Knoxville School Shooting

It's good to see America finally getting back to normal, like pre-COVID days.

A day without a mass shooting in America is like a day without sunshine.

A mass shooting, a black man wrongly shot by police, I could almost go out for dinner....

The governor there just signed a bill removing the need for a license to carry. Thankfully all the dead can be buried fully armed.

I guess the Roaring 20s has started.

Why is our country so trashy?

Because Russia owns the NRA, has literal spies inside of it who fuck Republican operatives & funnel money to pro-gun candidates in order to sow as much chaos & kill as many Americans as possible. The GOP is aRussian front organization.

I thought the NRA was broke.

The NRA file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in January 2021.

Donald Trump filed for bankruptcy 6 times before becoming president. He still exists

I lived in Knoxville for almost 7 years, from the news, it's happened in Austin-East high school, I could be wrong here but most likely it didn't involve white people this time, that part of town are mostly black residents.

Also this was not the first time Knoxville had school shooting, about 15 years ago when I was still in Knoxville, a high school student killed the principal and injured a few in west part of the town, but for some reason that shooting didn't make the national news.

You know you're in America when news about a cop shooting someone is interrupted by news about a school shooting

USA! USA!

And of course, children shooting other children.

I'd just gone over to the New York Times Website to read up on this, but thought it odd that I could somehow not find an article about it there. Maybe the event or its circumstances didn't quite fit their desired news agenda narrative today, or at all (?).

Normal indeed. Shooting address is 2800 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. And good news, it's not a school shooting.

The shooting did happen at the school building, but a student did not shoot one of his peers or teachers, which is the typical definition of a school shooting. Apparently shot cops don't count.

TBI Director Davis Rausch clarified: "We have to be careful with our language. ... This wasn't a school shooting. This was an officer-involved shooting inside a school."

So police killed another young black man. Enough is enough. They need to be dismantled. #defundthepolice

by Anonymousreply 18April 15, 2021 7:11 PM

R17 So the young man who was shot was firing at police?

by Anonymousreply 19April 15, 2021 7:31 PM

it's in Knoxville, there won't be any protests from BLM etc, not going to happen.

[quote] After years of begging the city to put body cams on KPD officers, they finally got them two weeks ago. The city signed a $5 million contract to put a body cam on every uniformed officer. Residents requested the footage, as well as Mayor Kincannon. The DA, Charme Allen, refuses.
