Story.

A 12-year-old student was fatally shot by a classmate at a South Carolina middle school, officials said on Thursday.
The suspected shooter, also 12, was arrested and charged with murder and other firearm charges in the shooting at Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville, according to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office.

Although already doing a fantastic job academically that any parent would be proud of, I have a few suggestions that would make Tanglewood the envy of the country:

1. There are only two Black fists in the mural. For the next one, perhaps have a group of Blacks (at least 5) raising their fists in solidarity and protest.
2. Extend the duration of the Hispanic Heritage and Black History celebrations.
3. To continue championing diversity, reduce white students to under 10%.
 
If the other 12-year-old had a gun this wouldn't have happened. The school should arm them all. There's no age restriction in the 2nd Amendment.
 
3. To continue championing diversity, reduce white students to under 10%.
I assume that the Caucasian students who are currently there are (a) the children of liberals who want their children to start getting used to the diverse country that they will be living in or (b) the children of parents who lack the money to send their children to a private school.
 
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the shooter was bullied by the victim or perceived something like that in their 12 year old brain.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the shooter is allowed to play first person shooter type video games make shooting someone seem “acceptable”.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see poverty or mental health issues in the shooters family.

My heart breaks for both families, and the adult that is responsible for allowing the 12 year old unsupervised access to that gun should face criminal charges.
 
Will we see the kid get the maximum penalty for a juvenile or is this another case of their being a bunch of charges to look tough on crime only to be plead down to a wrist slap when no one is looking

Awesome racist screed, Dude. Are you wearing your hood right now?

Greenville is 64% non-Hispanic white, indicating a high degree of "diversity" at Tanglewood (12.2% white). The school is certainly is deserving of the William "Bill" T. Wylie Valued Lives Award for School Excellence in Diversity award, application here.
 
So I am curious here. Can anyone tell me what these two pictures have in common?
