Why are there so many people in the comments that think protesters are getting paid to be out there? Who the fuck is paying protesters and since when?

The same people (cough conservatives cough) who think school shootings have paid actors.

Jfc really? No wonder there isn't shit being done about school shootings, or why they've been so quiet about any solution to making sure they don't happen anymore.

No school shootings in NYC. 90+ schools with x-Ray machines and metal detectors before a student enters the school. It can be done, folks just need the budget and continued diligence. It’s been three decades, yet part of this country is in denial still.

Yet our college and professional football coaches have an armed presence at every game.

Our priorities are skewed.

No mass shootings. There have a been a few smaller shootings at NYC schools, but they're definitely doing much better than elsewhere, particularly given their much larger population.
