A year after she was shot by her 6-year-old student in a Virginia classroom, former teacher Abby Zwerner said she still worries about the other children who saw it happen, and wonders how they’re faring.
Wounded by a bullet that struck her hand and chest and punctured a lung, Zwerner rushed the other first-graders into the hallway before she collapsed in the elementary school’s office.
“I hope that they are enjoying school, enjoying their second-grade year,” Zwerner, 26, told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper. “I hope that they’re still kind to their classmates, kind to teachers. I hope that they still have happiness, and that their happiness wasn’t completely stripped away.”
Is that why elementary school shootings are incredibly rare outside the US where random people don’t run around with guns all the time?
The person that coined this phrase is stepping down from the NRA. I think it’s time we retired this garbage, just like the person that created it.
Poe’s Law was on life support in 2015 with the ramp up to Trump’s election. It died shortly after his election.
When you’ve got the people of Uvalde that went through their, very public, tragedy and then went and voted for the people that were openly advertising that they were trying to block gun and social reform to address the problems that led to the death of their children, you really do have to add the the /s (or other qualifier) these days.
