Good on her.

Schools these days look the other way when students are bullied.

I understand her frustration, but grabbing a rifle and going to the bus stop????

How savage is America that it takes a gun to get kids to behave?

She may be the reason her kid is bullied! "Your mother is crazy!" "Oh look, here comes Annie Oakley or is it Calamity Jane?" "Hey Bonnie ...where's Clyde?"
