Interesting logic.
One thing is for sure, someone on trial for shooting a student is not the best person to stop someone trying to shoot students.

Whoever made the comment was incredibly dumb and insensitive for making it. However, based on what I have been hearing, it certainly is not a farfetched scenario.

No

You want people on trial for murder to be able to go to schools armed??? I think arming teachers is crazy, but this is just absurd.

Ironically, a dead brown dude. Because how weird would a Caucasian guy be in the middle of a desert populated by the same people who lived there 3000 years ago? Unless he was really Roman in the first place... which would just be a whole new level of weird.

Jews from that area in that era would have brown skin and look very similar to today's Arabs.
