Kids I care about have gone to these things. Grown adults are showing up to harass - “roll coal” in the kids faces, throw things from cars.

Mustang public schools suspended all children who walked out, with support of the governor of Oklahoma.

People almost seemed to get a hard on at the idea of hurting these children in Facebook comments.

      Dear Parents,

      In order to keep your children from getting injured, we injured them with chemical weapons. One of them was injured so badly that they had to seek medical treatment for the injuries we caused.

      You are welcome.

      Sincerely,

      A bunch of violent psychopaths who are looking for any reason to hurt people.

        I know you’re joking, but I just wanted to point out one of my pet peeves and why your statement would never be released. In all these cases of police harming civilians, the writer (whether it be journalists or the school in this case) always switch to a passive voice.

        They never say “we injured them” or even “police deployed chemical weapons.” It’s always the passive voice “pepper spray was deployed.” As if the pepper spray just up and decided to deploy itself, that crazy silly stuff!
