Proof that people like garbage

Music is highly subjective... it's right in line with "what's your favorite color". But to say a specific color is garbage because you don't like it... is, well... garbage.
I prefer music without vocals, but I won't call everything else garbage.

Lawful gun ownership by responsible owners would deter a lot of gang/generic gun violence.

@jaredbusch The amount of scrap value there would actually make the city of Chicago worth moving to, if only for the scrap metal. . .

New school policy now in effect: teachers in Chicago take guns from students like phones and give them back at the end of class.

@obsolesce as if terrorism or a school shooting is out of the norm . . I'd expect the Security at public schools to hand out more guns than anything. . .

... but because of the school's insurance policy, the teachers aren't allowed to use the students' guns to stop an active shooter...

Chicago teachers watch the late night news to see who won't be in class the next day.

@obsolesce exactly and that's a lot of the reality of the situation. Schools should be a "safe place" but around the school can't be controlled in the same ways.
I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the violence is due to issues that arise in school and are "handled on the street".

If only everyone on the street had guns... problem solved.

Isn't harassment already a crime?
Yes, but maybe there are too many loopholes unless that is specifically stated in the law.
