      They shoot pepper balls.

      Having said that, they might get kids killed when they’re trying to hide from a gunman but can’t stop coughing because the room is filled with pepperball dust.

    Fucking hilarious quote here:

    “It’s a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We’re a little bit like that—but we’re the good guys,” he added.

    Oh yeah so it’s kinda like the terrifying dystopian surveillance nightmare where people are oppressed at all times by an omnipresent, invincible, untouchable outer force that compels them to unquestionably follow the path laid out for them in life by their masters. But like, in a good way!

    It is funny how americans think that more guns will prevent gun violence. Then again, they think that more pills will prevent drug problem.

    This is such a tricky subject.
    You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
    Or.
    MUTHERFUDGING DRONES, bitches.

    It’s such a tricky subject. So tricky.

        In fact I’d prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.

          I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.

        man I made an account just to go troll idiots and holy shit is their moderation ever so fucking bad

        people can say “I would drive over them” about people crossing a bridge, but if you say, “I’d drive over you tbh”, nope, not okay.

        not to mention the dumb automatic word filters regardless of context

      I’m skeptical any of this would be more than a bandaid solution, a large part of the problem has got to be how highschool in the US is just inherently a miserably dehumanizing experience.

      The drones, stored in secure boxes on campus, can be deployed within five seconds of silent panic buttons being activated. The devices—operated remotely by a team in Texas—provide constant live video feeds to first responders and, in some cases, fire nonlethal projectiles to delay or incapacitate an assailant.

      To me, these aren’t a bad idea. Immediate response and non-ISH-lethal. They are simply the progression of enforcement technology.

      What they are not, is a solution to school shootings. They are not even a bandaid. Some people (law makers) just don’t seem to know what “prevention” means.

    My gut says when you have to say you are “the good guy” you are in fact “the bad guy.”

    I’m not surprised. The only thing we’re good at in this country is making weapons.
