A Florida high school teacher was placed on administrative leave after he told students he'd "be the best school shooter" with a "1,000 person body count."
The incident took place at Lakeland Senior High School, about 45 minutes from Tampa, on August 16 during a lockdown drill, according to a Polk County risk protection order.
Police interviewed 16 students about the incident. The teacher told students if he were a school shooter he'd plant improvised explosive devices (IEDs), then "fire a couple rounds and wait for everyone to hide, then press a button and boom -- everyone would die," according to student testimony.

That's like bragging to airport security that you could hijack any plane you wanted.

It's reassuring to know teachers are thinking of ways to blow up the very building they have easy access to. Great!

Damn this is one of those few times I'd be fine with a student whooping a teachers ass six ways from Sunday.

This would be a good red flag example of someone who should never be allowed to own weapons of any kind. Ever.

The teacher also said "he would put a bomb in the corner and put nails in it for shrapnel," another student told police.

His plan sounds eerily similar to the Bath School Disaster.

Why do people gotta be so fucked up?

"If I was a school shooter..." is not a phrase a teacher should be uttering during a school shooter drill. WTF

This fucker had to be thinking about this way before he began telling anyone anything. You don't just randomly come up with a plan like this. Get him away from any and all schools.

Of course he deflected charges using his military service. Absolutely revolting. He should be hauled away and given a felony just like that teenager.

what did he think he would achieve out of this? did he think would get adulation from his hypothetical victims?

all he did was scare the shit out of them. When their teacher inevitably gets fired is he going to carry out the plan he just told us? or what if someone else shoots up the school, where do we even go? they might have bombs everywhere.

Yo I don't like any of this. From the dude himself to the way the news is reporting it. This reads like it was said to openly give the next set of mass shooters "innovative" ideas.
