NH Tea Party official sorry for describing how he’d have a ‘field day’ carrying out a school shooting
A New Hampshire town official was describing how he’d go about a school shooting and having a “field day.”
Jorge Mesa-Tejada, the chairman of the Hampstead Advisory Budget Committee, made the remarks Thursday during a public discussion about safety concerns regarding mobile classrooms at a local elementary school.
The Tea Party Republican opposes a $4.5 million construction bond, and his controversial remarks were in response to an infomercial produced by school officials that argues new buildings are needed, among other reasons, to protect children from potential sniper attacks.
Mesa-Tejada said renovations would not make Hampstead Central School any safer, and he then launched into a highly detailed description of how he might carry out a mass shooting at the school.
“Based on today’s situation, we can have snipers anywhere shooting people and all that, they might be shot,” he said. “Well, that’s true, it could happen — but based on my Marine Corps training, if I wanted to really do harm, I wouldn’t do it while they’re going from the portables to the main building. I would wait until recess. I would hide in the woods behind them and I’d have a field day.”

This ass hat isn’t worthy of serving burgers at a fast food joint — he certainly has no business being on a committee whose purpose is to make important decisions regarding the safety and welfare of children.

Good to see some common sense is being used.

Unless invited. I hope that means until they can vote him off the committee in a special session, he comes in handcuffs and with a police escort.

I’d invite him, strip search him for weapons, and then tell the students “This is your brain on guns.”

so, what he’s saying is that our children’s safety isn’t worth 4.5 mil. and there’s absolutely no reason why we should have portables.

OK, so I live in a country that builds schools with snipers in mind…and we’re not at war…
Maybe we a couple too many guns out there…??? Just sayin…

Pretty apparent he’s done advance planning for a mass shooting. His apology doesn’t provide any solace for me.

At first, I was not going to read this article, just read the comments. After reading the responses, I read the article and I could not believe what this idiot said. He should not be around children, at all.
