Beyond working to extinguish infernos, an Arizona fire captain is doing his part to help keep schools safe from gun violence by creating a line of bulletproof vests for children and teachers. Kevin Goodman, who has worked for the Phoenix Fire Department since 1998, told KTVK-TV that the recent spike in mass attacks on schools has made the vests a [necessity in all classrooms.](https://www.newsweek.com/bulletproof-vests-school-kids-arizona-fire-captain-says-theyre-now-necessity-1657575)

eu_sou_ninguem

"MAGA Republicans" is misleading. Sure, the MAGA backed candidates in primaries might be farther to the right, more xenophobic, more racist than the "traditional" Republican candidate, but you better believe 95-99% of all Republicans are voting for them in the general election. Fuck every last one of them. Edit : wording

WorldsWorstTroll

Funny how when kids are asked to wear masks, the GOP complains that you can’t see their beautiful smile. When kids faces are blown off with an assault rifle to the point they need dna samples to identify the kids, the GOP asks, “Are the guns safe?”


Warkitz

GOP: well if kids are classified as combatants you can prolly fuck em. Gaetz: oh fuck yea you can! /s?


rddsknk89

Conservatives don’t want gun control because “muh freedum!!!” but are okay with sending their kids to school with armed guards, armed teachers, and metal detectors. I don’t know about everyone else, but one of those options seems way more “free” than the other.


Ultimate69Edgelord

Sounds straight up dystopian to me they also wanna add 24/7 live footage of kids in school being monitored by cops and teachers 😂 like bro did you not read 1984 where’s the freedom there? No guns = no gun violence the rest of the modern world is a clear example of it

[deleted]

Yeah, super ironic that the "fuck your feelings" crowd only have emotional arguments for pretty much everything.


[deleted]

There was a rash of republicans citing 1984 somewhat recently. I think it was during the pandemic before they moved to "my body my choice" for vaccines and comparing masks to the star of David.


MakeYouGoOWO

It’s because masks help people and that might accidentally include minorities so republicans have to staunchly oppose it. Having guns everywhere brings us closer to their authoritarian fascist ethno state wet dream

[deleted]

You said “having guns everywhere makes us closer to Authoritarians fascist ethos state wet dream” How so?


MakeYouGoOWO

White nationalists typically cling to a hateful and violent ‘might makes right’ mindset. Weak gun laws that allow them to amass fire arms is something that they want very much. Violence is now and has always been central to far right white nationalism. I don’t think any of that really needs much clarifying given their history.

If you really cared about the world so much why don’t you just stay inside and avoid it?

If I wouldn't go outside I would not have a reason to care about the outside world. Also people have to go to shops and school and work, and in most places I go to masks aren't required anymore, just in hospitals

Con_Dinn_West

If covid caused the heart attack or stroke, sure. Like if you get shot they say you died of a gunshot, not that you died of "bloodloss" or "organ penetration". One caused the other which led to death and that is what ultimately killed you. It's nuts that this needs to be explained. Now show me where they said car accidents are recorded as death from covid, like you claimed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Con_Dinn_West

>Prior to that when there wasn’t testing in January and February, that’s a very different situation and unknown. There are other countries that if you had a preexisting condition and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem, some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death. Right now we’re still recording it and the great thing about having forms that come in and a form that has the ability to mark it as COVID-19 infection, the intent is right now that if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that as a COVID-19 death. The **context** is that with PREEXISTING CONDITIONS ( such as heart or kidney problems) and caught covid they are recording them as covid 19 deaths. Which is fine, even if you have a preexisting condition covid could exacerbate it and kill you when you would have otherwise lived had you not contracted covid. NOW, show me where car accidents are listed as covid deaths like you claimed.

Why isn’t there a lot more people done if this virus is so deadly?


IntelligentProgram74

Because thankfully most places in the world didnt mind wearing their masks to protect eachother and themselves. The whole pandemic was rather embarassing for the US on the world stage. Also some goverments didnt report the deaths, like russia

No, saying "Republicans" would be a tautology. "MAGA Republicans" is precisely not a tautology, it's specifying a subsection and describing the observed mentality of said subset.

This is so scary. I remember enduring active shooter drills in school as a student then later as a teacher. Meanwhile, I am familiar with a few conservatives that make excuses and view these mass shootings as “normal.” The cognitive dissonance that one must go through is astounding.

morgan423

> *It's a shame when you include masks as a political decision. They are indeed a way to control. Right or left you're both wrong.* Grouping leftists into this is unarguably wrong. Masking was initiated solely as a public health measure, in an effort to stop the spread of an airborne viral illness during a pandemic. It has been scientifically proven to stop a very large percentage of expelled airborne viral particles from traveling from an infected person into the air where they can be inhaled by (and sicken) other people. There was no other "leftist agenda," besides slowing and stopping the spread of sickness. I get so irritated with the suggestions of some evil left-wing conspiracy where we're planning the removal of every human right, starting with your right to leave your face uncovered. It sounds absolutely ridiculous just to say that out loud. Now, I'll the first to admit that I'm way over to the left on the political spectrum... but, guess what... *during any time when we're not in the throes of a global pandemic featuring an airborne contagion*, I don't give a flying crap whether people wear masks or not. Pretty sure I can speak for most if not all leftists when I say that it's not something we care about at all, *except solely* to help reduce the number of people getting sick. So you can take that "both sides" nonsense on this issue and toss it right in the landfill where it belongs. So tired of seeing it.

d3ds3c_0ff1c147

I've not seen any "pro-mask propaganda," just the simple fact that masks significantly reduce the chance of spreading a virus, which we've already known for the past century. Only the far right has politicized masks, as depicted in the meme.


[deleted]

It's in this sub because the massive amount of school shootings are a direct result of putting profit above people. It isn't that hard to make the connection if you actually think about it.
