Gunshots were fired on the visitor’s side of the stadium at Choctaw High School during the third quarter of their game against Del City High School on Friday. At least four other people sustained injuries as a result of the incident, according to police.
Take your bow conservatives. And be proud of what you’ve failed to accomplish.
This pisses me off. I live in Oklahoma and my son is 16 and part of his class assignment is attend live events like a football game but now it could be to dangerous. Sick of this. And Republicans will never change.

Fuck whoever that teacher is so hard for making kids to go after school activities for a grade. That’s should 100% be a choice. My daughter has major anxiety issues and going to school events, or any events with large crowds is unbearable for her. She had trouble with a lunchtime party we went to recently with 10-20 people. I would read that teacher the fucking riot act.
Its for an elective class my son chose it podcast class. I too was pissed when says I got to take him to live events and pay for it all.
I assume by “podcast class” It’s a reporting class, but that term is mostly dead now I guess. In that case, it’s somewhat fair but the rule should just be to make a report on an event in general. (Making a report on this shooting would probably be a good one ironically.) It shouldn’t have to be a school event or really anything in particular. Ideally it’d also require doing research, like a reporter should, and not just reacting to what they see.

What the fuck is wrong with you? It’s mental illness. Do you tell schizophrenics to man up and stop hearing voices?
Yes, because this ‘person’ is a fucking idiot. Just move on. They don’t deserve your time.
I’m not going to say anything else, but I couldn’t let that shit go without saying something.
Fair enough as long as it did you some good to get it out.
Because there is no chance it’s going to impact this broken idiot in any way.
You come off as someone who watches Jordan Peterson bits to make you feel better about your inceldom.
Your parents should have raised a smarter, more empethetic, more emotionally healthy child.
Good point. I’ll try harder to raise my kids to be more bulletproof.
They accomplished their goals, they just lied about what their goals were.
They’re paid $16 million a year (and millions of single-issue voters who will tolerate absolutely anything as long as they have their guns) to protect the profits of gun companies, and they’ve absolutely accomplished that.
This child was just another person they don’t give a shit about who had to suffer the consequences.
There were seven cops there and they still didn’t catch the shooter? Wtf
Yeah, let’s blame this one on the cops. Not the person shooting into a fucking stand full of people.
Good luck grabbing the one dude who shoved a hand gun back into his jacket while people panic run out of the stands lol.
But the good guys with guns could’ve stopped them! 🥺🥺🥺
In Oklahoma too. You know there were tens to ~hundred of other people in those stands that were strapped lol.
So if I understand correctly we can’t blame cops when they shoot somebody, we can’t blame cops when somebody else shoots somebody right in front of them, and we can’t blame cops for not shooting white supremacist assholes.
What exactly can they be held accountable for in your fucked up system of thought?
The only “bad” thing cops can do is not take the side of other cops at all times.

How is anything that you said relevant to police magically detaining every person on both sides of a football game to find someone with a pistol? What, did you want them to just grab all the black kids instead lol?
The cops job during a shooting is to kill an active shooter and get help for people shot. There’s zero chance they find someone who popped off some shots like that then sucked into a crowd. This isn’t a very hard scenario to imagine. Tons of shootings like this go completely unsolved due to nobody speaking up out of no snitching rules and fear of retaliation.
You trolls realize you’re talking to someone that’s probably far more left leaning than you right? The difference being I don’t live online fomenting hatred and division carte blanche.
Not the cops fault, but proof more cops didn’t equate to more safety like cops and Republicans want you to think
Don’t get me wrong. I think every single one of our first responders are understaffed and mostly underpaid. Cops, paramedics, firefighters, social workers, all of em. This is absolutely one of those cases though that short of there being metal detectors and/or people wanding spectators on entry, jack shit you could do. The public at large hates the fact that some things just straight up aren’t preventable. Even more so with gun culture in the US.
People hate feeling like they live in a prison. The solution isn’t more detectors and police. The solution is more chances for the poorest among us to find gainful employment. Social welfare programs that let those who can’t work great jobs or fell on shitty times lift themselves back up and feel like they’re doing something. It’s spending money on Crisis Intervention workers so they can go to those mental health calls instead of sending someone who just had to pull dead bodies out of a car wreck.
I work pretty closely with all of them in my field. People complain about cops not having community outreach but all you hear over the scanner is them going from one call to another, non-stop. If you’re in a suburb or larger, there’s ZERO people on traffic duty too. It’s a thankless job most of the time, one that traumatizes you almost weekly, and now people have turned on them HARD compared to when I grew up.
Any time we try to work on the above, Republicans shoot it down even if they ended up being the ones who proposed it lol.

The only logical solution is even more guns.
US society has made a collective decision concerning freedom and gun ownership and this is the outcome they’ll have to (continue to) live with.
I think most of society wants some protections in place. It’s the politicians (and Supreme Court justices if you somehow think they aren’t politicians still) that keep us from getting that. They would risk too much going against the “no safety precautions for firearms” groups, so they just don’t.
American children who experience gun violence at school finds that they have higher rates of school absenteeism, lower high school and college graduation rates
Imagine being asked to play on this field after this. This school may never win a game again. What absolute bullshit that a stranger in a crowd can threaten the lives and outcomes of our teens.
