      Not only schools, there are whole neighborhoods in most cities that are nothing less than a war zone with people involved being younger and younger. Why should gangs risk jail when they can recruit bored teens or tweens to do their dirty work and not be charged as adults?

      But a few damaged Teslas are a problem?

        Where are these neighborhoods? Do you know what urban warfare actually looks like? Have you seen footage of Gaza for example?

          You make a good point. Maybe I’ve fallen into the trap of seeing street after street of boarded up buildings and hearing of houses being hit by stray bullets every couple of months and thinking it is a war zone.

          I’ve never witnessed an actual war zone and can only go by images and videos I’ve seen. Maybe the better term is “areas with frequent gang activity that could mean innocent bystanders could get hit with a bullet”?

        A capitol building, too, if I remember correctly.

        This presidency is debasing every institution it touches. It is built on the corruption of the courts, or he wouldn’t be in power at all.

      What do you mean nothing happens? The school shooters either end up in prison or dead.
