  1. A 6yr can bring a gun to school?💀

  2. Why don't you asked her ? Why did nobody
    Herad the gun shoot
    Also she walked to
    The principals office n
    Collapsed ?

  3. I want to know why this child felt he needed to shoot this teacher. And why is sewing the school her priority? Those are not her babies… This is weird…? As a grade schooler I endured a highly abusive environment. I was targeted ridiculed falsely accused and publicly humiliated by most of my teachers and administrators. One teacher actually grabbed me and physically shook aggressively. Another hit me hard over the head with a book. Any time I did well at anything I faced punishment. When I learned to read and write way ahead of the class they put me in the class with kids who could not read. When I won a race they canceled racing. I tried everything to be kind and impressive until finally I gave up and stopped trying. My parents figured out what was going on and removed me from school. I tested way ahead in everything two months later and never went back to school again. It turned out the principal and teachers did not like that my family was Mormon and were upset that my Mom put me in school at 5 instead of waiting until 6 as was the trend at that school. I never a had a chance there. Please do not assume this teacher is innocent. I want to know how she treated this boy. A teacher who loves her students would be hard pressed to sue the school they go to.

  4. The Media has brainwashed black children into hating White people and "whiteness" We all see it.
    What is sad is, other than Scott Adams, no-one with any platform has the courage to say it.

  5. They interviewed the parents and they had this to say:
    "Bix nood shibbit mafugga ma nika ho as crackuh"

  6. Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around our Sister and her Family this morning.. Please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your Word.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing into their lives, healing from any injuries to her hand and body, healing from the hurt and pain, healing from worry and anxiety, healing from anything else that may bring harm to their body or home.. Father, I ask that you please provide for any assistance or needs that they may have and I ask that you please bring blessings into their lives so that they may be a blessing for others.. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen!!!

  7. That kid is a psychopath and needs serious help. The school deserves to be sued along with the parents.

  8. Interrogate the parents

  9. Wow, saying all the right things, cadence in her speech, all to maximize results on that lawsuit….

  10. I would be terrified too. So very sorry

  11. Did anyone ask the kid why he did it?

  12. How much did you bully him ?

  13. Watch your back !
    Don’t trust
    kids with guns

  14. Candy red haired nose pierced woahman was trusted to teach six year olds? Epicc!

  15. More “truth” from the ministry of it.

  16. This is stayged 🐂 💩 .

  17. Could be a hate crime. The parents should be in prison.

  18. They taught him she was a "colonizer",
    what did you think was going to happen?

  19. this chick is no victim at all she needs to tell what she was doing to the 6 year old boy to make him go get a gun and come to school and shoot her this chick should be under investigation.

  20. Bruh said b is for blicky

  21. School should be held fully responsible. And whoever didn’t lock the gun up
