A Colorado sheriff’s office has apologized for posting an image of Santa Claus getting a concealed handgun permit.
“I’m sitting here in downtown Oxford, MI, waiting for the candlelight vigil to start to pay tribute to 4 students who were murdered by a handgun smuggled into the school."Another questioned the motivation for the post,"Santa has a legally concealed weapon? For protection against elves, reindeer, children who take a peek on Xmas eve? There is enough anxiety among children already," the user wrote.
“The families of the kids slaughtered in Oxford, MI would like a word. My daughter, who’s best friend is fighting for his life due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound, would like one as well,” another Twitter user, “This really is in poor taste, EPSO." "I’m sure it wasn’t meant to be anything other than fun, but with yet another school shooting this week, and loads of children worried about that, posting this furthers their fears. And turns parents off," the user wrote. "Please reconsider and apologize."Three hours later on Friday, the sheriff’s office apologized.
"EPSO intended to highlight our staff in the Concealed Handgun Permit Office, not to be insensitive," the sheriff’s office wrote."Santa correlates to the month of December and we thought he would help to recognize our hard working staff."died in an apparent murder-suicide at a birthday party in Colorado SpringsThe social media post is not the first to rile users after last week's school shooting.
