Oh dear god no. No. Nope.

On a similar note, there's a WA lawmaker who wants teachers to be armed. I am basically flipping out at the stupidity and carelessness of people.

NO. This is NOT the answer. Anyone who works around children will tell you this.

i'm in school to become an elementary school teacher and if i ever got a job at a district that required me to carry a firearm, i'd quit. this is NOT the answer.

What can possibly go wrong with this brilliant plan?

Unfortunately this is truly how Arpaio is. He really believes he is above the law, and even tried to get Obama kept off of the ballot here in AZ so we couldn't vote for him. I still firmly believe he didn't win this latest term legally either. But yeah, he pulls this shit.

i'm in the same line of thinking - there's just no way he won legally.

Oh I wouldn't be surprised if he stuffed the boxes with the names of his dearly departed longtime friends. Not one bit.
