Perry High School principal dies from wounds sustained in shooting
Fred Rogers, of Mister Rogers fame, once famously said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'” Dan Marburger was one of those helpers. Marburger was the principal of Perry High School in Iowa when a 17-year-old student opened fire in the school earlier this month. Reports…

School gun report for the week of 12/24/23-12/30/23: Christmas Week Edition
12/26/23: Headline: The Covenant Parents Aren’t Going to Keep Quiet on Guns This is an article from the New York Times about how the GOP will even ignore its own voter base when it comes to regulating guns.

The Perry High School shooting was nothing new, and neither were the responses
One week. We couldn’t go one week into the new year without a school shooting happening. If that doesn’t sum us up as a country, I don’t know what does. As you may have heard, there was a school shooting this past Thursday at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa. This would have been the first day back for students after the holiday break. While the school was serving breakfast to some students…

2023: The Year in Trench
It was kind of a ‘meh’ year as far as pop culture went. That’s not to say there weren’t some gems to be found. TV: I’m not the biggest TV watcher anymore, but I did watch two series this year, both animated, of course. While I’m not the biggest anime fan, I did watch an anime series this year, but only because it was based on one of my favorite game franchises. That series was The Legend of…

12/19/23: Headline: Shooting at middle school basketball game Well, it only makes sense since football season is over. *** An unloaded handgun fell out of the backpack of a first-grade student at Reagan Elementary School in Brownsburg, Indiana. The student claimed they didn’t know the gun was in their backpack, and the family claims it must have been put there by someone else. *** 12/20/23:…

Police training and school training for an active shooter differs so greatly, it's deadly
I’m actually not going to spend a lot of time on this post because the journalists behind the story deserve all the credit. ProPublica, PBS Frontline, and The Texas Tribune partnered last month, to bring the public a story about how the students of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, were prepared for an active shooter, but the police weren’t. Part of the school’s training taught the kids…

Do monsters have girlfriends?: Teen charged with threats claims to be ex of Uvalde shooter
Late in November, 19-year-old Victoria Gabriela Rodríguez-Morales of Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, was indicted for allegedly making threats against the community of Uvalde, Texas. As I’m sure you know, Uvalde is home to Robb Elementary School, where one of the worst school shootings in America happened. Police in Uvalde failed to act while 18-year-old Salvador Ramos slaughtered…

School gun report for the week of 12/10/23-12/16/23: Parent paralyzed after pursuing potential school shooter
12/11/23: A 30-year-old Denver man was shot and paralyzed after he witnessed a teen with a gun trying to enter his son’s school. He tried talking the teen into giving up his gun, but instead the teen fled. The man gave chase on foot, but the teen turned around and fired on the man, striking him four times. A lot of people will look at this story and blame the man for his current condition. What…

I can't believe this has to be said, but not all trans people are mass murderers
It’s no secret that I’m not any kind of investigative journalist. As I’m fond of saying, I’m just a guy with a website and an opinion. Some may even say I’m merely a barking dog on the internet. I’m not out pounding the pavement to get the scoop. The only scoops I’m getting are the ones of vanilla ice cream from my freezer. Instead, I have the news come to me, and by that, I mean I signed up for…

Nashville police have investigated themselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing in the Covenant School shooting leak
If you’ll recall, part of the so-called manifesto, written by Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale, was leaked to right-wing hate monger Steven Crowder. Crowder then posted the images to the Nazi-infested social network X, formerly known as Twitter. If this had been any other school shooter, Crowder and his ilk would have been making excuses for the shooter to protect their sacrosanct 2nd…

School gun report for the week of 12/3/23-12/9/23: $17 million not going toward education
12/4/23: Headline: Nebraska lawmakers look at allowing more people to carry guns in schools At least they’re only looking to have off-duty cops as guards, but again, there is no evidence that armed officers in schools prevent school shootings. *** Police in Elk City, Oklahoma, found an unloaded gun at Elk City High School. A 14-year-old was taken into custody. *** 12/5/23: A police officer…

Like most school shooters, the UNLV shooter thought he was better than everyone else
Usually, when I make a post about a school shooting, I’ll start the post with something like, “As you probably heard…”. But you may not have heard about Wednesday’s shooting at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV), where three victims were killed. The shooter was also killed by police after an exchange of gunfire. There are so many mass shootings anymore, it’s really hard to keep track of…

Jury convicts Backpage co-founder on only one charge
A few weeks ago, in November, Backpage co-founder Michael Lacey was convicted on only one charge out of the myriad of charges against him. The federal jury in Arizona remained deadlocked on all but one charge. If they had remained deadlock on all the charges, this would have been the second mistrial declared for Lacey. In the first trial, a mistrial was declared because prosecutors would not stop…
