School shooting in Colorado

Hell, I would love a kid like that anywhere I met em.

This tragic story and his brave actions just makes him that much more of a kid I love.

I cant imagine feeling that tearing grief and pride of your own hero.
I pray I never do.

God bless and comfort these folks.

My kiddo asked me about it today. After she told me what she knew, I clarified a couple things and let her know one young man died. Told her what he did. She said she would pray for him and remember him as a great hero.

Sometimes, I feel like I am getting some stuff right.

Lets remember this guy.
I got an idea
I am in, tell me what you need.
 

I see him him as a Red Blooded American of Hispanic Descent , a Hero in the true sense of the word. I regret he had to die due to the scum that coexist in our society, these liberal ideologies always leads to despair in a normal society. I guess I could never work in law enforcement for I lack the restrain not to neutralize the shooters even after they gave up. Kendrick deserves full honors funeral ,he earned with his selfless heroic actions, anything less would be an insult.
 
It's either that or the opposite, social outcasts who have never had to deal with a bully but they know they are too weak to intimidate anyone with their words or fists while the media keeps telling them they are a protected class and "it gets better".
 
Why are the Fake News Folks are So Quiet About the Colorado Shooting?

Just days after the latest school shooting in Colorado it seemed quite odd that the lame stream media had gone quiet on what should have been their gun loving firebrand exposé. The New York Post and Heavy provide the details that reveal that the shooters have disappointed the media as they fail to conform to their template of being Testosterone charged, right-wing Trumpster who ideally is also a card-carrying NRA member. At least in this case their template couldn’t be more off base !

Initial police reports indicated that one suspect was a woman and the second a “juvenile female” – the original confusion was resolved as police revealed that the adult shooter, Devon Erickson is a radical left wing anti-Trump male who is transitioning to a female while the juvenile is, Maya Elizabeth McKinney a female who “identifies” as a male and uses the name “Alec” was a social media maven who daily posted vile screeds against fellow schoolmates, conservatives including the president and society in general. Both expressed the opinion that the LGBT community had failed them.

Students at the Highlands Ranch STEM School expressed the opinion that they believed the shooters, both students at the school, acted out of hate for themselves as much as for others.

Details on Devon Erickson: https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/devon-erickson-devin/

Details on Maya (Alec) McKinney: https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/alec-maya-mckinney/

Once again trained, armed school personnel could have mitigated the tragedy – one more fact the Fake News media just can’t bring themselves to report !

^^^ All the above stolen from another site... not mine. But an interesting analysis.

The most telling part is that since the shooters don't fit the mold of an angry white toxic masculine male out to kill poor innocent kids... it's not news. It's even more 'not news' when a great American kid stops a shooting in NC.

Suppress stories that don't fit the mold. Repeat and exaggerate stories that do fit the mold... and you have 1937 Germany and Stalinist Russia. It's how it's done.

Cheers,

It's obvious that you're against the civil rights of transgenders. If anyone carried out with such an outrageous claim such as yours, here in the United States...should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Transgenderism is a mental disorder . Every cas that choses gender reassignment surgery has to go thru counselingng. All as in everyone has been diagn9sed with Gender Dysphoria . Even by Libtard commie tard Therapists and Psychiatrist. Everyoneone . So it's a choice . A mentally defective one . Emo may I suggest that if you want to sit at the adult table and talk with the adults that you bring a fact or two . We as any adult would , understand your juvenile behavior and seventh grade gossip claims but give it a try . It'll feel good and boost your confidence . You can do it little man , we're pullin for ya . Go git em tiger .
 
My father remarried a woman with young twins. They both went to this school interestingly enough. The original Dad was extremely involved as was she and my dad as well. Biological Dad was a career Marine. All three a devout Christians. The kids were raised right. I dont question that for a second. The boy was always slightly socially awkward but he was quite smart and basically a science geek. Never anything odd about him. The sister was the polar opposite- athletic, outgoing, popular and also smart. She will be incredibly successful in life. Always seemed like a very normal and well put together family.

One day my Dad sends me a picture of him and teenage girl who looks familiar but I cant place it. It comes out that Travis is now Tara. Yup. Now a transgender girl (who is a lesbian as he/she still likes girls not boys). Man- there must be something in the water there. Im not joking about that. Like amphibians who are now all hermaphrodites from all the pollutants in the water. Maybe something that in the past was suppressed because society didnt accept it and they hid it like J Edgar Hoover. But now they are encouraged to come out about it and then cant handle the ridicule that comes with being such a social misfit. One one hand society now tell them its OK- then most of society shuns them once they embrace it. Of course they will end up suicidal (which these school shooters are to some degree).

Its sad all around. We all have plenty of thoughts which should never be acted upon that span the gambit from sexual, vilolence to anything else- gambling, self destruction- you name it. Thats part of the human condition. We now live in a society that encourages a lot of the bad ones that should ever be more than a fleeting thought to a healthy well adjusted person. Then we cant understand how bad shit like this happens.

Erno and the rest of the progressives are utterly disgusting. Honestly, putrid human beings virtue signaling to each other because they are so morally corrupted and completely lost. They literally HAVE to virtue signal and convince each other their twisted views are not pure fantasy. It entirely rests on collective, cognitive dissonance between their desires and reality. They literally can't allow someone who lives in reality to talk, or it utterly destroys their little self deception. Their attempted censorship (every time) is just a symptom. I don't know what the precedent is in the USA. To have such twisted values and morals, and consider them "good" and "virtuous", you have to go look at the worst of the worst political movements in history. I don't think even the pre-Civil War, Southern plantation owners were in the kind of complete denial of reality that these people are ("peculiar institution" and all).

These people are so ignorant and stupid I think they honestly don't understand that the Truks, the Nazis, the Bolsheviks, the Mongols, ect. were the heroes in their own minds and their enemies were the villains. They murder and destroy freely, because they define virtue as themselves, completely good, and their enemies as orks. It's either that, or they're so self centered they only care about how they personally feel and what happens in reality is irrelevant.

They are so ignorant that they don't understand that every time man rejects the received virtue and morality of the divine, and substitutes virtues and morality of their own design, and suited to their own desires and wants, it ends the same way...EVERY TIME. One could be forgiven, when looking at this pattern throughout history, for thinking that some people are blessed and some are cursed.

It's just pushing rope though. Erno is not a sinner, and he can have his virtue signaling reflected back on him most of the places he goes. He's "good" and has all the answers. It's only in a place like this, where he mingles with the "evil" where his virtue signaling doesn't give him what he needs.

That men like us have created a culture where men like them don't have to constantly fight for survival is the reason they've become so decadent and evil. This will correct itself by their own hand.

Wow!, they aren’t all indoctrinated robots yet.... There is hope.
 
Honestly, I just dont know what to think anymore. Though I agree, its a aberration of some sort, emotional, psychological, or genetic, its not my place to 'condemn' anyone. Judge whats right (or wrong) for myself, yes, but condemn, no, thats the Almighty's job. Ive decided to just pay attention to myself, quietly and as peacefully as possible stand for what I see as righteous, and keep my feet on the straight and narrow. In the end that is all you can really do, live clean.
 
Huh. My son was going to go to this school.

He instead opted for home school and joined the Marines at 17. I moved to CO springs before he left.

I got a call from my Daughter today. She is flying back here because her half brother was one of the kids who was shot.

I firmly believe this is all mental illness, and we need a better way to handle it that is gentle but effective.

I also think that a low level of carefully controlled and monitored violent behavior needs to come back to our schools.

Little Jimmy there shot up the school because he couldn’t punch someone who desperately needed it in the face, and instead had to stow it until it blew up on everyone. It’s also literally hosing our society down with weak individuals and totally empowered bullies who have never gotten an ass beating.

I don't believe you can stop bulling in schools its a genetic part of our make up. Mother nature in the jungle stronger animals feed off the weaker animals. It always puzzled me why the biggest kid would pick on the weakest kid which made him feel tough. They never seek out a equal or larger kid then themselves to fight. Schools are changing away their new policies are you can do anything to a disruptive student, if they act out anything they will just ignore it. Liberal policies aren't good for anyone and always leads to someone else getting killed not the policy maker. The female student who identifies as a male, that's a progressive liberal policy which lead to students being shot. In the real world which doesn't exist anymore, she is a lesbian who wants to be male then she is a bull dyke.
 
Bullying has been around for generations...the difference is how we dealt with it. When young men could "meet after school" to work out their problems, it was cathartic. Even if you lost a fight, it was rare for the winner not to get hurt as well. This taught both parties important lessons. This assumes that the bully and victim actually turned out that way.
  1. The loser may have been bloodied but he survived and made his point that he stood up to his problem. Standing up to your problems is critically important for young men. Otherwise, you adopt a coward approach which will haunt you for the rest of your life.
  2. The winner learns that despite his advantage, there is no free lunch. You may have counted on intimidation to get you somewhere but it didn't. That will provide food for thought in the future.
If the perceived winner (the bully) loses...
  1. The weaker guy really feels vindicated and fully understands that FEAR is nothing but False Energy Appearing Real. Running away never is the cause
  2. The bully is shamed....fully. Many won't repeat this behavior.
In either case, lessons learned are important.

The absence of this today is resulting in the aberrant behavior we see, especially in concert with the medication being dispensed

Because, the bullies are generally pussies.

I remember in 6th grade, one of the bullies, well call him Willie, a city boy, fucked with the wrong kid, we'll call him Joe, who grew up on a farm with lots of brothers to fight with. All of a sudden Joe, was sitting on Wilie's chest with his arms pinned under his legs, slapping his face. Joe ended up as a Green Beret in Viet Nam.

Because they dont want competition.

My heart really goes out to the Castillo Family. They are proud as they should be. They raised a fine young man only to loose him to demented Trannies.
Kendrick was not the only student that had what it took to shut this shit off. He had help from other students there as well. One in a delayed entry thing to the Marine Corp. and I don't think it was only those 2. Those student stood up and took charge.
There was also an armed private security guard there that was haulin balls to the scene, a Marine vet and LEO vet working there. He was not running away, he was running to the scene.
He was on the local News last night for a brief blip praising the Students that shut this thing down. I am sure he helped out too but gave all of the credit to the students.

When Michael Bennet and some other newly elected Libtard politician showed up at the Student's candlelight vigil last night and started off on Gun Control the Students started shouting "Mental Health" and other things a Foul person would be proud of and left the area.
The Students returned and carried on with their ceremony after the politicians left the AO.

Most of this is not covered by the MSM and you had to be watching the local independant News to pick up on it.

I may or may not attend Kendrick's funeral, I will respect his family's wishes, but I damn sure have sent them some loot through a fund set up with Wells Fargo Bank. FM
 
Leftist hate and socialist intolerance is what happened in that school. AND instead of hours of horrors a decent kid stepped up and stopped a tragedy from happening. What you see is a couple of socialist weirdos raised by weirdo parents and confused as to why they are girls with dicks or boys with vaginas ans they were trying to force their bizarre bullshit lifestyles onto and entire community. When it failed, they did what all violent leftist thugs do when reality smacks them. They lashed out and decided to kill innocent people whom they blame for their failures.

Leftist hate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,socialist intolerance and the fact that the left firmly believes that you do not have the right to live if you disagree with them.
 
Amen cornhusker, here is the hero, he should be honored. Doubtful the media will lift him up, but Trump ought to! The perpetrators of this murderous act should cause serious concern for those pushing the leftist agenda, their hate spewing vitriol is causing much of the violence they condemn. Proud of those kids who walked out when the left took control of the vigil and turned it into their own agenda - the rep from "Mothers Demand Action" actually called for students to "As noted by Saavedra, she demonized pro-Second Amendment politicians, asked the students to elect Democrats into office and requested that they raise money for gun control advocates." If anything was a clear political maneuver this should have been, she should be condemned in all the media... but she won't.

It's gotta be video games. Because violent movies/cartoons don't trigger anyone. Certainly not shitty parents. Can't be the Left mentally fuckin' with weak POS heads. Nope... world would whip right around if we just got rid of them pesky video games. Shit! I played video games growing up, guess I'm due to shoot up a school here pretty soon. Oh wait, my Mom and Grandparents made sure I knew right from wrong and didn't baby me or give me everything I ever wanted.

With all the books ever written, it's amazing we have any problems today. All this time, it's been video games! Who knew?
People do not react to stimuli in the same manner. Just because it didn't affect you, does not mean it won't affect someone else.
 
I haven't seen anything indicating that these two were video gamers.

They were two extremely troubled individuals full of rage at being unaccepted. They had parents who were asleep at the switch. They were probably taking God knows what (both prescription and non-prescription).

You can blame it on anything you want but it don't change the facts presented to date

We should pass "common sense" registration & licensing as well as restrictions on these dangerous "transgenders" you know.... if it will only save the life of one child......

You beat me, I was just thinking after watching the Politicians at the vigil jump to gun control, what we had was a terrorist attack at one of our schools by the LGBT. This is a group and should be put on the terrorist watch list, this attack was based on their sexual desires and deviant ways. This wasn't a lone wolf attack it was coordinated by LGBT and their ideology.

My point was you can't pin this shit on one certain thing. It's a mixture of things just like with everything else. Saying it's video games is like anti-gunners saying we don't need guns cuz .gov will protect us.

MODELS OF CIVIC VIRTUE

Sometimes models of human excellence, examples of what is humanly possible for the rest of us to see and for which we can strive, come from unlikely places. One such place, right now, is the STEM School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

STEM students are demonstrating the virtues necessary for being good human beings and free citizens. And there is much to be learned by their choices, their actions, and their demeanor.

When confronted by armed fellow students with murderous intentions, Kendrick Castillo, Brendan Bialy, Joshua Jones, and a fourth unidentified student, did not wait for any “authorities” or “experts” or law enforcements officers or licensed security professionals to tell them what to do.

They took their own security and the security of their friends into their own hands. Kendrick Castillo charged one of the shooters, without hesitation, smashing him against the wall, while Bialy and Jones quickly took the gun out of the assailant’s hands.

Young Mr. Castillo, only days from his high school senior graduation, died from a fatal shot he received during the rush. No amount of praise or prayer can beguile the parents, family, and friends of Kenrick Castillo from the pain of their loss. Let them cherish with pride and tender love the memory of this brave, brave young man.

And, still, this sad, true, real story might be precisely the kind of thing Americans today need to hear. No one can ever know how much more death and devastation was prevented by the feisty, rebellious, decisive actions of Castillo, Bialy, Jones, and the fourth unidentified student.

This much is clear: They refused to obey the commands and comply with the threats of tyrannical souls. And they refused to sit idly, defenselessly, and wait for someone else to protect them without trying first to protect themselves.

The next night, STEM School students gathered for a vigil to mourn the loss of their friend, Kendrick Castillo, and to honor the courage shown by Bialy, Jones, and others who acted swiftly the fateful day before. Then something happened. Politicians swept in and used the event as a stage to promote yet more government control over the private property of citizens.

Those students, in the midst of mourning, pushed back. They walked out. They refused to be used as pawns by political powermongers who look for any opportunity to expand the reach of government control over our lives.

My, my, my. How wonderfully spirited those STEM Students are! THAT is the kind of soul from which freedom flows.

Thank you, dear STEM Students, for showing everyone with eyes to see what it means to be self-assertive, self-restrained, self-governing, and to have the love of living freely running through one’s veins. Thank you, Brendan Bialy and Joshua Jones, for your courage and cool reasoning under fire. And thank you, Mr. Kendrick Castillo, for your great heroic sacrifice. I shall not forget.
 
School officials sued the parent that filed the initial report.......

The school “leaders” should be fired at the least.

More concerned about protecting their precious little careers and public perception than taking care of the children they are entrusted with.

Douglas county schools are historically more conservative than other Denver metro districts.
I would expect a lot of dysphoria in an arts school, but a STEM school seems strange. Perhaps my perceptions are just way off.
 
I hate to quote from CNN, but found this interesting tidbit about the security office on site at the STEM School -

A private guard was one of the first to confront a shooter
The school doesn't have a school resource officer, but it did have a private security guard, Spurlock said.
Columbine and the STEM school have a rare connection: Both had 2 shooters
Columbine and the STEM school have a rare connection: Both had 2 shooters

And that guard was among the first to confront one of the suspects, said Grant Whitus, chief operating officer of BOSS High Level Protection.
Whitus -- the first SWAT officer to enter Columbine 20 years ago -- declined to identify the guard but said he was "instrumental" in stopping the attack.
He said the guard drew his gun, took the suspect into custody and turned the suspect over to sheriff's deputies.
Had the guard not been on site, "countless lives would have been lost," Whitus said.
But the guard still feels bad that he couldn't stop the entire attack.
"He's a very good guy," Whitus said. "He's wishing he could have done more."

Why is the media not promoting this armed security officer and his actions more? I have a theory, the media and the left don't want to admit this is a viable solution, their only narrative is gun control, get rid of second amendment rights and disarm the people - but there are alternatives that protect our kids and second amendment rights. Instead of knee jerk reactions by politicians and others to immediately point blame at certain constitutional rights, we should be looking at viable alternatives.

So a little more info I have here.

Kendrick Castillo was the only child parents who are blue collar folks. He attended Notre Dame Catholic school until 8th grade.
He was a scholarship recipient for at least one year he attended Notre Dame, common in private schools.
This scholarship was in the name of Aunt Susie who taught there as a nun for many many years. That was what she requested as a retirement gift was to give a student who might not be able to usually, the ability to attend school. She remembers the call that young Kendrick (she thinks 7th grade) made to her, thanking her for her years there teaching and her selfless gift and how much it meant to him and his parents.

We are less without a young man such as this. We need 10 million just like him, with his maturity, strength, and heart.
He was headed to school to study electrical engineering, starting at a local school for pre-reqs to be smart with tuition funds.

His parents are struggling a lot as we can all imagine.
Please remember John and Maria in your prayers.
 
Being in CO and all the BS news loops you never really know what is happening. I must say that he media has done a hell of a lot better publicizing the true “HEROS” of this deal. The 3 boys that took on the shooters are getting their name and picture everywhere. Talking a lot about the 1 boy that did die.
Personally I feel that is because none of this one fits their narrative. The 2 suspects broke into the one kids dads safe then tried to torch the house to cover their tracks. Media can’t say anything about the female suspect because she doesn’t “identify “ as a female. Thought I heard the male was gay. They used pistols to do the shooting, not a scary “black assault rifle”.
Then the media tries to push in on the candlelight vigil with the BS gun control push and the students walked out and called bullshit.

Pres. Trump has replied, Bless his Heart, maybe something can come from that..

I really didn't expect any of them to reply as I was very low keyed, used some weird words, as Veer has taught me, but let them ALL know that they were Chicken Shit Assholes and will always be Chicken Shit Assholes til the day they die.

@Foul Mike
I know we share sentiments (as do most of our CO Hide members) on Polis.

He made May 15 Kendrick Castillo Day in Colorado. So we can remember and celebrate his heroic actions every year.

I will hope he did it from a small sliver of kindness he may have in his blackened and demon possessed heart (how I figure all commie hearts are). Probably for publicity and to ride the wave of someone else's heroism and I can hope
Today in church the preacher was talking about what people do for others no matter what and how thats important. All I could think about was Kendrick and see his big smile.

Then I thought about his folks.
Just keep praying for them. Its got to be hell.
