Bearing Arms
This past weekend was a special anniversary. It marked the anniversary of the first school massacre in American history.
There were no touching op-eds calling for gun control to remember those slain. There were no vigils with burning candles, weeping people, and speeches about making sure such an atrocity never happened again.
None of that.
But July 26th was the anniversary of the Enoch Brown massacre.
What? You don’t remember the Enoch Brown massacre? That’s fine. You probably wouldn’t. It never made it on TV. CNN didn’t dedicate wall-to-wall coverage of it. The Washington Post didn’t profile the killers. It didn’t make any of the coverage you would have seen. A teacher and 10 students were slaughtered, and the cable news machine said nothing.
In the media’s defense, though, that’s because it happened in 1764. More
“The deadliest school massacre in US history, in terms of fatalities, was the Bath School massacre, which occurred on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan
. The attack, carried out by Andrew Kehoe, involved explosives and resulted in the deaths of 44 people, including 38 children.”
What!!! No gun? Maybe it’s not the guns fault.
Wasn’t there a mass shooting of an Amish school?
Every teacher and administrator in the school should be required to carry. Even the bus drivers.
Until all the nut cases are for sure identified at the time they hit anyone’s radar, the only way to stop this is to be ready to face them. There are too many instances where the perp was a known whack-o who was trouble for a long time.
Hmm, my g-grandmother was Lanpe’ Delaware and I never heard this story before.
Anonymous is correct in his question of the Amish School event.
“ Every teacher and administrator in the school should be required to carry. Even the bus drivers.”
Gotta disagree with you there. I’m a firm believer that some people shouldn’t be allowed near a gun. Mainly liberal educators.
“I’m not going to ascribe evil intent to these killers”
Grow a pair. Of course there was evil intent, just like that moron councilwoman in Cincy who applauded the mob violence by blacks againt white people.
