A fact of life... when living in America. Third world country that doesn't tell its inhabitants.

3 assassination attempts. In what 3 months? And they're all from Republicans.

The most recent "assassination attempt" was just drummed up by the media. I haven't seen any evidence it was anything other than a man with some guns in his car who happened to be near the rally.

Yeah but he's "important" fuck your kids though.

yeah it is crazy fact of life that schools get shot up so much more frequently than police stations and federal buildings.

almost like politicians and police are safer than school children in the system run by police and politicians.

Also that this "fact of life" almost entirely applies only to schools in the US. The world works in mysterious ways indeed. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

what’s so frustrating is that this “they’re a fact of life” mentality is a self-fulfilling prophecy. and the longer it continues to used as a justification for inaction, the harder it becomes to convince people that gun violence is a solvable problem.

"That's why your parents' tax dollars should be paying for nice, safe, private religious schools!" /s

No, for tanks. School children need little tanks, like those Barbie thingies but bullet proof and closed. Make schools drive in.

Or give each child it's own protective glass shield. Maybe some sort of cubicle.

Seeing the top and back completely open, I see it as just for show/security theater.

It's time to deploy the-glass-is-necessary-because-its-really-a-hologram conspiracy.

I read that JD Vance is an AI holopresence

Or a "hole"

JD Vance is just ChatGPT in a robot in a skin suit

Wasn't the guy who shot at trump staged behind him?

All that glass is doing is paying the audio engineers for extra work to get the front rows speakered too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

He was on a roof kinda to the side, the people he injured (+ killed) were behind trump

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

One who hit him was to the front right of him.

But was thinking why you don't just pick a spot behind him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, they should just put a box or dome over him as it would just need someone crazy enough but smart enough to calculate an arc.

Better yet, just hold the rallies in a properly inspected building. (Not sure if any property owners will let them rent anymore though.)

Airtight and soundtight would be funny

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wonder how they deal with drones.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There’s only one way to find out!

Hypothetically.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Can't wait until we use a predator drone to dome a predator.
