Anyone listening to the White House listening session? -- HokieSignGuy 02/21/2018 4:59PM

Should you really need a note to remind yourself to show empathy? -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:19PM

No. Trump is mental. He's good at one line insults. Useless for anything -- Shenhoo 02/21/2018 10:55PM

What a pathetic, and unhelpful tweet, and post. And that's supposed to be -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 6:29PM

Terrible idea to send him out there with talking points. -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:31PM

They're not "talking points". What would you like me to know about your -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 6:44PM

Lol, Trump running a meeting? ** -- Hooddihsm 02/22/2018 12:17PM

No...those are talking points too.Your example is more a cliche, a bromide -- 111Balz 02/22/2018 07:19AM

I still think it'd be nice if he didn't need -- wahoo138 02/22/2018 12:40AM

I saw this as nothing more than grandstanding by Trump. Yes, I believe he -- graycalhoo 02/21/2018 6:55PM

Because either he, or someone smart with his ear -- wahoo138 02/22/2018 12:29AM

This is possible, but the point still stands -- graycalhoo 02/22/2018 08:24AM

The guy has no moral center at all. Which says a lot about the “Christian” -- WahooRQ 02/21/2018 10:09PM

President Obama met with every family individual, not a critique of Trump, -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:47PM

Oh good Lord. This is why people get sick of media/politics and -- HokieSignGuy 02/21/2018 6:28PM

Same group of people who demonized public schools and teachers, -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:35PM

I'm actually impressed at how long this is going and how much time -- HokieSignGuy 02/21/2018 5:27PM

The Columbine Dad was really powerful...his child would be in their -- Tuckahokie 02/21/2018 5:43PM

More guns and drills. Ridiculous ** -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 5:10PM

Why is it ridiculous to provide better security for our schools? ** -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 5:19PM

I have about six guys with uzis guarding my building. Is ryno hoo's life -- ryno hoo 02/21/2018 6:26PM

The best way to stop a bad student with a gun is with a good student with a -- 81_Hokie 02/21/2018 6:10PM

Some people just like an arms race I guess -- Beerman 02/21/2018 5:37PM

Who has suggested only arming teachers? Face it even we banned guns, it -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 5:59PM

There is tech out there the NRA opposes that would only allow a gun to be -- hokienole 02/21/2018 11:58PM

That doesn't change the fact that such efforts do absolutely nothing to -- Hokie5150 02/22/2018 06:25AM

I'd be on board -- Beerman 02/21/2018 6:05PM

**** -- TomKazanski 02/21/2018 5:26PM

They dont care about safety, just want a political issue ** -- TomKazanski 02/21/2018 5:27PM

I think it is ridiculous that it is even considered necessary... to me, -- HokieSignGuy 02/21/2018 5:26PM

Many schools already have off duty or specially assigned PD in them serving -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 5:54PM

Hey, I agree with everything here. Could have written it myself. -- HokieSignGuy 02/21/2018 6:25PM

It is definitely ridiculous that we have to have these conversations. But -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 6:35PM

Evil exists. We use armed security for banks, for sporting events, for -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 5:31PM

It's gone beyond that -- Wahoo Ron 02/21/2018 6:44PM

Two decades ago the homicide rate was more tha double what it is today. ** -- WahooRQ 02/21/2018 10:24PM

Homicide rate cut in half while gun transactions doubled...interesting. -- Hokie5150 02/22/2018 07:27AM

Not really that interesting. Ownership rates down significantly too -- the -- WahooRQ 02/22/2018 07:51AM

Concerts? ** -- Guy LeDouche 02/21/2018 5:46PM

I agree evil exists and evil acts occur as a human condition -- HokieSignGuy 02/21/2018 5:40PM

They don't need to be "everywhere"...just in the places we wish to protect -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 5:45PM

The idea of arming teachers is ridiculous -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 5:37PM

I would agree that simply telling random teachers that they can bring guns -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 6:03PM

No one is arguing for that. At most if the teacher is highly trained (CCP -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 6:00PM

You didn't listen to the listening session. ** -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:11PM

As the solution, or as a possible option of allowing trained teachers to -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 6:32PM

Remember how relatively hassle-free flying commercial airlines used -- Tuckahokie 02/21/2018 5:34PM

Excellent example! -- Beerman 02/21/2018 5:39PM

We don't necessarily need to arm the faculty (although, if they are trained -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 5:55PM

Despicable. You can tell very easily you don't have any kids of your own. -- WahooRQ 02/21/2018 10:26PM

You statement proves you are only interested in banning guns and improving -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 10:42PM

No, you're a transparently despicable gun nut who thinks the amswer is more -- WahooRQ 02/21/2018 10:51PM

Even IF they are, you have no magic bullet to make them go away. What do -- Hokie5150 02/22/2018 05:26AM

Great info that I haven't heard repeated too often. -- HokieSignGuy 02/22/2018 12:37AM

And the guard never encountered the shooter? Why might that be? Because -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 6:17PM
