New Tik Tok challenge: SLAP A TEACHER!

That said, even if the numbers are exaggerated, which I won’t argue, it doesn’t negate the overall point.

In my opinion it doesn't negate the issue but does make me wonder what they think they are accomplishing by exaggerating? How honest and truthful are any of their other statements? It doesn't help their argument in a positive way.

Why do they have so little faith in their argument that they feel a need to exaggerate and include so many shootings that don't fit the definition I believe most people have for a school shooting?

A shooting that occurs in or on a school/college campus while students are present, directed at or committed by a student or faculty member.

Why include gang violence, fights, and domestic disturbances that happen to occur on a school or college campus no matter the time of day or if no students are present at the time?

Why include accidental discharges at all?

Edited to add:

I believe it does include the examples posted by DisneyJamieCA

Some examples that I found included -- someone shot out the windows of an abandoned building that had previously housed a school = school shooting. -- A middle-of-the-night drug deal taking place in a school parking lot went bad and shots were fired = school shooting -- A school resource offer accidentally discharged his weapon into the floor = school shooting.)

Each of those examples meets the criteria you listed to be counted as a school shooting.

No it doesn’t because criteria 1 on their list is that somebody besides the shooter has to be shot. So shooting at an abandoned building or a security guard accidentally discharging and shooting the ground don’t meet the qualifications.

ETA: shots fired isn’t enough to qualify it on this particular report.

So I guess the school district in the county above me got hit with the tik tok challenge last month and they had expensive damages to their bathrooms.

That same school district sent out an alert about this month's challenge and advised "participation in this month's challenge could lead to assault charges, possibly sexual assault charges depending on the situation. We have also let parents know the students will be disciplined according to the school code of conduct, which will be a level-three or four offense, and could result in a school expulsion recommendation to an alternative school and involvement of our schools, law enforcement."

Hopefully students do not let it go far and hopefully if something does happen the school district follows through with their warning (as not doing so won't help for the future).

Their juveniles. The worse case is that they end up at juvie.

Basically, if you're a kid, you can pretty much get away with anything and then have your record sealed once you're an adult. Gotta love our system.

Weird comment but okay

What an awful topic to deliberately bump.
