Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Since no one was injured or killed this incident will be swept under the rug by CPS.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
However, it will live on in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the form of several specious lawsuits against CPS brought by the parents or guardians of the kids on the bus, to include the shooter, claiming lax CPS procedures have caused psychic harm to their respective kids.
All of them will be settled for what CPS will deem “nuisance value” amounts and the whole rotten system will lumber on at taxpayer expense.
Any bets that the aide is another unvetted person with a tie to Brandon and a possible criminal record? As we’ve seen with more than one “ violence interruptor” , it’s not who you are as a person, it’s who you know. I saw the dudes photo on the news and, “ book by its cover “ philosophy aside, he appears to be one rough customer.
Anyone in Chicago without a firearm (legally) is a sitting duck.
Pretty sad school bus aides need to carry a gun to feel safe. Even worse is some kid on the bus knew how to use it. The definition of disability here is likely a loose one.
What is an armed “bus*aide” doing on a CPS bus? How many are there and what do they get paid?
You could have had another 10 million dollar lawsuit you would have been stuck for. Great reading and good luck.
Great question the person obviously does not know the laws about carrying a weapon on school property. But probably isn’t a licensed ccl holder either or fell asleep in that part of the class. Remember the magic bullet at the White Sox game that struck a CTU member and no one knew where it came from. That was pretty shady too
