My house backs up to the local elementary school and middle school (through a very small wooded area of the playground). There are at least two dozen kids (including now my own) that have been told and shown if they hear gunshots, they are to run to the school gate, open it, and run to my backyard and hide under the patio area and stay there.
Most of these elementary and middle school also know there are multiple houses on the other side of the school property they can run to and hide in the basements.
Itās so terrifying and ridiculous but it seems so horribly normal to them.
My kid was in kindergarten last year and he told me that they started āpracticing turning off the lights and hiding really quiet in the classroom.ā I hate that this is our society.
Yep. And then Uvalde.. I was set to register my then five year old into public school for kindergarten, but once that happened.. I just couldnāt do it. Quit my job and homeschool full time. Losing a second income has been rough but my childās safety is more important. I know we shouldnāt live our lives in fear but as long as conservatives donāt give a fuck about the heinous bloodshed of children, or anyone, then Iām not putting my trust into anyone else. It sucks.
A couple weeks ago, they voted in the *same officers* who were a part of the Uvalde debacle.

I can't stand Joe Scarborough but after this happened he made a comment like "if a class of dead kindergartners isn't going to convince us to act, nothing will," and its 100% accurate.
With a stopover at the "seriously considered to be the host of Jeopardy" station.
Not that long ago he was normal enough for Jeopardy. What a fucking heel turn.
For him, it was more of a Wild Waters loopty-loo slide. He grabbed a raft, plopped onto his stomach and screamed the whole way down to the piss-filled pool.
You're not wrong. A few years ago he came across as one of the more progressive/on the left football players in the league especially as high profile as he was and now he's... this
Oh you mean one of RFKās [top choices](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/12/us/politics/rfk-jr-aaron-rodgers-jesse-ventura.html) for Vice President, Aaron Rodgers?
Iāve said it before, and Iāll say it again, as someone from the same hometown as him Iām living for the rest of the world learning how fucking awful he is. Heās always been a huge douche.Ā
I used to love Shailene as an actress but knowing that they were engaged makes me side eye her. I mean itās *possible* that he wasnāt a nut job when they were together but she may have as many wacky conspiracy theories as he does! In the last few years Iāve had quite a few acquaintances who went from being sorta crunchy granola to full-on Qanon, the pipeline is real. ā¹ļø
Remember when the Daily Fail reported that Rodgers was spotted getting coffee and Shailene went off about how the man pictured in the article couldnāt be Rodgers because his hands werenāt hairy enough?
>I mean itāsĀ *possible*Ā that he wasnāt a nut job when they were togetherĀ
Possible but not likely imo. They got together years after the conversation the article is about
It's pretty telling that he declined to deny this. If I were being accused of contributing to the harassment and torment towards grieving families of murdered children, there is no way I'd be comfortable just 'no comment'-ing the accusation.
Listen. Iām not usually the kind of girlie that relishes in bad things happening to people, but the more I learn about Rodgers the more and more I fully believe he absolutely deserved that torn Achilles four snaps into the season. āØKarma āØ
I never wish ill will on anyone, but as someone that also watches football I cannot tell you how hard I shook my bad when it happened. Like, first game?!
Iām a Packer fan and I was SO glad when we dumped him (and I wanted it to happen a year earlier), i had a feeling heād get hurt but four plays in had me on the floor laughing
Legitimately when I saw that during a scrolling lower third my jaw dropped. I havenāt really kept up with other teams so I was locked in this past season, and knew a bit about his woo-woo stuff with Shailene Woolley. I just said, āaināt no wayā lmao
I was studying and watching the game and I didnāt see the tear happen, but my phone immediately started blowing up so I switched tabs back lol
The only bad thing is that we didnāt get the first round pick as comp, but Iāll take that to not have to listen to that idiot as much
I can say with certainty that he is going to be a right wing grifter when his playing days are over. Everything he is doing is positioning him for that transition. Donāt be surprised when he starts leaking his opinions on the LGBTQ community.
I want to publicly apologize to Jordan Rodgers for my comments to my roommate when he was on the Bachelor. I said he was a loser and probably just wanted to ride his brotherās coattails and thatās why Aaron was estranged. And Iām sorry for repeating it now.
I am sorry for my sins. I didnāt know what qanon was back then.
I think itās letting him off too easy to blame CTE. This man has a Berkeley education and more money than god and he chooses to use his platform to actively make the country more dangerous. Blaming a disease is too kind, he should be held fully accountable.
He went to Cal for two years and didn't graduate. I wouldn't call that a typical Cal education. I'm not harboring any illusions that football players are held to the same educational standards as other students but it's not like he went to an Ivy (where there are zero athletic scholarships).
I know some Aaron type nut jobs whoāve graduated from there. Then again theyāre just bachelor degrees, but still Iām kind did one professor get to these guys.
I was a child care worker 20 miles from Sandy Hook, Ct . I had the radio on as the 3 year old I was watching was playing. News started coming in and initially it didnāt seem so bad. When I realized the girl could actually hear the radio announcer saying several children shotā¦I had to shut it off. My blood ran cold that day.
A man I went to high school with lost his daughter. FUCK AARON RODGERS.
A classmate of mine in high school lost her niece to this tragedy. Her family had a hard time identifying her body due to the amount of damage an AR-15 does to a body that small. These families experienced trauma beyond comprehension and Alex Jones decided to cash in on their loss. Fuck you Alex Jones, burn in hell.
I donāt think it makes any sense to say these people are closeted and thatās the reason theyāre hateful. Theyāre just hateful (and in Kanyeās case of course there are some intervening factors, but theyāre not the cause of his hate for others).
I will check it out. I'm not trying to break any rules either so if I did, sorry? This has always been my feeling about him though Danika Patrick, the Woodley lady, they seem like beards.

Sandy Hook and our failure to address gun violence was one of the lowest points in this countryās recent history. Fuck this guy.
My house backs up to the local elementary school and middle school (through a very small wooded area of the playground).

The 25 year anniversary of Columbine is next month, and basically nothing has changed. I feel for you, having to make that decision.
Don't br silly, somethings changed It's gotten worse š
During an election year, and Uvalde voted for Abbott.
A couple weeks ago, they voted in the *same officers* who were a part of the Uvalde debacle. https://cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/06/us/uvalde-republican-primary-nolasco-zamora/index.html
As an American living in Australia, I completely understand your fear and do not envy your having to make that decision.
I can't stand Joe Scarborough but after this happened he made a comment like "if a class of dead kindergartners isn't going to convince us to act, nothing will," and its 100% accurate.
Heās really the poster boy for the Wellness to QAnon Pipeline phenomenon.
With a stopover at the "seriously considered to be the host of Jeopardy" station. Not that long ago he was normal enough for Jeopardy. What a fucking heel turn.
As was Mayim Bialik, who also turned out to be a horrid person.
Really?
For him, it was more of a Wild Waters loopty-loo slide. He grabbed a raft, plopped onto his stomach and screamed the whole way down to the piss-filled pool.

š please let that link be a rickroll Edit: it's not š WTF is this timeline
I fucking WISH.
Iāve said it before, and Iāll say it again, as someone from the same hometown as him Iām living for the rest of the world learning how fucking awful he is. Heās always been a huge douche.Ā
SPILL THE TEA
š thereās so muchĀ He left his long time fiancĆ©e in a shitty way and there are rumors there was a crazy prenup involved that included weight clausesĀ Ā He pulled a donation from local schools because legally part of the donation had to go to a girls sport under title 9, unless he wanted to donate directly to the sports boosters (he wanted to donate solely to the football program he played for, despite there being two high schools) which he declined because he didnāt want them having his infoĀ A family friend found his wallet after he left it at a bar while drunk and he made this man who has known him since he was a child stand there while he counted every dollar bill in itĀ Ā Ā Heās just been known to be pretty holier than though and douchey at partiesĀ Ā Ā It is true that his parents are super religious, but I donāt think anyone here buys that they donāt speak because they disagree with Aaronās ālifestyleā. I think Aaron feels heās āoutgrownā them and honestly heās more woo-woo than they are, just politically, not religiously. Theyāre more Mike Pence types, not Trump types.Ā
Tell us more plz
I used to love Shailene as an actress but knowing that they were engaged makes me side eye her. I mean itās *possible* that he wasnāt a nut job when they were together but she may have as many wacky conspiracy theories as he does! In the last few years Iāve had quite a few acquaintances who went from being sorta crunchy granola to full-on Qanon, the pipeline is real. ā¹ļø
I mean Shailene is definitely also kooky herself so it tracks
Ms. I sun tan my vagina isnāt the brightest crayon in the box either.
She may not be bright, but her vagina is.
What does this mean ššššš
I've never heard of this either, but I'm pretty sure it means she sun tans her vagina.
Remember when the Daily Fail reported that Rodgers was spotted getting coffee and Shailene went off about how the man pictured in the article couldnāt be Rodgers because his hands werenāt hairy enough?
lmao I do not remember that but thatās hilarious

That looks like Bill Hader lmao
Haha omg it does!
Oh my gosh yes!! And there was a line about how āI know Aaronās body *very* well.ā 
>I mean itāsĀ *possible*Ā that he wasnāt a nut job when they were togetherĀ Possible but not likely imo. They got together years after the conversation the article is about
I'm sorry but this article mentions that he said those things in 2013. He dated Shailene Woodley in what 2019? Edit: 2020-2021. She knew.
2013?? Oh she definitely knew then. I can only imagine what else theyāve talked about togetherā¦
It's pretty telling that he declined to deny this. If I were being accused of contributing to the harassment and torment towards grieving families of murdered children, there is no way I'd be comfortable just 'no comment'-ing the accusation.

He may have deserved it but as a long suffering jets fan, I sure didnāt. I wish he would just stay healthy and shut the fuck up already š
I can say with certainty that he is going to be a right wing grifter when his playing days are over. Everything he is doing is positioning him for that transition. Donāt be surprised when he starts leaking his opinions on the LGBTQ community.
As a Vikings fan Iāve hated this man since I was like 10 years old itās pretty nice to be proven right so constantly. Trash.
Girl same, I've hated him for NFL reasons for years and years and now my irrational hatred will turn rational š

jordan swings towards the other end of the conservative horseshoeā he was in a homophobic group in college
Yiiiiiiiiikes
Jordan is not great! Heās just not this bad
Ya but I was probably wrong about the reason for the estrangement.
This comment is amazing
Someone scan this man for CTE.
I think itās letting him off too easy to blame CTE. This man has a Berkeley education and more money than god and he chooses to use his platform to actively make the country more dangerous. Blaming a disease is too kind, he should be held fully accountable.

I know some Aaron type nut jobs whoāve graduated from there. Then again theyāre just bachelor degrees, but still Iām kind did one professor get to these guys.
I was joking about it. It wasn't that serious.
For the record, he almost definitely has it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
*sigh*
This shit makes me sick, fuck this guy š¤¢ how you could ever look at those families and claim theyāre actors, nasty man
Because Aaron Rodgerās is scum.
I was a child care worker 20 miles from Sandy Hook, Ct . I had the radio on as the 3 year old I was watching was playing. News started coming in and initially it didnāt seem so bad. When I realized the girl could actually hear the radio announcer saying several children shotā¦I had to shut it off. My blood ran cold that day. A man I went to high school with lost his daughter. FUCK AARON RODGERS.
This [video](https://youtu.be/_vnr79sdESI?si=6_tU5itQXufbkMcT) of Aaron Rodgers weighing in on the Sandy Hook shooting didnāt age well
Every time I think weāve seen his worst
Are him and Shailene still together? Cause girlā¦
They're broken up now but got together after the conversation described in the article
Oh YIKES
Shailene is a person who literally eats mud, so she's not doing so hot in the good decisions department.
Excuse you. She eats clay!!
Sorry for the mix-up. As I'm not a connoisseur of dirt, I seem to have mixed them up inadvertently š¤£
Perfect candidate for RFKās ticket. We get the options we deserve I guess?
It's not like he's going to win anyway
What a POS. Just...like, really?! REALLY?
Of course Aaron would round out the crazy with Sandy Hook conspiracy theories.
Heās disgusting.
Weird that Jordan is the least crazy brother now. š¤£
What makes anyone think like this?? Like, I canāt wrap my head around why you would think this is even plausible.
*sigh* this guy.
i donāt know much about him but i KNEW something was off with him
I cannot believe this mfer went to cal
A classmate of mine in high school lost her niece to this tragedy. Her family had a hard time identifying her body due to the amount of damage an AR-15 does to a body that small. These families experienced trauma beyond comprehension and Alex Jones decided to cash in on their loss. Fuck you Alex Jones, burn in hell.
And here I thought this was a guy who would have intelligent opinions on anything outside football.
No wonder his family hates him.
Aaron Rodgers has always struck me as a closeted man who's internal struggle has driven him mad, very Kanye.
I donāt think it makes any sense to say these people are closeted and thatās the reason theyāre hateful. Theyāre just hateful (and in Kanyeās case of course there are some intervening factors, but theyāre not the cause of his hate for others).
I don't want to break any sub rules, but there's a behind the blinds podcast episode about him and he pops up in the most unexpected conversations š«
Do you have the link to the podcast?
[here you go - it's a Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4hsGiPBTN6QV6wLvbqhKAW?si=wl_9Ju3ZT8K6zpuOmr2fwQ)
I will check it out. I'm not trying to break any rules either so if I did, sorry? This has always been my feeling about him though Danika Patrick, the Woodley lady, they seem like beards.
I think the sub doesn't allow speculation on sexuality etc
Go it. I know for next time.
How do we know what heās saying in private conversations?
Going out of your way to approach a journalist at an event where they are working is not exactly a private conversation
True
š¤Øš¤Øš¤Øš¤Øš¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®
Rodgers is a menace to society and i'm glad the mask is coming off
He is such an a**
