Texas Sen. Ted Cruz proposed a solution to school shootings: Stationing as many armed police officers in schools as there are in banks. Less than two weeks later, a shooter in Kentucky opened fire at a bank, killing at least five people and injuring eight others.

"You know, when you go to the bank, and you deposit money in the bank, there are armed police officers at the bank. Why? Because we want to protect the money we save. Why on earth do we protect a stupid deposit more than our children?" Cruz said on March 30.

"We have an opportunity right now to double the police officers on campus and keep kids safe," Cruz added.

He reiterated the sentiment in a tweet on March 31.

Cruz's proposed bill on school safety, which he has been pushing for months, was blocked in the Senate on March 30.

The Senator's insistence that banks are a paragon of safety and security came just days before a 25-year-old bank employee opened fire on his colleagues.

Cruz has, in the past, made widely panned suggestions on how to stop gun violence.

After the Uvalde school shooting, where a shooter killed 21 people, Cruz floated a bizarre idea for preventing school shootings: Having a "single point of entry" in schools.

"Fire exits should only open out. At that single point of entry, we should have multiple armed police officers or, if need be, military veterans trained to provide security and keep our children safe," Cruz said in an interview with Fox News, published on May 27.

Cruz was also booed at a September festival in Austin after his comments on gun legislation. At the festival, Cruz suggested that violence "is actually the only thing" that helps stop violence — a common, right-wing talking point often trotted out by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Cruz is also an NRA-friendly GOP politician. Days after the Uvalde shooting, Cruz refused to cancel his appearance at the organization's leadership conference in Houston. Justifying his decision, he told CBS News that the NRA "stands up for your rights, stands up for my rights, and stands up for the rights of every American."

Texas has the highest firearm mortality rate of any state — 4,164 firearm-related deaths in 2020 — per statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Representatives for Cruz did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment sent outside regular business hours.

"MAINTAIN DOUBLE GUARD AT PRISON," Wichita Beacon. December 15, 1931. Page 1. --- Federal Pen Quiet but Officers Take No Chances ---- LEAVENWORTH, KAN., Dec. 15. - (UP) - Leavenworth prison, scene of disorder during the past 48 hours, was quiet today, but the guard pa- trolling its massive gray walls remained at double strength.

Earl Thayer last of seven prisoners who escaped in a break late last week, was in solitary confinement today as were the other three captured alive.

Thayer was taken on the streets here. It was thought he had made good his escape and gotten out of the section, but he said he had been "hiding in the woods" not 12 miles. from the prison. He had ammunition, a 45 pistol and a 30-30 rifle with him.

Meanwhile, Warden T. B. White was reported improving in the hospital. He was suffering from shotgun wounds in his left arm. White was shot by the convicts after they kidnapped him.

A complete investigation as to the source of the six revolvers, shotguns and rifles used by the seven prison- ers was being conducted today by Santord Bates, director of federal prisons

Perfect Home Security Ideas That'll Help Your Safety

When you least expect it, your worst nightmare can come true. A thief or other dangerous criminal could break into your home to steal valuables or, worse, hurt your loved ones. Prevent this from happening by educating yourself on home security, starting with the great tips included in this article.

When getting a home security system, you need to consider if there has been one previously installed. If this is the case, you can actually have a cheaper or easier installation by choosing to go with what was done before. Remember that this can be a wired or wireless installation.

If you use a social media site such as Facebook it can be tempting to tell everyone that you are planning to go away or are already away. Try your best not to post about being away until you are back, especially if your site is not private. You never know who could be watching and see it as an opportunity to break in.

Having a good sized dog can make for a great home security system and deterrent to criminals who are considering breaking into your house. Even if you do not have a dog, buying a couple "beware of the dog" signs can be enough to deter people from robbing your house.

Home security systems have additional features to just being noise alarms. They can be programmed to alert the homeowner if a person enters the home. This isn't just for burglars; parents with young children can also use it as a valuable tool to know when their child has come inside.

Walk outside of your home at night and see what is visible through your windows. If you have a clear view of your valuables, especially easily stolen electronics, then so do potential thieves. If you don't want to rearrange the interior of your home, simply make sure that blinds or drapes block the view.

There is no denying the critical nature of keeping your home protected from outside intruders. The key to doing this successfully, though, is arming yourself with solid information and guidance. Hopefully the preceding article has offered you precisely the type of advice you needed to get your home security plan off the ground.

The fact that Judaism is trending because of both the wave of bomb threats on synagogues and Bradley Cooper's Antisemitism Adventure (his huge fake prosthetic nose, and him basically stealing the story from a Jewish man) is so infuriating and so exhaustingly typical.

The fact that I see Judaism trending on Tumblr and immediately think "oh no. Something Bad is happening to us." We're never trending cause it's fucking good. I never get to be excited, it's just cold dread.

The fact that Antisemitism is getting worse everyday and the only ones who ever talk about it are other Jews. The fact that no one else fucking cares. The only ones who support us are other Jews. Even when gentiles talk about Nazis or white supremacists they don't want to help us. We're just their prop, the canary in the coal mine and the perfect victim.

The fact that everyone's uncomfortable with Jews still being here. Reminding them of things they'd rather forget.

The fact that it'd be easier for them if we were all dead. Then they could tell stories about our people, dressed in offensive caricatures, without us making a fuss.

Well, well, it’s the glorious 25th of May again, so here you are, there’s some Ank-Morporkian posters here. Hope you like them.

(Spent around 40 hours on these two, so I’ll be really glad if you let me know what’s you think!)

P.S. Some details I intended to show, but have no idea if I managed to, so that’s a description.

— Havelock looks at Keel's face, not at the slogan, because for him, the person is more important for him than the function. Keel, however, looks into the distance.

— Vimes looks at the slogan, as if uninterested in who performs the function, only in what the function is. Vetinari, however, looks at him from the poster. The Patrician sees everything and everyone, remember?

— The poster with Keel is drawn dynamically, like the revolution that turned everything upside down in one day. The young Havelock’s cloak is also caught in the wind. But the poster with Vetinari is completely static, with straight lines and a strict front. A stable, let's say "sober" composition, like everything about the Patrician.

— The places where the lilac is worn match between the observer and the person on the poster.

— Keel-Sam here is at his most mature form, with a lot of gray hair, around 46-47 years old. Although Vetinari here is quite young, at most 40. It's actually implied that this timeline is before the events of the first book, so Vimes is still just the captain of the miserable Night Watch. I know that usually in my fanarts, he has long hair during the first two books, but here I've given him a more "mature" hairstyle for the sake of character recognition. Lol.

Head canon:

Hero's have adapted their suits to help them. They have extra back stabilization cus of a back injury, built in braces for their knees, elbow or wrists etc. This means they can't just take off their suits and trade them cus they're custom made for each hero.
