Two faculty shot at East High in Denver

[TFOGGER]

Did the adults that were shot die? I thought they were still alive but "the extent of their injuries isn't known".

1 Treated and released the same day, 1 still in the hospital, but expected to recover.

Wonder how much the deans were a part of the "plan" to keep the thug in school and if they will be rethinking those plans in the future?

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

Family members of the victims ought to sue the idiots who made these decisions for endangerment, emotional trauma over the loss of their loved ones, etc.

Government at most levels has immunity protections from the laws they pass.

This may carry over to civil lawsuits as well.

I?d like to know what sentencing options the judge had in ?21. Juvie court I assume so records probably not available. As pointed out previously I heartily agree he shouldn?t have been in a school at all.

I imagine neither the judge nor the deans had much say in the issue and both the judge and deans realized that keeping Lyle in school was a risk to other students and faculty. Because this case involves a minor it is likely the back story won't come out for a long time. But, if Lyle was identified as being emotionally disturbed he would qualify for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and be protected from disciplinary actions as applied to students not considered "special education." This goes at least as far back as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (1965) which has been re-authorized more recently as Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (1975) and No Child Left Behind (2001). It was the authorization in 1975 that established the provision of a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and a court case, Honig v. Doe (1998) that set the precedent of allowing students such as Lyle to remain in school. I'm not an expert but I have had some experience in this area and this is just off the top of my head. There are other acts of congress as well as court cases. These just seem the most pertinent. I might be wrong.

I try not to think about this too much as there is ample research that shows a stable family with a positive male role model (father) is the biggest indicator of a child's success but rather than go to the root of the issue, politicians would rather blame guns or try to tweak the schools and avoid the problem. Education is big business and consulting with a district to help improve performance is highly lucrative. Unfortunately, I think most of these consultants live by the saying, "If you can't fix the problem, there is great money in prolonging it."

East High School isn't near Galapago St.

I'm curious about how he got kicked out of the Cherry Creek school. Clearly the kid had a bad streak and it was a good call, but did it happen simply because of a social media post where he was holding a pistol? Was there an accompanying threat?

I'm just imagining a good kid going to the range with his dad and he gets a chance to shoot something cool like a class 3. That kid is going to want video and he's going to want to show his friends the cool thing he did on social media. Would that by itself be grounds for expulsion in this day and age?

You are correct, that's West HS, same ghetto environment, same types of people, same needs.

That's when the decisions they make are made in good faith. It doesn't necessarily translate to situations where the outcome was predictable. To be fair, I read too fast -- both personnel lived but they will carry with them trauma from an entirely predictable situation. Besdies, the Left never bothers with the letter or spirit of the law, they sue anyway to make a point. It's about time we hoist them on their own petards.
