From CNN
"A 17-year-old male student shot two other students at Great Mills High School in Maryland on Tuesday morning [of last week] before a school resource officer engaged him and stopped the threat, authorities said.

The incident began in a school hallway at 7:55 a.m., just before classes started. Authorities say Austin Wyatt Rollins, armed with a handgun, shot a female and a male student. The shooter had a prior relationship with the female student, St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron said.
School resource officer Blaine Gaskill responded to the scene in less than a minute, the sheriff said. Gaskill fired a round at the shooter, and the shooter fired a round simultaneously."

Last weeks school shooting in Maryland, where the criminal got a swift comeuppance barely made the Australian news, a few TV channels mentioned it briefly and a leading newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, buried it on page 17.
Nor has there been any local praise for the School resource officer Blaine Gaskill, who acted with such brave and decisive swiftness.

There were no follow-ups, no interviews, none of the usual 'talking heads' had a word to say, and the Greens and GCA were thunderous in their silence.

Perhaps the body count wasn't high enough to interest the usual anti USA and anti-firearms crowd.

Jaelynn Willey, the first victim, has unfortunately died. Her death also barely rated a mention.

Dear Is Mise,

Really? Why are you doing this on a weekend when the youth of America stood up so powerfully and eloquently against the gun culture which repeatedly threatens them and takes their lives within their own schools? I have been so impressed by their strength and determination to affect change. More strength to their arm.

As to your raising the Maryland shooting as a some kind of validation for your warped views, don't be so bloody inane.

The armed student only fired one round which struck his former girlfriend and another student. He then placed the pistol to his own head. Gaskill came around a corner over a minute later and fired at the youngster but there is not indication his shot even struck him. Indeed there is every indication that the student instead took his own life.

And do we really know how Blaine Gaskill would have reacted if the shooter was spraying rounds from an AR15 rather than standing there with the firearm at his temple? Of course not.

There is not a shred of equivalence here and for you to be attempting to prove otherwise is a sad indictment on yourself. Once again I say Shame!

Issy... I'm anti guns... GUNS KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE!

Trust you to be a right wing gun nutter...lmao...

You will notice that the kids have taken over the assylum called the USA, and they will punish all the other nutters like you to correct some absurd laws to better protect American Citizens and children.

Your on the wrong side of history in everything you think Issy - Oh look you are there again...lmao

Good to see the US kids being so grown-up and leaving the adults in their wake!

Rick Santorum a Republican ex-US Senator and Ex Presidential candidate said...

“How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that,” the Republican said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

I thought that was what Governments were for Rick baby... There are no kids in the Congress or the Senate of the USA to change the l;aw and the kids were doing something both independently and as a group action to force change!

WHAT A GOOSE!

Are you related to him Issy?...lmao You could be brothers...lmao

You probably have the same backward thinking genes...lmao

Right wing craziness is on it's way out Issy...Time for you to grow a brain or forget how to type!...lmao

It's a waste of time talking to them Is Mise.

A few thousand kids have a rally, the left media play it up way beyond its importance, & our ratbag Greens talk about it as if it was millions.

Meanwhile they pretend the millions who want no part of the anti gun lobby don't exist.

Meanwhile the people of France are getting shot, stabbed & burnt alive by a bunch of religious nut Muslims, who should never have been let into the country, & they decry any sensible people who don't want any more of them let in here.

Useful idiots who will still think they were right, as the sword falls to chop off their head.

Obviously too many adult students in the US, as in Au.

The old addage, "youth is wasted on the youth", is true, but we as a society should not be assisting this truism in ways that we do.

Youth need a sense of their own worth, and a development of self sufficiency; they need in their youth, to contact the reality of survival in the real world.

Obviously this is a missing link when children are kept in an overprotective environment of a school, which now includes, in some cases, periods of years of adulthood. We are breeding generations of disconnected and unempathetic nut cases for the future.

And so the rise in the incidence of mental illness, which thinks sincerely, justice is best achieved at the pointy end of a gun!

Hasbeen...Like you the people who are against change are on the wrong side of history and backward thinking.

A few thousand? You can't even be trusted with statistical information you are that deluded...lmao

Step out of the way..The young are taking back the common sense position in society.

Like in the "Me too" movement people are sick of the garbage that has been accepted by society.

Change is happening Hasbeen stop trying to divert things with your crap.

What is happe3ning in France isn't correct but combining the two simply makes you look irrelevant to any common sense discussion.

OOps! You already were...lmao

There were millions of kids who marched for gun control... Not a few thousand like you are lying to say.

You are so lacking in principle that lying is nothing to you...

You are a lousy propagandist but fun to laugh at...lmao

I'm laughing loudly - Loser!...lmao
