Okay, since I don't have the mind of a potential school shooter, I can't disagree with you. But I think you're outside the parameters established. I was talking about "a gunman intent on causing casualties". The decision is made, location and pool of targets already
chosen, action initiated...
Let's be real for a moment. Let's say a gunman intent on causing casualties gets to a busy cafeteria quickly and totally unexpected. Does anyone think that an armed teacher, officer, or anyone, is going to prevent the killing. Maybe limit the scope of the carnage, but not prevent it.
Seems...
I'm waiting on the details. Three in particular:
1. What is it that the shooter originally set out to do? Seems he obviously had something in mind when he left the house.
2. Why was LE chasing him in the first place? Because of his Grandma? A tip or investigation?
3. How did he get into...
Right behind you. Funny, the guns in the pickups never concerned me. Forced Busing however, now that was an issue. By middle school, I was carrying a blade almost every day. I started training with intensity.
I never, ever, thought that the teachers were going to keep me safe.
Offf course they are. They always do. They run the Cult of Victim-hood. Shooter has to have a member card.
Otherwise they may have to admit that evil, wicked, forces exist. More people will learn to protect themselves. Next thing you know, their cult membership is seriously on the...
Honest answer - yes and no. My kids are out of the camps now (one's doing time at the 'Big House' IU). They did go to public school - partly because I wanted them to understand the rest of the world. I hated the choice, but thought that my kids needed to understand 'the system', and what the...
I agree.
However, the powers that be won't stop criminals flooding across the border; won't hold violent offenders without bail; won't make sentences about punishment; won't let good kids stand up to bullies; won't ....
Why would they take steps to stop the same vile creatures from shooting up...
As a parent, I couldn't just walk into my kids school. How the f*** did this a**hat @#%^* just run in and start shooting!!!?
I don't have any problem with locked doors (maybe one into office, then buzzed into elswhere?). No problem with armed SRO's. No problem with dragging the shooters...
a BIG NO THANKS! I appreciate your thinking, and would agree under other circumstances. From what I've seen, many of the teachers and faculty are exactly the triggered Karen's that I DON'T want to have rapid access to deadly force. They are not mature, not mentally stable, and more likely...
There are, and always will be, vile creatures walking amongst us. That's exactly why I will never relinquish my right to defend myself.
It has always baffled me how these events become posters and screaming points for the anti-self-defense crowd. Does anyone really believe there is a magic...
Didn't Indiana modify the law some years back so that your car is effectively your 'dwelling or cartilage' from a defense perspective? Something about right to protect oneself from carjacking situation? I really don't know, but would appreciate it someone here would point the right direction.
:) Old school martial arts gloves and a reasonable partner. Firm enough to jiggle your brain matter and rattle you up, soft enough not to really injure anyone. Oh - and you can grab with them. Just learning to deal with the seat belt in an 'urgent' situation might be worth it.
Truer words... Most people just can't imagine that might actually get hit. Then the bad code in their software locks up their whole system when they do.
On top of that, those with enough awareness and engage their sidearm into the fight (soon enough to matter), would likely be aware enough to...
I really hate this topic. Not really the topic... I HATE the way it is used.
It's important. It's worthy of deep reflection and discussion. Strong feelings are reasonable. However...
It's Pavlovian. "Ding!...slobber, Ding!...slobber." The political parties abuse it shamelessly. They...
