Great episode

My dad had hunting rifles, bow and arrow and when he got a conceal and carry for a handgun he let us hold it, unloaded, we saw him unload it. He showed us the proper way and told us he wanted to take the mystery and curiousity of guns away. He also told us it would be locked in his workshop which we weren’t allowed to be in anyways. And he also said if he ever found out that any of us try to get to any of his weapons the punishment would be beyond what we have ever experienced at that point and beyond our imagination. I am glad that irresponsible parents are finally getting prosecuted. Because if the parents didn’t give the kids access to the guns, these shootings wouldn’t happen.

And bullying is crazy in schools lately. My daughter on her first day of kindergarten told us that she was afraid to use the bathroom in the classroom because boys were making fun of people for using it and making noise like peeing sounds. First.fucking.day. We told her those boys were ridiculous because everyone makes noise when they pee and it is better to use the bathroom than to potentially pee her pants-because we assume the bullying will triple if that ever happened.

That is crazy that the police were called on Betsy. People are insane.

Maybe y'all don't know but deer are leading cause of school shootings, in Merica. If I cannot hunt with grenades, Treasured Gatling Gun, and my Historically Correct WW 2 Sherman Tank, What am I going to hunt with?

It was Great to learn Katharine and Betsy were friends, and Katharine was ready to fight a kid. Betsy's Daughter ended up coming out in probably the best possible position. Evil kid has a criminal report on them, and has to stay away from them. K-5 was when I was bullied, and I went to fight every time. So i got in trouble, every time i reacted, I was in trouble. Later I learned my reaction was what they wanted. At the time I was in Cub Scouts, Played baseball, and when to school with the same kids. I learned we could be friends at Cub Scouts, but never friends at baseball or school. Always friends in one area of life, but never friends at the others. I'm still discovering the ways I developed to survive those years. During my 6th grade year, I figured out how not to be noticed...
