  • Police let Rivers go, but then she sent a threatening message to her daughter's teacher 25 minutes later, the affidavit states.

    If she had the wrong skin color they would have air holed her on the spot for having a gun on school grounds. But because she's a good white she gets let go...and so threatens to kill the teacher not even a half an hour later. Amazing.

    • Indiana had one of the biggest KKK populations in the country

      250,000 at its peak (30% of native-born Indiana male population)

      They didn't just 'go away' at some nebulous point either, they raised families

    • Flying Squid was right to GTFO of Indiana

  • indiana, baby. The Crossroads of America. you know, i read once that back in the long ago olden times, they used to purposely execute people at crossroads so their ghosts wouldn't know which road to follow back to seek revenge. that about sums up indiana.

    When they arrived, officers noticed Rivers had something on her waistband that looked like a firearm, the affidavit stated.

    "I advised Carrie Rivers on the law in regard to having a firearm on school premises and that it was an arrestable offense. She understood and stated that she didn't even realize that she had it on because she is so used to wearing it and has been on school property with it before."

    The suspect's husband, Leon Rivers, said his wife meant no harm and has a firearm for "security around all the time" and "forgot to leave it" behind when she was “rushing in” to school that day.

    "We see (other parents) bring guns into the school all the time, just to drop kids off," he told NBC News on Tuesday. "I mean, you know, just coming and dropping the kids off and walking back out, like, for three seconds. They park in the front, drop the kid off, walk them in, and walk right back out."

    yeah, man, you know me. always running around with my gun in the waistband of my sweatpants. running my errands to the various schools, playgrounds, and parks. i do it so frequently, in my waistband like that, for security. people talk about something called a "holster", but that's for amateurs and weekend warriors.
