Should school be cancelled for a school shooting threat? Yes. Was it? No. Why did they end up cancelling it in the middle of classes? Because of the mass exodus of teachers and students who refused to be in the school with any possible threat. This is insane.

Gun Club
today, at school, a new club started
friends and strangers flocked
a herd of interested, lively souls
curiosity fuelling their excitement
I watch them crowd, the hustle and bustle
around the wooden doorway of S5
a sea of backpacks, blazers and colourful hair
blocking the view to inside 
I have no interest in this club,
I think as I pick up my crochet hook
putting my headphones in to blast paramore
my special way of drowning the world
I don't notice, my focus on twisting the heart
of wool to create pure beauty,
how quiet the doorway to S5 had become
how loud the silence of the crowd was
I daren't look over from my desk
maybe i'm frozen, in denial, wondering
whilst I twisted a cold metal hook
were they firing weighted metal guns
the doorway to S5 is now titled the gun club
i rushed home to tell my mum
she looked at me with bloodshot eyes
as I realised gun club was not fun
there will never be an excited crowd outside S5
instead it is littered with ghosts, bullets, lives, 
beautiful stories that gun club stole
I store my life in a reinforced backpack.

Republicans: All life is precious
Me: Will you get a vaccine to protect others then?
Republicans: No you can’t tell me what to do with my body
Me: You’re telling people with uteri what to do with their body
Republicans: But it’s to save the life of another human
Me: Which is exactly what the vaccines does— it save lives
Republicans: You can’t force me to take a vaccine to save the life of others. There might be complications!
Me: well, then why are you forcing people to have children they don’t want? There are complications with pregnancy and side effects and the possibility of death.
Republicans: fine if you wanna be dead I’m just gonna shoot you with my gun then because my right to bear arms trumps your right to bodily autonomy 
Me: okay then. I have more rights as a dead person than I do as a living one.
Republicans: *shoots me*
Republicans: All lives are precious

What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how: Chris' crowdfunder Aeshna's crowdfunder If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

sorry but Jaime Lannister’s characterisation is so funny to me. yes I tried to kill your eight year old but I draw the line at paying people to do my killing for me. you better believe if I want a third grader dead I will do the child murder myself. preferably with a sword so I can look him in the eye while he dies by my blade

Every young man who wants to buy a gun should be treated like every young woman who seeks an abortion:
A mandatory 48-hour waiting period, written permission from a parent or judge, a note from a doctor proving that he understands what he is about to do, time spent watching a video on individual and mass murders, traveling hundreds of miles at his own expense to the nearest gun shop, and walking through protestors holding photos of loved ones killed by guns protestors who call him a murderer.
It makes more sense to do this for those seeking guns than for women seeking health care.
No young woman needing reproductive freedom has ever murdered a roomful of people in seconds.

I need more Danny ‘No more hero’ Phantom, so here I will be reasoning why he’s an Anti-Hero (in Dp x Dc prompt)
Danny doesn't see Death as the worst thing. He's too familiar with it (He is Death).
Sometimes it's better than 'living'. It's like a 'new beginning', a chance to let go like he tried to he did.
He left hero things with everything in his hometown. Where no matter what, he's been The Villain, The ghost, the menace. 
People Humans only see in him what he did while being mind-controlled or forced to. Not that he saves them every day. They are afraid of him, of his power. 
Just how are people still like Superman and other heroes who are more powerful than regular humans? They get mind-controlled and forced to be evil sometimes too.
That isn't fair. 
And while They chose to save other people's asses because they wanted to, Danny didn't have a choice, if he didn't step in, the town would be destroyed in days. 
He hoped that his parents Fentons would finally realize why ghosts were coming into town, but they just blamed Ghost Boy for all of the wrongdoings and never considered they were wrong. 
So after 2 and a half years of hope, he burned out and just destroyed the portal, cleared out all of the ectoplasm, and left.
Now if ghosts wanted to 'visit' living they needed to go to Danny and personally ask.
This means no more Technus 'I will take over the world' and Emder 'I will make everyone love my music by mind-control', and just Technus 'I'll only check new tech stuff' and Ember 'I'll hang out with Kitty in the park and play some guitar', of course in more human form.
Danny himself decided to stick around Gotham because one - Bats are interesting, and two - ectoplasm (which he tries to clear out, at least a little bit). 
So now he messes with Bats and humans while he's Anti-Hero - Phantom.
And gets yelled at by people at Batburger while he's a regular worker - Danny Nightingale. 
But what will the Justice League do when Phantom will save the world from some big bad ghost with impressive ease, and just leave…
That powerful being is not just some generic troublemaker in the streets of Gotham.
He's the end and sawing of the world (and Infinite Realms).

Billy, having a nerf gun war with the kids, when he's backed into a corner by Max and El, both holding their guns up at him with sinister smirks.
"Any last words, blondie?"
With his hands held up in surrender, Billy sighs, "tell Steve I love him. And he better not remarry!"
Before the words are even fully out, the two girls are pelting him with nerf bullets, cackling at his dramatic display of falling over the couch, a hand clutching his chest.

Jason Todd vs. Tropes pt 1
Let's talk hypervigilance and weapons safety!
Pick your preferred version of events. Era: Jason has survived his showdown with Bruce in Under the Red Hood. He has not yet reconciled with any of the bats.
All guns are loaded unless in a traditional gun safe(s). If one weapon of a particular type is outside of a safe, that's the one that counts for this poll.
Reply or reblog with why you picked what you did... and where you think any explosives might be.

In “The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America,” Carol Anderson argues that the Second Amendment is not about guns – it’s about anti-Blackness. She says it “was designed and has consistently been constructed to keep African-Americans powerless and vulnerable.”
Anderson cites legislative debates from the Founding Fathers and a range of historical records to make some bold points. She says some early lawmakers who supported the Second Amendment were more worried about armed Blacks than British redcoats. She says that even after the Civil War ended, many Southern states banned Black citizens from owning weapons.
And that famous line about a “well-regulated militia?” Well, that was inserted primarily to deal with potential slave revolts – not to repel a foreign army, she says.
“The crafting of the Constitution was of primary concern for folks like James Madison because the Articles of Confederation were not working. And when they went to the Constitutional Convention, the Southern delegates made it really clear that they weren’t going to sign off on any kind of Constitution to strengthen the United States of America unless they could get the clear extension on the Atlantic slave trade, the Three-Fifths Clause so they could get more representation than they were due in Congress, and the Fugitive Slave Clause. Those were the bribes. That was the sign-off for the South to sign off on the Constitution.
But then as Virginia is looking at this Constitution and sees the federal control of the militia, this is when Patrick Henry and George Mason really started leading the charge. And that charge was about either scuttling the Constitution or getting a Bill of Rights to curtail the power of the central government and protecting the militia. Protecting the militia means that they are protecting slavery.
One of the things that many previous historians have not linked up was the role of the militia in putting down slave revolts, in buttressing slave patrols and keeping enslaved Black people, and free Blacks, under the boot of White supremacy.
The emphasis on the Second Amendment has been crafted as a well-regulated militia in terms of (opposing) a tyrannical government or stopping a foreign invasion, and the individual right to bear arms. That’s the way it’s been cast in the legal debates. That’s driven our historical debates. We’ve got a weird bifurcation in the scholarship between the history of slavery and the history of the Second Amendment. What I’m doing is saying these things are all happening at the same time. Let’s see what’s really going on.”
