WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?…
27 school shootings have taken place so far this year.
This comes only ten days after a shooting at a Tops grocery in Buffalo, New York, in which ten people were killed. This one seemed to have topped that one.
Since 2018, Education Week has been keeping tabs on the number of school shootings. Its database indicates that there have been 118 cases of this kind since it first started keeping records in its database.
The situation at Uvalde is still unfolding, and the article in Education Week only discusses the 26 shootings that took place before Tuesday’s tragedy. Updates from isthatpork can come at any moment.
Of the 26 shootings at schools that resulted in injuries or deaths:
40 individuals were hurt, and 6 people lost their lives as a result (5 students or other children and one staff member)
This group keeps tabs on incidents of shootings in which a firearm was discharged and any person (other than the suspect) was injured by a bullet as a direct result of the occurrence. In addition, Education Week only includes occurrences that take place on the grounds of a kindergarten through twelfth-grade school, on a school bus, and that take place either while school is in session or during an event that is sponsored by a school.
Stever Kerr had something passionate to say on the situation and we think he’s spot-on;
Food Years Up Steve!
isthatporks take; they say a picture says a thousand words but what about a situation? it has to be obvious to a slow as molasses mind that this “type of energy keeps repeating itself and def ears are keeping it that way”. THE EQUATION seems simple to understand-a child with growing pains, the wrong parent plus guns around, and irresponsible elders may equal a situation like this. I’m only suggesting one of many possibilities of why these copycat “little killers” are killing. When you’re a kid, you have voids, many of them, and every day it’s you against the world. Adults forget that. They forget that kids need emotional milk to go along with their daily growing activities. Everything is not about “a roof over a head, food, and make sure you have good grades in school”. PARENTS ARE YOU HEARING ME ” THEY NEED YOU!” they need a solid conversation and attention just as animals do. Sometimes at a whims notice. As far as gun control or the people who should be “refereeing” these situations to protect kids against themselves I ask “what are you gonna do now?” what the hell are you gonna say now?” “what’s your malfunction or political talking point?” cause the We, Me way you been going about things is just not cutting it. In case you’re not keeping a record “this is the 27th school shooting this year”. Our message to all of you, try being and understand that life is “Me, We. That means you take responsibility as you expect others to in life equations such as these then people will follow in the right way. Set the example. Stop being a brat and tell people it’s all about you cause whether you understand it or not your decisions are killing people. We, Me people always leave shit for others to clean up. They create the void, claim victim, and expect all to be well. As this situation has confirmed, it just never works out that way. They’re just too stupid to understand.
(UPDATE 3) MAY 25TH …
BEN O’ROUKE CONFRONTS GREGG ABOTT AT THE SHOOTERS PRESSER
isthatporks double-take; we really don’t care for a catfight between politicians but due to the circumstances, this one is worth every bit of it and we’re glad Ben is standing up for the obvious. Hell, at least he’s trying to fill the void instead of trying to defend the void that many republicans just can’t seem to get out the way of. You’re never out of line for doing that. Republicans are guarding “non-change” on this issue like they’re protecting a billion dollars of cash. Maybe a billion dollars of bullshit. Just my take. Seems to be a whole lotta twilight zone pork here. Over and over again here we go. Do you remember the twilight zone song? let me not get off-topic so don’t forget, if you ever want to know where the World is going look no further than who is doing what when they should be doing something. Especially in situations like these. There are many def ears out there and you should be able to pick out which ones.
Cleveland, Ohio — AKRON Officers in Akron, Ohio, shot and killed a 25-year-old Black man last week despite the fact that he was unarmed, according to the city’s police chief.
This was one of the details that surfaced on Monday in the killing of Jayland Walker, who was shot and killed by police after he fled a routine traffic stop. Police presented body cam footage from the pursuit and shooting at a press conference on Sunday, shedding light on the conduct of officers but also raising additional questions about the circumstances of his death, which are still being probed.
There was only one traffic ticket on Mr. Walker’s record, and he had no history of criminal behavior. The police claimed they were first after him for a traffic infraction and an equipment violation.
The police have placed eight officers on administrative leave for their involvement in the shooting, which is standard procedure.
Hundreds of protestors marched through downtown Akron after the recordings were released, demanding justice for Mr. Walker and condemning police violence. Mr. Walker’s family encouraged the community to remain peaceful.
A police officer states that he heard gunfire coming from Mr. Walker’s car door, and a subsequent video shows that this was the case. During the news conference, footage from outside the automobile was shown that appeared to capture a muzzle flare coming from Mr. Walker’s driver-side door, but the actual shot itself was not visible.
At the press conference, police revealed that they had located a revolver in Mr. Walker’s automobile and that a bullet casing had been discovered near the location from which they believed he had fired. The authorities released a still image showing a firearm and a gold band on the passenger seat. An automobile tragedy recently claimed the life of Mr. Walker’s girlfriend.
Family attorney Bobby DiCello stated that Mr. Walker had gotten the gun quite recently. We don’t know if it accidentally went off since Jayland was unfamiliar with weapons, he said. After his death, investigators discovered a revolver in his car, but there were no bullets inside.
Police stated at the press conference that there was a loaded magazine on the seat, but did not specify whether or not the weapon in the car was loaded.
In the film, an officer can be heard remarking that Mr. Walker’s automobile is slowing down as the chase (which lasted more than seven minutes) continues. (At times, Mr. Walker’s automobile had reached speeds of above 50 mph while driving through residential areas.) Ski mask and all, Mr. Walker gets out of the car and runs away seconds later.
The tape appears to show several officers pursuing Mr. Walker into a nearby parking lot with their firearms drawn and shouting at him during the brief chase that ensued. The cops claimed that they had tried using Tasers early but were unsuccessful. As soon as the officers fire, Mr. Walker collapses to the ground.
The Chief of Police in Akron, Ohio, Stephen L. Mylett, stated that he did not know how many shots had been fired at Mr. Walker. Even though he referenced the medical examiner’s list of wounds, he was unable to determine the actual number of bullets that hit him, but he believed it to be “quite high.”
Officers, according to Chief Mylett, claimed that Mr. Walker had suddenly turned toward them and gestured toward his waist. However, the chief found that Mr. Walker wasn’t armed when he escaped his vehicle.
However, Mr. DiCello claims that in a previous discussion between the chief and the family, the chief stated that he had seen no evidence to suggest that the officers’ lives were in danger.
The Ohio BCI is looking into it. As soon as that is done, the case will be sent to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for review.
Prosecutors will decide whether or not to press charges against the officers, but similar shootings involving police have seldom resulted in criminal charges being brought. If shots were fired during the chase, it could lend credence to police allegations that they were in danger and influence the decision of whether to press charges.
Mr. DiCello was not happy with the way Mr. Walker was portrayed at the press conference held by the police. He said they want to make him into a monster in a mask with a pistol. At the press conference, the family’s attorneys also demanded that the city reveal the full tapes rather than just clips from them.
The police have stated their intention to release all body camera footage obtained from officers present during the incident. According to them, this would include recordings from all eleven cops present at the time of the incident.
Tensions, already high in Akron after the shooting, escalated after the video’s distribution on Sunday. More than a hundred protesters gathered outside of downtown the day before hundreds more marched to City Hall for a rally organized by the Akron chapter of the NAACP.
Chris Mercury, 41, an African American barbershop proprietor in Akron, said, “It just continues reproducing, the same thing, over and over again.” He continued, “People in the country would always blame the victim for what happened.
To paraphrase his wife, Monique, who runs a retail clothing company, “the threat to those who were in the same position as Walker, the danger is urgent no matter what they do.”
She went on to say that “people of all colors and backgrounds need to recognize this is happening and it simply appears to be getting worse.”
The Walkers have asked their city to avoid resorting to violence.
“If you can do anything for the family, please give peace, give dignity and give justice a chance for Jayland,” Mr. DiCello said on Sunday. “My clients are private people. Jayland was a private kid. He wasn’t married. He wasn’t a criminal. He obviously was in pain. He didn’t deserve to die.”
Our sources confirms that a mother in Minnesota killed herself and her three children after discovering the body of her husband floating in a lake.
On Friday at at 10:30 a.m., the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office and the Maplewood Police Department rushed to a trailer park for a report of a probable suicide.
A press release claims that upon arrival to the Rolling Hills Estates Mobile Home Park, authorities located the remains of Kos Lee. His age and cause of death have not been revealed.
Officials “responded to a welfare check in the region of Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park” in Vadnais Heights at roughly 4:00 p.m., more than five hours later, as stated in the press release.
An adult female with three young children had a request for a welfare check placed on them. Sheriff’s deputies and police officers located a car and several goods inside, including a pair of children’s shoes.
The park was closed and a search was underway for 23-year-old tattoo artist Molly Cheng and her children.
On Friday, a boy’s body was pulled from the water at about 7:30 p.m.. Another young youngster was found dead in the lake shortly before midnight.
Cheng’s body and the remains of her daughter were recovered Saturday morning at around 11 a.m.
The press statement states, “All three youngsters mentioned are believed to be under the age of five or six.”
Police have yet to reveal how Cheng died.
The circumstances surrounding the probable triple homicide at the lake remain under investigation. Investigators have not determined a cause of death.
Multiple accounts state that an alligator attacked a Florida man early on Tuesday morning after the man mistook the creature for a dog.
NBC network WFLA-TV and CBS affiliate WTSP-TV reported that the man was walking outside the Warm Mineral Springs Motel in North Port around 12:35 a.m. on Tuesday when the 7-foot lizard latched onto his right leg.
Authorities said he reported hearing a dog growling in the brush near the trail he was on before he was attacked.
According to ABC affiliate WFTS-TV, the 49-year-old victim was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Venice.
“Thankfully, he’s going to be okay,” said the Warm Mineral Springs owner to WTSP-TV when asked about his hospital visit with the man.
His health status is still a mystery.
A professional trapper was able to remove the assaulting gator before it was apprehended and trapped by the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.
Witnesses told WBBH-TV in Fort Meyers, Florida, that the man was outside a motel trying to light a cigarette when he was attacked.
WTSP-TV received an email from a sheriff’s official saying that the man didn’t hesitate to step out of the way because “the figure appeared to look like a dog with a lengthy leash.”
WFTS-TV reports that a sheriff’s office spokeswoman stated that the alligator was “holding” on to the victim and “pulling” on his muscle/tissue.
According to the reports, the man’s leg was ripped off by the gator as he tried to flee. During an interview with WBBH-TV, a witness said that the man’s partner screamed for help when the attack started.
“I walked out there because she was crying and begging for me to come out and help,” said the witness, who was identified as Will by the site.
According to WTSP, the victim was able to draw the attention of a neighboring deputy who was responding to a separate case. Paramedics were dispatched to the site by the officer, who called in the emergency services.
The alligator was captured by Sgt. James Achille before the trapper arrived, according to the outlet.
According to WBBH, authorities suspect the gator came out of a drain on the roadside near the motel.
This incident was also being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. According to WFLA-TV, the commission is looking into the event.
