u. s. schools resumed and moved away from the remote morning that was in place during the pandemic when schools were largely shut down. let's review some of the more recent incidents in u. s. history. the more deadly school shootings that have taken place with the news. with certainly a disturbing trend in recent us history, many parents fear for the safety of their children as they go to school each day. as we frequently see, incidents of children coming to school with guns and shooting their classmates, or we can now cross live to dave linder for founding editor of online news site. this can't be happening day. thanks for being with us on kind of an interesting to say the least bit of news, the suspect is being charged as an adult just by being only 15 years old. why do you think this is the case? the united states has a long history of charging children as adults as a way of getting, you know, hugely long sentences that they can never get out of. so we have here in pennsylvania, i believe it's almost a 100 people who are serving life terms who were convicted for crimes committed as children. and so that's it, just a very vindictive society that we have and sort of medieval view

u. s. schools resumed and moved away from the remote learning that was in place during the panic when schools were largely shut down. let's review some of the more recent incidents in u. s. history. the more deadly school shootings that have taken place. both both we were all talking about how, you know, one of the upsides of all our kids being i was out of school for a year and a half for or up to a year and a half was that we weren't getting very many school shootings because there was nobody in school. so maybe that's the cure for school shootings in the united states. just keep them kids home, you know? seriously, we're back up where we were now that the kids are back in school and they're shooting each other up again. like they were before, the 10 them, it started it and it's possible that some of this, it could be traced to the pandemic itself. just the fact that kids have been cooped up, that they haven't been specializing in normal ways for a year or so that their parents were maybe a, you know, not as patient with them and as focused on them as they should have been because they were cooped up themselves. busy around the house now and with there's an increase in alcohol

you've got the history of the u. s. military using rape and homicide against native women as a military tactic to conquer tribal nations. we don't talk about that history is on a mystery as to why there's a high rate of violence against our native women today. at the same time, we have a legal framework that allows that violence to continue in $978.00. the united states supreme court in all of font versus squamish indian tribe eliminated tribal criminal jurisdiction over non indians who come on to tribal lands and commit crimes. so today, non indians can walk on to a reservation or on to indian lands and murder, a native women with no consequences. and they do, the supreme court has taken that jurisdiction away well, and i want to unpack the legal part of that in just a sec. i'm still trying to wrap my mind around this idea that when a crime is committed or when someone is just reported missing, carry that the response is indifference or, you know, it's not a crime to go missing to get dismissed. i mean, why is that? i
