Surprising to many, it's not hard to do. They literally have free software for that kinda stuff online. It's wack. A lot of phone scammers do the same thing + spoofing someone else's number, I've literally gotten phone calls from myself. We need a stricter crackdown on this malicious software that people use for this kinda crap.

Knowing the exact day and time that every student in the school is going to be huddled in the corner of each classroom is an advantage if you are looking to inflict maximum damage. No one is roaming the halls, everyone in administration thinks it’s a drill, so if your goal is destruction… you’ve got sitting ducks.

And yeah, we had a free lunch program. But if you weren’t on it and just forgot your money or your lunch account didn’t have enough… tough! No lunch for you. Google “lunch debt”. It’s a real thing and schools do not care.

Columbine was 24 years ago. Over a thousand people have been injured in a school shooting since then, with hundreds dead.

We aren’t getting better at handling this because it’s apparently not a priority to any of our lawmakers - from Mayors, who in some towns ARE in charge of the police, to Federal legislators.

Ya’ll gotta vote this year and every year. Show up. Raise your concerns in a calm manner. We saw record voter turnout in 2020 and the President can’t do anything about this. In 2021 we went back down to a 22% voter turnout.

VOTE like your kids lives depend on it because they do.

Still doesn't answer my question of how that's an advantage to the shooter. By that logic, they could call in saying they saw a shooter and then go in guns blazing.

No idea what schools you went to but all the schools I went to and my daughter went to there absolutely were free lunches and breakfasts for those that couldn't pay. Heck, for my daughter's schools we were required to fill out the forms even if we knew we didn't qualify because the school gets federal money regardless.

I don’t disagree but the law should be based on an individual’s impairment. Nobody wants people out on the road drunk or stoned (at least I don’t).

The problem with testing for cannabis as opposed to alcohol is that, as the law currently exists, there is no real correlation between testing positive and actual impairment. A blood alcohol level is a pretty fair indication of someone’s impairment.

Politician love “zero tolerance” laws to sound tough on crime. Zero tolerance for cannabis just means that thousands of unimpaired drivers will be charged with DUI. Even if you don’t care about the repercussions for individuals, that is a huge waste of time, money and law enforcement resources, IMO.
