A state senator who is advocating for arming teachers in the aftermath of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, accidentally shot a teacher with a rubber bullet during a training course, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Arkansas Sen. Jeremy Hutchinson (R) recently participated in “active shooter” training and mistakenly shot a teacher who was confronting a so-called bad guy. The experience gave Hutchinson “some pause” but failed to shake his confidence in the plan.

“The ideal would be to have a trained resource officer in every school,” Hutchinson told the paper. “The state and school districts can’t afford that.”

In July, Arkansas’ Clarksville School District announced that it would “train and arm 20 staff members who would act as security guards to defend against a gunman” and “applied for a license from the Arkansas Board of Private Investigators and Private Security Agencies to act as a private company with authority to hire private security officers.” Following a legal squabble, however, a state board is scheduled to decide next month if staff members can in fact act as security guards.





Yosemite Sam is indeed, the rootinist, tootinist, gun-slingin' cowpoke this side of the Mississip...

Yee-haw... or something like that,

[BlueToTheBone]

1. I guess we can see some problems with ole Jeremy's plan.

Shooting the teacher is really bad form.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Only if the teacher was out of season.

Wisconsin declared open season on teachers 2 years ago.

[Rex]

3. SO now that he shot a teacher with a rubber bullet

does he feel like an idiot or Dick Cheney?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

17. If the teacher apologizes, then it's Cheney.

[noiretextatique]

4. idiot

correction: fucking idiot.

[Buns_of_Fire]

5. The Derp is strong in this one, Obi-Wan.

People like Hutchinson would actually be funny, if they weren't so damned pathetic. And if they weren't in a position to screw over so many people.

[Thav]

6. Next Headline

"Armed teacher accidentially shoots and kills student. Teacher dismissed from position, school district sued."

[Electric Monk]

7. If only the teacher had had a gu—

er, nevermind

[sinkingfeeling]

8. He's another one of the Hutchinsons. Father was US Senator and

his uncle is Asa, former prosecutor for Clinton's impeachment and now with the NRA.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

13. Jesus....

Arkansas is infected with these turds.

[Art_from_Ark]

22. And now Asa is a candidate for governor

[hatrack]

16. Yeah, kind of like the Duggars of politics

[Iliyah]

9. OOPS, teacher accidentally

shot students, my bad.

This is shit oozes

[libodem]

10. Tag this

'What could possibly go wrong'.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

11. I do hope there was no damage, yet.

...this is funnier than hell! The irony of it all.

[emmadoggy]

12. The day they put guns in schools,

is the day my kids are pulled out of the school and home schooled.

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. Another "oops" moment

The irony, the irony.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

[Generic Other]

15. New sign in front of the school entrance:

[struggle4progress]

18. "If charter schools don't destroy education, mebbe we could just shoot a buncha teachers"

[Thinkingabout]

19. Perhaps since the rubber bullet did not strike him he thinks it is okay, there will be some serious

Accidents, we need to prepare for them.

[thesquanderer]

20. “The ideal would be to have a trained resource officer in every school,”

"...but since we can't afford that, we'll do the stupidest possible thing instead."

...But, hell, we can afford to shoot a few teachers. Teacher are like, what, a dime a dozen or something?

Now this is not the first time the good State Senator has had embarrassing moments. There was the time his wife whacked him in the head with a “small preserved alligator head” when she found out he had a girlfriend he was paying out of his campaign account. She got charged with domestic battery, which doesn’t seem right because alligator head whacking isn’t even illegal in most states. Plus, she could have just said that she didn’t know it was loaded when she whacked...

You will be very sorry if you don't go to the link to check out the details!

...So now he’s lost his wife and he and his girlfriend are on the outs, so all he’s got left is teacher-shooting.

Let this be a cautionary tale: if an Republican Arkansas state senator comes near you, run like you’re being chased by an alligator head.

I cannot make this stuff up.

Does anyone know why all of these clowns look like Zimmerman clones? Is it some kind of infectious disease? Teabaggeritis?
