NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.

The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

    If you want to solve a problem you need to understand the problem, using terms like “assault rifle” when 97% of all gun violence uses hand-guns including school shootings shows you don’t actually care about understanding the problem, let alone solve it.

      So… you do think you are a good person. Wow

      Also: Since you bring it up, pistols are bad too. So I would totally be happy banning all guns, if that makes you feel better. I am sure it does since you felt the need to point out how dangerous handguns are too.

      No civilized nation has this many firearms in the hands of private civilians and, shockingly, no civilized nation has reached the point where we mix up which mass murder of children a given news story is talking about because so many happened last month.
