This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
The source on the STEM school vigil is right wing.

Never change, STEMLords :rolleyes:

My understanding is that the people who got up to speak on gun control prevented any students from speaking at the vigil.

….

Singleton and other Democratic senators strongly objected to Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth, who presides over the Senate, for his quick gavel on tabling the rape and incest amendment on a voice vote, meaning there is no recorded vote.

As that disagreement simmered, Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, moved to delay a vote on the abortion bill until next week.

...

But Singleton said it’s important that votes are recorded on the abortion bill.

"I know it’s a non-debatable motion. I know the rules. But at least allow us to be able to vote on it. They just didn’t want to be on the record voting on it, to strip that amendment off the bill.

No, the way I read it, it was that the speakers didn't said anything about the students who gave his life nor did they let anyone from the school talk.

Motherfuckers screwed this up big time.

quote:

Survivors of the shooting at the charter school in Colorado that killed one student and injured eight others stormed out of a community vigil Wednesday, calling it a "political stunt."

The event, organized by Team Enough — the student-led initiative of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence — was intended to be an interfaith vigil to honor the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting survivors and 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo, who died Tuesday after trying to stop one of the shooters.

Hundreds of grieving students, parents, and community members packed the Highlands Ranch school's gym, but their anger and frustration became apparent after none of the STEM students themselves had a chance to speak about Castillo at the vigil.

Instead, several speakers — including Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Michael Bennet, Democratic Rep. Jason Crow, and a Moms Demand Action volunteer, Laura Reeves — addressed the need for gun control legislation

"[Our kids] have a job to do when they come to school," Bennet told the crowd. "Their job is not to fix American’s broken gun laws. Their job is not, as Kendrick so selflessly did yesterday, give up their own life to save their classmates' lives or their teachers' lives. That's not their job. They’re relying on the rest of us to do our job so they can do their job."

"Let STEM kids speak," an attendee shouted during the vigil as some students began walking out in protest.
However, an organizer of the event told the crowd that they hadn't been able to connect with any STEM students to have them speak at the vigil.

"You never asked," some students said in response, prompting an exodus of students and parents, according to an eyewitness who attended the vigil but wished to remain anonymous


They’re so loving tone deaf. Also why do all of these dudes look like carbon-copy politicians from the 80s? Primary the lot of them, loving disgraceful.

And you know the Right’s gonna have a loving field day with this.

quote:

One organizer blamed the media for sending attendees outside, but students later said that was false and that they had chosen to leave themselves.

The protesting students then gathered in the high school hallway, chanting, "Mental health," "STEM strong," and "gently caress the media," the eyewitness told BuzzFeed News on Thursday.

Everyone was upset there was no time to honor Kendrick," one eyewitness said, adding that students and parents appeared to be frustrated at the news media for taking photos of people crying.

"It's just about votes and something that doesn't have anything to do with anything," a school parent, Chris Barrette, told KRDO-TV. "It's about the victims, our faculty, and the first responders, the horror that our students went through just yesterday."

Many students then returned to the gym and held a moment of silence for Castillo and the shooting survivors. Several of them took the microphone to express their frustrations with the organized event and to speak about Castillo.

”This was not a vigil," one student said in his speech. "This was purely a political stunt. This is not what we wanted for Kendrick. We didn’t want Kendrick to be a prop. We wanted Kendrick to be mourned. We wanted all of you to join us in that mourning, but that was not allowed here. We all walked out. We were not kicked out, despite what you have heard. And we're back now to tell you that we love Kendrick and we love all of the survivors."

One of Castillo's classmates broke down as she remembered her friend.
"I came here for my close friend Kendrick," she said. "I just wanted to talk about him a little bit because everybody's been sitting here talking about gun violence and avoiding the fact that he died.”

If you’re gonna post a rightwing rag’s take on a situation at least do the diligence of trying to find a better source on it, ‘lest you get the responses above.

It was absolutely inappropriate for these guys to use it as a platform for their Z-List presidential run bullshit. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Chud school or not.

As a bleeding heart liberal who believes we should ban all guns forever...

Mental health is the rallying cry I've been using for years. Don't let the right co-opt it. We have a gently-caressing mental health problem in this country by not addressing it. It's what drives these poo poo heads to commit these crimes because the system is too cowardly to call the poo poo that leads to this a health problem. They claim free speech and are too cowardly to respond "no, you got problems, go to a councilor/therpaist and get on the list."

Don't let the conspiracy nutter co-opt this poo poo, we should be able to get help and move on, the system isn't built that way because we are gently-caressing cowards.

I know it's just a joke and all, but we should probably quit with the speedrun stuff at this point. The entire Watergate scandal from break-in to Nixon's resignation lasted just about exactly two years. Assuming that Trump's crime was his election, we're already in a slower moving scandal.

The writing is very obviously on the wall already with various things that corporate has decided to do just in the last year or so that I've been here. The ever present demand of "more growth, more revenue, more bodies, more MONEY" quarter after quarter is what is most likely driving this.

the issue is they're a government only contractor, one of the big War Boys, so I'm not sure how they expect to "gig-ify" getting security clearances.

Although Trump is just handing them out so maybe they'll make a bid of "Hey, fire all of the civil servants, give us a free pipeline to add people via our bullshit app, and you'll save so much money on payroll".

Ever heard of DoD Challenges? Because that’s basically gigging tech innovation.
