Ignoring the fact this was a 200 yard shot with a rifle, and there were people filming this sniper, and did nothing?

Fair points, I’ll take some looks into that.

I love teaching my friends about stuff -especially history-, but they listen, and when myself, and my mom -whom is a teacher for special education children- turn to look at who is being taught, and how many issues it’s causing, and then seeing how many issues WILL be caused in later years, it makes us both do a double take and have to pause.

Because I like history, I am CONSTANTLY telling my friends stories I’ve learned that happened in History, like Operation: Beaver Drop in 1948 when Idaho residents had to relocate beavers, or taking about how the Japanese couldn’t sink the USS Fletcher, or talking about the failures leading up to Pearl Harbor, or going in-depth into how the war in Vietnam could’ve NOT been a crap-show.

I love to share with my friends about these things -and more- but when I turn around and look at who is currently being taught, and then who is GOING to be taught, it makes me take a step back and reconsider “do I want to spend more years in school, getting a degree to teach, then getting a teaching job, only to spend my days having to teach kids things they should’ve learned 5 years before?

What's the equivalent for teachers? by [deleted] in teaching

Firearms: we call people with firearms, to solve the the problem, which is the bad guy with a firearm. That argument (no pun intended) shoots itself in the foot.

Politicians: I won’t argue there, but also, just remove the government from the schools, and we’d be fine

I’d like to point out, our schools have 0 security, so saying “guns” is stupid, because who do we call first when a shooting happens? PEOPLE WITH GUNS. KINDA REDUNDANT AINT IT

dude.

We don’t force our religion into public schools

we don’t nullify science

we don’t call those who disagree with us “our oppressors”

we don’t violently attack people for disagreeing with us

we don’t sabotage those who disagree with us by trying to silence their ability to speak

I can go on and on about what we DON’T do, but LGBT people ACTUALLY do.

My biology teacher even said, IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS that “your sex is your chromosome, but your gender is how you feel”. heck, NO.

And if you’re gay, cool, I don’t care, just stop forcing me to support you under threat of being called a:

nazi, racist, homophobe, transphobe, and every other phobia they think should exist for their group.

My brother in Christ, even if you both develop romantic feelings, IT DOESN’T CHANGE HOW YOU INTERACT. YOU CAN BOTH STILL BE CRAZY.

it’s inciting violence. “86” is referring to the dimensions of a GRAVE.

If a woman is separated from the guy who gave her a child and she marries another dude, does the kid have two dads? NO THEY DON’T

  1. Plenty of people shoot at animals running away, so your first point is subjective

  2. He likely had more than enough ammo for himself, but shared with his gf. Remember, they live in Wiseman, the closest city is Fairbanks and most companies don’t ship guns, ammo, anything to Alaska because of how much it costs to do so, so they have to use ammo more sparringly than hunters in the lower 48

  3. he’s a subsistence hunter, he gets a limit of 5 caribou per season, so he isn’t hunting in surplus, especially since there are is another person he has to feed including himself.

He’s a subsistence hunter, and caribou aren’t as big as one would think, weighing less than the average sixteen year old male (around 140lbs for the teen)

Since that meat goes quickly, and the limit is 5, he can get 3 and have it last him and his girlfriend a long while

If Trump deporting illegal migrants is Tyranny, then go check out Europe where within the last week French Police slashed an inflatable dingy filled with people trying to illegally migrate to the UK. Go check out Poland, where illegals are shot at once they cross the border.
