High School Counselor On #ICantBreathe Protesters: ‘I will Personally SHOOT Every one Of Them’
The Central Bucks School District in Pennsylvania is investigating a guidance counselor’s post in which she threatened to shoot #ICantBreathe protesters who were demonstrating Sunday outside Lincoln Financial Field.
The Facebook message posted by MaryKate Blankenburg read, “If my child cannot get to the Eagles game due to protesters, I will personally SHOOT every one of them. You’ve been warned idiots!!”
She is an 11th grade guidance counselor at Central Bucks West High School.
The threat was focused on demonstrates outside the Philadelphia Eagles game as they protested against racism in the wake of the police-involved deaths of black men such as Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
The Facebook post has been deleted, but it has been circulated on social media, sparking outrage.

In a statement Monday morning, Central Bucks School District Superintendent David Weitzel said the district responded with urgency after seeing the “threatening, violent” message allegedly written by Blankenburg, according to Patch.com.
“We will take appropriate action once we learn all of the facts. I also notified the District Attorney’s Office on Sunday and we are working with them as they investigate this incident,” he said.
“The content of the post does not in any way reflect the beliefs or values of the Central Bucks School District,” Weitzel said.
She has reportedly been suspended with pay.
Once you post something on social media, it is never really “deleted.”

AAA SuperPatriot, This has nothing to do with being a liberal. This has to do with thinking about how one is going to come across when the larger community hears what you say and often, than most, what one says one is evaluated by the masses. I won’t want my kids to go to that school where she is considered a guidance counselor.

Wow! So now we’re shooting people because their presence prevents us from getting to a ball game? What if there just happens to be a huge crowd (sans protesters), and your daughter can’t make it through the crowd in time for kick off? Do you plan to open fire on the crowd?
By the way- glad to see that you’re clearly a responsible proponent of firearms- what a breath of fresh air you are!

Suspended with pay! Anotherwards, a paid vacation! She shouldn’t have any type of position with our youth. How’d she even get a college degree?

Not necessarily, most places suspended with pay means it is coming out of their sick time or vacation time and will only be reimbursed if she gets to keep her job. Until then it keeps the employer from being sued for wrongful termination, which isn’t covered under most insurance plans and in this case would come out of the school budget. We, as liberals do have a duty to follow through with due process, something a lot of outraged people seem to forget just because the other side doesn’t give a damn about it.

So her kid’s entertainment matters more to her than injustice and racism?

I seriously doubt she meant it. It’s like a comment made in frustration while sitting in traffic to a friend. There are seriously real people with real guns doing bad things. Time to move on!!

Asshole that she is, this is probably true and common sense should prevail.

yeah ITA with all you said..all of it
Paul Caporino December 9th, 2014 at 14:17
Nah, she should have known better than to post shit like that. Stupid move. If she can’t control her emotions she has no business being a counselor (or a cop for that matter).

what do you want to bet it wasn’t done fast enough for someone to have not downloaded a large portion of it. Plenty of free software out there to do it.

What’s the problem? She’s the GOP’s model as someone who’s qualified to shape young minds.

Sad. A lot of ignorance and misplaced priorities. Part of me hopes she gets fired just for the reason that her ignorance can’t be tolerated anymore.
