Stem Academy in Highlands Ranch shooting

[crays]

Watched a bit of the press this morning while getting ready for work. I think I only heard the term "students" a couple times, while they (spurlock, polis and reporters) continually used "children". I know there are students younger than high school age at this school, but the bulk, if not the entirety, of the event happened in the high school. It just further illustrates the need to drive agenda.

Another interesting thing was that spurlock, in particular, insisted on reiterating that the two suspects were minors. Hmmm. I guess an 18 year old shooter qualifies as a minor, but we should give 16 year olds the voice of the vote...

I will withhold my comments on the demeanor of spurlock and polis throughout the time that I watched, but I will say that one of the two seemed a lot more uncomfortable than stressed out.

ETA, based on doc45's post above:
He did everything he could to deflect all questions concerning that in the portion that I watched, but he did actually admit that one of the suspects was "detained" when taken into SO custody. The only description he would give when asked directly about student intervention was that some of them may have "encountered" the suspects.

Lots of interesting phrasing in the answers put forth by both s and p. And of course as I was turning it off to leave, our ever-pandering gov was answering a question in spanish...
