You guys saying "well are they wrong?" Are missing the point, the lawyer is attempting to normalize school shootings, and he's trying to do this in order to let the school get away with not taking the appropriate steps to prevent this incident from happening.

Well, okay then. Did the school do everything it could to mitigate this professional hazard?

Let's see the "school shooting" part of the risk assessment, the prevention steps taken, the training, and so on.

Workplace injury?? It's a school, not a fucking shooting range.

If we're not going to enact common sense gun laws and protections for the public, then it is a workplace injury. She should still be allowed to sue those responsible for not protecting her and the children in her care, but when you normalize school shootings this is what you get. If a cop can say getting shot is a workplace injury and receive compensation for the rest of his life, so should she.

Capitalism demands reducing human lives to resources.

Were they at work when the injury occurred? Check Were there safeguards that the workplace could have done to prevent the injury? Check.

Wanting to not get shot at work is so woke...

Only in in gun nut America would anyone in their right mind would call being fucking shot a 'workplace injury'. I mean if this is what is expected then they should be making 100K+ a year since they face being shot more than being a cop.

James Graves, the president of the Newport News teachers union

Graves said, “These lawyers have started a significant hurricane in our district by saying that being shot is part of what teachers signed up for.”

this is grim but when i saw his last name, the first thing i thought of was nominative determinism theory (hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work which reflect their names.)

lastly, at what point does something become labeled a "work hazard"? i'm looking forward to seeing how this case pans out. also, i wonder how insurance companies are going to react to this.

What happened to holding the parent liable for what their kids do? Like the Oxford MI shooting the parents were charged. Lets keep doing that, keep charging the parents for the kids crimes. Maybe parents will take a more vested interest in what the fuck their kids are doing, watching, websites they are viewing.

So cops being shot is too?

I wonder if you're a postal worker and get shot by another postal worker if it's a workplace injury. If that's a workplace hazard.

This kid has major Boondocks vibes.
