(2,855 posts)Putting the picture of this 16 year old who was appearing locally after a moron teacher made a threatening comment!
They endangered her!
She's not the story's lead!
How 'bout a picture of the RAT who made the sniper comment? Why isn't it his picture accompanying the story?
That page editor should be looking for a new line of work!

Trump always said he wants more immigrants from white Scandinavian countries, maybe he doesn't know how many of them are liberal like Greta Thunberg.

I will never get used to this insanity, thank god.
