  1. That’s not fair. I thought about the dead CEO quite a bit.

  2. It’s so weird that people still pray to a God that is perfectly happy with children being murdered at school

  4. CEO’s get a hotline with direct access to the police dept. school children get scared little bitches that stand around and don’t do shit for over an hour

  5. If Romeo+Juliet (1996 film) can use a gun called “Sword”, why doesn’t somebody make a gun called “Thoughts and Prayers”?

  7. I guess CEOs need to keep getting shot so it becomes background noise like school shootings.

  8. If there exists a sum of money that is sufficient compensation to guarantee getting shot and killed guarding someone, CEOs will be too cheap to pay it.

  9. A CEO can yield an increase in profits for the next quarter – a school child isn’t economically productive for decades.

  10. If these kids can only make political donations in the millions then maybe some of the politicians will think of them, until then, lots of thoughts and prayers.

  11. They love their guns more than they love their children in that ridiculous country.

  13. [Trump tells supporters ‘we have to get over it’ after Iowa school shooting](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-tells-supporters-get-iowa-school-shooting-move-forward-rcna132610)

    > ‘A backlash is building over a picture posted by Melania Trump on Twitter that showed her and Donald Trump smiling broadly while holding a baby who was orphaned in the mass shooting in El Paso.’

  15. Kids have no value in the US, see how they now want to take away childhood vaccines. It speaks volumes.

  16. What radicalized you? Idk watching kids get shot while CEOs wear their children like bullet proof scarves?

  17. CEOs get private security with the money they deny their sick policy holders.

  19. I’m calling now, one of those CEO guards is going to accidentally kill someone just minding their business and claim they were coming for the CEO.

  21. In America, womb control is more important than gun control. You gotta birth those kids so we can shoot em!

  22. You all know how the current police operate. America is finally going to get police reform, just not the type it has been looking for. Further militarization. 

  23. They tried protecting schools, officers kept getting in trouble trying to bed students and running away when they were actually needed. Let’s hope private security isn’t stupid enough to dive in front of bullets for these rich bastards

  24. In capitalist America, your life is only worth your bank account balance

  25. What the article didn’t mention was increased security for CEOs is coming from New York state. Taxpayers dollars!

  26. Get used to it peasants. In Trump’s America the rich win. Everyone else can f right off.

  27. Why are we surprised? Everyone thought when the rich became the victims they would change their tune but I believed all that would change is where the protection goes. Seems we proved me right and I hate that it’s so.

  29. With no Birth Control, they NEED another way to control the population. and besides, some people need live target practice.

  30. Americans will protest about trans bathrooms that have zero effect on most peoples lives but they won’t do anything about their children dying. Insane

  31. Bruh even the Waffle House near me has armed security 😂

  32. I know man maybe the CEOs should be doing lockdown drills not fourth graders.   

  33. The amount of resources and coverage poured into this one murder vs all of the shootings that regularly happen opened some eyes, I think.

  34. Convicted fraudsters who are also adjudicated rapists and have gotten their fans killed get the best protection the US can afford on top of millions of dollars in donations.

    Schools kids can barely even get free lunch at school.

  35. We should start the purge…but just for 1%‘ers…and only until they crawl back out of politics and back onto their piles of gold in whatever mountain they’ve claimed. They bring back child labor—purge. Say water protections are not needed—purge. Automate insurance denials—purge. They’ll either wise up or disappear. Win win

  36. Not entirely true, Flordia just spent 67 million to put more guns in schools.

    im sure that wont cause any problems at all /s
