I question why you jump to conclusions. Let me be clear I am aware of the horrors of man. I have been witness to enough. I do not need to be educated about this crisis anymore.

Why do all these events keep happening? For the likes, for the clicks, because it gets our attention. Why do people shoot up schools? To get their point across. Wish I could have talked to the trans kid to let him know that we all know the Christian church is bullshit and is the opposite of love.

But whatever the intentions are in realeasing this video, ultimately it is a play-by-play for all those sick fucks who want to do something similar because their life is so fucked up or sad.

Next time someone has a question you don't have an answer to, you don't have to respond with a presumptuous comment.

From reporter Lillian Roy:

The six people whose bodies were recovered from the St. Lawrence River Thursday consisted of two families of Romanian and Indian origins who were likely trying to enter the U.S. illegally, police said Friday.

On Friday, Akwesasne Mohawk Police gave an update on the six bodies found in a marsh area during an aerial search with the Canadian Coast Guard. One of them was a young child, who was found with a Canadian passport, police told CTV News Thursday. The child was a member of the Romanian family.

The idea was that if there was an intruder or shooter you could stay low, crawl to the wall and hit one of the buttons without showing yourself through a window or be forced to go to the wall mounted alarm controller to hit the panic button.

I can’t remember if we also had remotes in addition to the buttons but I think not…

Problem we had with these buttons was furniture placement. Couches and beds might block access to some or even trigger the button if pressed too close to the wall. Some homes had pull strings instead of buttons, I always guessed that was the reason.

Loathe the pro-cop propaganda coming out of this disaster. Yes, people who were paid to do their jobs actually did their jobs. Great. It’s fucking disgusting tragedy that CHILDREN WERE MURDERED AGAIN IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING. This is just like those “feel good” stories about a classroom buying the school janitor a car so we can drive to work everyday instead of walking. We are missing the point by MILES

'Small arms fire' refers to most handguns, and one of the reasons armed officers wear them is not only because it helps protect them against incoming fire from an armed assailant, but it also gives them some minimum of protection from their own firearm in the event that someone knocks them over and takes it from them.

And they do resist hangun calibers. You'll probably break a rib or two and bruise a lung, and you'll be out of the fight, but you'll be alive instead of bleeding out on the sidewalk somewhere.

However, most body armor isn't rated for rifle calibers. A rifle round can punch right through Kevlar and can deform steel plates to the point where the steel itself can cause injury because it's pressing on the wound.
