As you’re probably aware, a 19-year-old man opened fire on the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida this Wednesday, killing 17 people.
Following this tragic incident, WWE Superstar Randy Orton has chosen to share a picture on Instagram depicting a conversation where an individual questions why God would “allow so much violence in our schools”, to which “God” would remark, “I’m not allowed in schools.”
A random following on Instagram challenged The Viper’s post stating, “Just throw some thoughts and prayers at it Randy, I’m sure it’ll turn out fine.” Here’s his response:
“It would help. But what really needs to be done is every school have cameras in classrooms and an armed guard former special forces somebody who can put a bullet between the kids eyes before so many lives are lost. If these kids are told to huddle together in a group on the floor when an intruder comes and shoots up their school, shouldn’t they be able to pray with each other too?”
It’s perhaps worth noting that there are no actual laws prohibiting anyone of any religion from praying anywhere, including within the confines of a public school. There are, in fact, large sections of the American judicial system that are specifically in place to make sure those freedoms are protected for those who choose to participate in them.
