as criminal cases often do). Quite literally, as I stated in the post you replied to, the monetary damages she’s collecting are because the school administrator didn’t do her job. The prison time the mother is serving is because she had an unsecured firearm in her house that the child used. They’re two different things.
That’s a convenient thought to absolve the mother.
While the administrator carries responsibility for the lack of action, they did not shape the child’s mind nor circumstance that led to this situation in the first place.
It’s not absolving the mother of anything. This is a civil case against the school specifically because the administrator did not do their job. There was a separate, criminal case against the mother, which came with its own penalties.
The point was that it’s a shame the taxpayer is on the hook for this. Not that the mother is solely at fault and the administrator isn’t.
So it is a shame that it isctaxoayer dollars. But, the tax payers voted for the school board that didn’t establish a culture of responsible administrators. And when I say the tax payers voted… really I mean they didn’t. Turnout for such things is terribly low. Taxpayers need to establish that administrators like this should never be around children, and anyone who lets it happen should be voted out. They should also demand more money for schools so that there is more to pay for better teachers and administrators. It really shouldn’t be all on them. But noone else is going to make it happen.

How did the six-year-old get $10m with which to be fined?
RTFA - The suit was against the school district and the assistant principle for failing to do anything after they’d been told that the student may have brought a gun to school.
Wait, the six-year-old was wearing a suit?
Child gets $10M from jury Child proceeds to shoot teacher
