I think we need to ban knives.

Wonder if it will get swept under the carpet since its not a gun used so the media can't use it to brainwash people into showing how bad guns are.

If a gun had been used, the left would politicize the incident in a heartbeat.

But it is a knife - so they don't care.

I think they need to arm the teachers with knives!

Is it gang-related?

12 people getting stabbed is ridiculous considering the time it would take for someone to stab 12 individuals. You would think 9 or 10 of them would have fled.

We need to limit people to carrying no more than 10 knives at a time so that they can't quickly do so much damage.

Prayers and wishes won't heal a stab wound.

It probably won't be such big news as no one was killed.

I wonder if some will say that if all students/staff carried knives, this wouldn't have happened.

Good wishes are the liberals version of fairy dust.

They throw it out there, and they can "feel good" and claim that they are compassionate, but they have no actual practical value.

Kind of like liberalism itself - all symbolism and zero substance.

Prayer on the other hand is useful - but usually if you suggest that you are dismissed as a right wing nutcase.
