Well, just a guess on my part. Usually the firearm type leads the headline.News reporting this morning that the weapon was/is an "assault style" rifle.
Shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. So far 4 dead, shooter in custody.

i think 6 people were killed in chicago over the holiday weekend.
was wondering if they are also arresting the fathers of those shooters and then i realized....

I agree, there's so many good, non militaristic men coming back from deployment with skilz that would be so welcomed into the school environment. It would be a glove to hand fit.
Folks, our children, grandchildren are everything, it's what we are here for, they are our first priority, period.
We need to protect them in school and church.
A well tempered seasoned bubba is what I want.
Teachers that want to train should be trained for free, even to say, to buy them gear to make them more successful, confident.
How could hiring a couple of badasses for each school and training, for free, any teacher who wants to learn, a bad thing.
It's the real thing.
would have no clue who they were
I've spent a lot of time in Switzerland in the last 15 years and this is spot on.
The Swiss have 9 different political parties and as I recall, whoever (from whatever party) is elected President only serves a one year term. There is virtually no time for any one party to take office and subvert the will of Swiss society in general.
The Swiss are wonderful. They are laid back, don't care what you think/what your preferences are, they look at everyone the same. And, they are very quiet about it. I have had so much fun traveling through Switzerland, Austria and Germany, having kept my mouth shut and having been mistaken for one of them. My lack of being able to speak fluent German gives me away very quickly though.
That is usually through the looking glass of tourist dollars, but that is fine. Dollars usually do a pretty good job of leveling the playing field. Switzerland is no different in that regard.
I think you meant resource officers. And yes, preferrably trained by Col. Samuel Troutman.
"When in doubt, kill. Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best. With weapons, knives, his bare hands. He has been trained to ignore heat and cold, the elements. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke."
oops, it was only 5!
5 killed, 26 wounded in Chicago Labor Day weekend shootings, police say
The ages of the victims range from 16 to 58.

That particular range is just up the road from Spiez. There is another one just like it on the way via the train to Davos. It takes a while, but you get used to seeing targets on one side of the valley and firing positions on the opposite side.
To answer the 64 Million dollar question of how/why Switzerland "culture" is different/better, it is that they do not easily embrace "hollywood" and our mores.
The Swiss are 40 to 50 years "behind" Western/North American "culture". That is a very good thing.
When visiting Switzerland (Austria, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Romania, etc.), the most important thing is to slow down and remember your manners. They are a very proud people and they have earned it. It is so easy to get along there, it just requires a little participation on your part.
LoL at ya'll acting like this is the first long haired, blond out of a bottle, boy to come out of rural Georgia
Can someone expand on this? Who are these folks tracking retired FBI with GPS? How? What is their organization?
I’d love this to be, well, a smoking gun.
But big claims require big explanations?

we mustn't talk bad about the savages or show them in a bad light or we risk being called racist
In light of recent festivities it might be a good idea for the Germans to remind the refugees/occupiers from the third world shitholes to remember their manners.
Tony Seruga:My partners and I have been lifetime data scientists. We own the digital ID of every mobile device/computer in the U.S. and have indexed and archived every IP address in the world. Our extensive experience in big and deep data, including geotracking and geolocation makes our dozens of data companies the top authority for providing data to corporations, law enforcement and U.S. government agencies like the CIA, NSA, DoD, DIA, NGA, NRO, FBI, as well as Interpol and foreign intelligence organizations.There are a number of videos documenting these ghost buses as well as a number of mostly nondescript DOJ vans that dropped off ninja wearing individuals that appear in other videos to have breached the Capitol cutting fencing, removing barricades, opening doors, and other nefarious behaviors. We also tracked the infamous J6 ‘pipe bomber’ from one of these vans. Later, we eventually tracked them to a Virginia Metro station where a perfect capture of their vehicle license plate was made. The FBI has ALL of this information. Shortly after they were alerted, however, AT&T mysteriously ‘accidentally’ corrupted that and only that particular cell phone user’s data. Additionally, their mobile device was used hundreds of times before and after J6 accessing keycard required DOJ/FBI parking garages and buildings.
I recall the initial link to the ball to Rochster New York grocery store shooter was social media emails.
This is the guy, former intelligence, who can do the triangulation with the phones.
As a German myself... I offer free showers.
I've seen it many times. I do not behave/travel that way. It gains you nothing, is an embarassment and is rather ugly.
I have also seen that behavior from Brits and the French.
seen it with every nationality on cruises ,the short [3 night] budget ones are the worse ,we learned early in our years to avoid them like the plague
Yes, this. What I have noticed in particular is that the women/wives now have a "forum" and act out. Quite the cat fights can entail.
When that occurrs, it's time to exit stage right and find the bar on the top deck.....
when i lived in the uk (back in the 90s) it was generally accepted that the germans were the worst

Odd, in Bavaria, it seems to be quite the opposite.
The Chinese are bad, particularly in Switzerland. But, their behavior (and associated lack of manners) is an ingrained/cultural thing. Them pushing/shoving you while waiting to board a train is normal/accepted/every day behavior back home. In Switzerland, it will earn them a knuckle sandwich from me.
back then, the germans had a reputation of getting up early and putting their towels on the poolside chairs to "reserve" them.Odd, in Bavaria, it seems to be quite the opposite.

Heroic Guests Battle 7 A.M. Pool Chair Hoarders To Rescue Family Vacations - View from the Wing
It's one thing when your stuff is on a chair and you go to the bathroom or to get a drink. "Saving chairs" with towels left for hours is not acceptable. If hotel staff won't address it, vigilantism seems like an option - just remove all the towels from loungers.

I don't know about anyone else but these stories give me some wild Mandela Effect vibes. My memory may very well be playing tricks on me but I'd like to believe that I have an accurate recollection of the Columbine Shooting in... '98?
Either way- back to the Mandela Effect comment, I could swear that I remember after the Columbine shooting that all of the news platforms later agreed that their coverage of the event fueled 'copycats' and agreed to a universal "gentleman's" handshake to never again cover such an event in the detail that they did for fear that it'd only encourage future occurrences.
Like I said, maybe my memory is getting mixed up 20+ years later but I could have sworn that I remembered this accurately.

Let me guess…. This poll was taken in 1942?
