@CBSNews I've researched school shootings since before Columbine. I'm not the only researcher. There is more than enough info out there to avert most school shootings but media doesn't promote it, and everyone thinks "Not my kid, not my school." Until they're dead wrong. Some resources:

@6WordWednesday @WendyStelt74647 @thisisaccount25 @sdtpdd @Cocker_pasadena @Liberty_Xtreme Yeah, don't cast your pearls before swine!

@Sherree41Weber Yes it is sad. Too bad mom would rather scare her kid than pick up a book to learn what to do and what not to do. In the Uvalde and Parkland shootings, the shooter blasted the bodies even when they were dead...

@EdWeekOpinion And lots of info out there for school educators who'd like to be a little more pro-active:

@HumanEvents There have been plenty of lessons to be learned since BEFORE Columbine. No one is learning them, they only want to try to score political points. How long are we going to play dumb?

#Leakage is a warning sign.

"A counselor told Gray during the call that her son had been talking about a school shooting that morning, according to Gray’s sister, Annie Brown, who described family discussions of the events"

@Old_SchoolEddie @CollinRugg It reminds me of other school shooters whose parents provided their children with guns to "bond" with their child--Kip Kinkel (who killed both parents before his school rampage), and Adam Lanza, who killed his mother before his school rampage...

@ChloeWKRC 123 new guns laws were passed in the year after Parkland; many more since then. More laws will not do anything but that's all people know and grasp at. I've studied school shootings since before Columbine--we know more than enough to stop most school shootings....a few resources:

Saw this video of an outdoor rock concert in Kiev last Saturday and was struck by how much it bothered me. Here in the US we’re told Ukrainian boys & girls are in a daily fight for their lives. I guess the reality is that most are just living their lives. https://t.co/GaRKTJ42mt

@K12ssdb There have been 10 deaths in Tennessee schools THIS school semester?! Which school shooting/s????

@ziman_kristen Uh...did you also listen to what ELSE she said??? Wow, I loved your book but had no idea you would be against free speech...

Jacinda Ardern wants to control your thoughts.

During UN speech yesterday, Jacinda says free speech is a weapon of war, and global censorship is necessary to save humanity.

@KateSchweit @politico Big deal. His own son will never face any meaningful consequences from his actions (lying on the gun form about drug use, for starters). Rules for thee but not for me. We're paying attention...

Someone told me today that she hopes the schools start using clear backpacks, but in the same breath told me she works in the kitchen and the backdoors are always unlocked and she's afraid someone will enter with a gun. But focus on clear backpacks...

If anyone has one of these gun safes, test them out to make sure they're working properly. Lock the gun safe in a closet, and don't allow children to see how the safe works. Kids notice everything.

It has been a while since I last posted on this account; been super busy with my research on school shootings. I've done this research for almost 25 years, more intensely since 2019. Just one of my research projects--threat assessment.

[K-12 School Shootings stats @reseacher2022]

Did a deep dive into threat assessment this winter, seeing as so many school safety experts say threat assessment is the #1 thing schools should be doing for safety. We see the results when they don't use TA, as mandated here in VA in 2013. Filled one binder, working on another!

Went to Charleston & Edisto Island SC last week and ate sooo much good food! South Carolina has the best food of anywhere. Dragged home grits, rice, tea, cornmeal, sea salt, pecans, cheese straws, etc. Even unicorn grits from @gregjohnsman #unicorngrits #pinkgrits #CharlestonSC

@cabo49 @midpeninsulava Follow me please to DM about this...

@JoAnn_Stores Thanks Justin but I finally found out what it is--spaghetti cord!
