If only the Kinder-Guardians were there...
That was hilarious.
Also no way only Sacha baron Cohen is acting in this, right? Like a few others are in on this, surely

That guy was fired
Holy shit that is absolutely bonkers.
I can't believe I just saw what I just saw. Then again, I totally can.
The only solution is to arm every 1st grader in America!
We've got the guns. But do we have the courage?
The school board is basically admitting that teaches are gonna get shot as part of their jobs. That’s so fucked up
First grade teachers at that.

IIRC the teacher expressed concerns about the student having a gun, and the school administration said something like, "he has tiny pockets! a gun can't fit in tiny pockets" and she got shot like less than an hour later. I used quotations but it's not an exact quote.
This is actually kind of hilarious, how do you fuck up this bad

The administrator downplayed the report from the teacher and the possibility of a gun, saying — and I quote — ‘Well, he has little pockets,’ ”
Shortly after 1 p.m., another teacher told an administrator that a different student who was “crying and fearful” said the boy showed him the gun during recess and threatened to shoot him if he told anyone. Again, no action was taken, she said.
When another employee who had heard the boy might have a gun asked an administrator to search the boy, he was turned down, Toscano said. “He was told to wait the situation out because the school day was almost over,” she said.
christ those poor tax payers are going to be giving her a glorious life.
Seems like they’re already giving the incompetent superintendent a golden parachute. 500k for getting someone shot.
I'll give you a little bit to consider what ones life is like after being shot.
And they'll still continue to vote against their interests. 🙄
Can we just get whoever these chucklefucks are and ask them why they were so unconcerned with the fact that three different people came to them talking about a 6 year old they're in charge of being seen with a gun?? Isn't the normal response to ONE person telling you about a child being seen with a gun on school grounds to actually investigate whatever is going on?
I remember when a kid got suspended because he pointed a chicken nugget at a teacher and said bang...
How? By not giving a flying fuck.
When you've got this level of stupidity in charge of those expected to educate the next generation, I think you may have already lost.

That's the most American sentence ever.
Well, I think that is my first angry up vote
But how is the little brat going to pay that?
The school shirked it's responsibilities. They will be paying, not the kid.
If American schools are supposed to stop school shootings they will be at it all day.
She warned them multiple times about issues and rumors of weapons. They did nothing. IIRC the child also had a decently long history of other issues. I would sue that school too.
Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.
Have you heard the term "getting blood from a stone"?
Like the school district is going to be able to pay out $40 million.
Point being, the school district will shoulder all the consequences, or just declare bankruptcy, all at the expense of the taxpayers and the students and teachers that all of those taxes are supposed to be going to, while the actual people that made reckless and criminal decisions face almost no personal consequences.

Not in a civil suit. They were working in their position as the legal authority of the school, making decisions in that role and not as private citizens.
They were the school and the school is liable.
No, they need individual punishmemt, too. Same with cops. Same with business executives. They all hide behind their position and avoid personal consequences. Like the south park "we're sorry" episode mocking BP?
We need to be holding individuals accountable when the institution let's things happen. It's the only real way to get bad people out of power.
Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.
No, they need individual punishmemt, too.
They were not saying as well but instead of.
Personally, I believe they should be barred from any position in education but that is not what I was replying to.
Barring them isn't enough. The only acceptable place is prison. Criminal negligence and child endangerment charges at the minimum.
You have your opinion, I have mine.
Criminal negligence and child endangerment
That sounds like something for the person (parent, I assume) that gave the child access to a pistol.

That 6 yr old is gonna have to work a lot of jobs to pay back that 40 mil, hell of a grindset they worked out
I just read the article, she's suing the school because she claims administrators ignored reports the kid had a gun as well as a history of "troubling behavior"

You don't think that maybe the suit is against the school or the district

Wtf are the kid's parents doing? Like, how does a 6 year old smuggle a loaded weapon out of the house? And why would they even have that in the house? (I know it's in the US, that last question was more of a rethorical one.)
From what I remember about this case the mother had terrible gun safety (obviously) and the child was mirroring terrible behaviors he'd seem from the father. The father has been accused of aiming a gun at an ~~extra~~ [ex]girlfriend and attempting to choke out another.
extra girlfriend
Extra as in crazy or extra as in multiple girlfriends?
Good look! My autocomplete changed ex to extra.
I am curious how the involved kid turns out years later, but I feel that answer is already known.
Yeah. According to the media he apparently choked his kindergarten teacher soooo
The only good outcome in this case.
See guys we do need to arm teachers, preschoolers, 1st -7th graders, the janitor, the lunch lady, etc..... /S
