🧵 Time… A LONG ONE. This country is going to hell in a hand basket if people think it’s actually about guns. After a thirty minute discussion on how it’s not, with hubby, he (and I) are fed up…. #threadtime 🧵

Emotions are ramped right now, as they should be, the gun didn’t do this. It never does. People do. We need to start with PEOPLE. For instance… What the hell has happened to parental accountability?!??…

Columbine during the “nationwide assault ban,” should’ve started the narrative on: get these phones, TV’s & video games out of our young peoples' hands. Sure, my kids had them, I go back to, I have ADULT children now: 22|20….

Do NOT get me started about social media & the mental games it plays on CHILDREN. I downloaded all the apps my kids were on, even a Chinese app, that is harvesting information from US citizens, begrudgingly to: MONITOR ADULT CHILDREN….I watched the same shows…

Listened to the same music, played video games, MONITORED their rooms, they knew this was part of our parental rules & guidance.

Second. Money. People are calling out the NRA & lining the pockets of politicians. Fine. Open that Pandoras Box, PRETTY PLEASE!!! I BEG YOU. My daughter was deemed a racist for defending the police during the summer of love “tour” of 2020…

We gave her the resources to develop her own opinion. Her first website had her asking questions… “Why did it take me to a campaign funding site for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, mom?” That website: BLM. Let’s open that box, my tax payer dollars are paying for you….

elected officials at every level to do a job…

We all need to be calling all of these pocket lining companies & politicians out in full circuit. I wanna know why & how you’re becoming RICH. PRETTY PLEASE.

Then let’s talk about security at schools. Did you know, everyone knew me at every school the kids ever attended. Ever. With a name like Sherika, you immediately become known with kids with rare names as well… Unless it was after school hours not ONE guard (not SRO specific…..

security guard at all entry points) would let me in. “Sherika, you know you can’t come in the athletic entrance. You have to go check in at the office first.” Even when one of my kids was injured or at the athletic office. Nope….

They had to scan my ID every time. It’s tactful, essential & needs to happen in EVERY school. Add in the SRO factor, at least one at every school, public & private; a walkie talkie can do wonders for a security guard NEEDS to be at entry point, who has a taser that can at least..

ATTEMPT to relay the information having been in position to do so. Last but certainly not least…. PURE accountability…. No student should be allowed back into a general pop, whether public or private school district that has ANY weapon charges. Period…

Enough of the excuses & blame game. I’m done. We are done. Everyone should be done. Specifically surrounding schools, & gun laws, it ain’t it. There’s resolution that needs to be built through reality. Not just talking heads doing nothing.

Hello, we have a government corrupt enough to hide Epstein island assholes, who raped children. If you don’t think that’s not corrupt, think about a government corrupt enough to sacrifice your children, then disarm the population for their own empowerment. End 🧵
