A federal judge ruled this week that neither the police nor the school system had any duty to protect students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High during the shooting that claimed 17 lives last year.
U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom dismissed a lawsuit filed by several students of the school. She claims that the duty to protect only applies to prisoners and others who are being held in state custody involuntarily. Kids, apparently, are on their own. The motion filed by the judge, according to the Miami Herald, explains, incredibly, that children in school have "the ability to take care of themselves." Bloom also argued that the shooter was not a "state actor." Which is an entirely irrelevant point that nobody disputes.

If the "the ability to take care of themselves" then they should be able to carry their own weapons.
ReplyDeleteThat judge needs to be tared and feathered.
Yep.
DeleteThat judge needs to be hung from a lamp post.
DeleteOr from one of my Pecan trees.
DeleteYou are being held in state custody involuntarily. Just try NOT going to school and see what happens to the child AND parents. School is mandatory.
ReplyDeleteNC is easy on Homeschool.
DeleteThen why are schools no gun zones ? can't bring a knife to protect oneself either.Does that mean that gunfree school zones are unconstitutional by judiciary ?

DeleteSounds right to me.
Definitely right! Just as with gun laws pertaining to the People, the Federal Government has NO delegated powers for education and therefore shall do NOTHING. (10 th Amendment) --Ron W
DeleteGun Free Zone equals a Free Fire Zone. The liberal goal is as many dead students as possible. Without enough dead kids, how can we ram through gun bans.

DeleteGood point.
Correct! The leftist elites in politics and among their wealthy supporters are well protected with armed security, yet they actually enforce defenselessness on schools as gun free zones. They want to take from others what they have and keep for themselves. We are dealing with incredible evil! --Ron W

DeleteCommie here, commie there, commies all around the square....
Whatever happened to "Serve and Protect"? If not to do so just says that they are just income agents for the regime.
ReplyDeleteincome agents for the regime.
DeleteRight on!
The judge issuing his ruling is doing what judges do....follow fol precedent. Unless there is a specific law stating otherwise prior
ReplyDeleteJudicial rulings take precedent and there are numerous prior cases where courts, including the SCOTUS, have ruled that absent a "special relationship" (as in person in custody under the officers direct control) their is no requirement for LEO to protect citizens. The judge is doing what all judges do....ignoring reality in preference to politics. The judge is merely a symptom of the problem....that being we have a LEGAL system, not a JUSTICE system. The entire system is corrupt and worthless and in bed lfneed of complete dismantlement. And it doesn't change the fact that former Deputy Peterson I a morally bankrupt coward who needs to suck start his Glock.

DeleteDon't know how he faces people every day.
True, if cops aren't legally obligated to come to your aid then what the hell makes anyone think they'll do so for your kids? Rushing to a scene like that, they're probably more focused on putting another knotch on the 'ol gun belt than anything else. But hey, as long as leo goes home safe and sound after a long hard tour of daily duty...
DeleteTravesty.
