Because so many school shooters are either in school or just out of school themselves it seems like lockdown drills, locking doors, or hardening entrances essentially becomes ‘taking off your shoes in airport security.’ An 18 year old shooter had lockdown drills growing up. They've been through school drills as kids. They know the entry procedures, the weak spots and the hiding places.
If anything security procedures and drills are giving some of them ideas, something to fantasize about.
In this the most recent shooting where the shooter reportedly 'barricaded' himself inside a classroom the so called barricade was quite possibly a heavy steel door with a lock on the inside specifically designed to keep an active shooter out. As a result it took longer to breach the classroom because authorities couldn't kick the door in and instead had to locate a key.

Guns are lot harder to illicitly manufacture and smuggle than drugs. But, I am generally inclined to agree that it's not a realistic solution.
It would be nice if we could apply the same "Responsible law-abiding citizens should not be punished because of the actions of a miniscule minority of stupid and/or crazy people" gun logic to drugs, though. At least that would be intellectually consistent.

That is a terrible look for the police.
So is the fact that a bunch of overweight officers in body armor with AR-15s standing around threatening the parents with tazers instead of what they should be doing: breaching the school, neutralizing the shooter to stop the slaughter, and getting medical care to the dying children.
Untrained unarmed parents willing to go up against a gunman while trained, armed, and armored cops, charged with defending the public, stop the parents instead of the gunman!

What in the actual fuck is this?!?!?!
Easy! Easy! Folks! Easy, take it easy, he’ll run out of ammo or get bored with the killing of people pretty soon. Just let it run it’s course. Don’t pay attention to him while he’s throwing a tantrum, that’s what he wants.

Maybe we try to do what Australia did in response to mass shootings: https://fortune.com/2018/02/20/austr...ntrol-success/
Why is it possible for other countries to fix their gun violence issues, mostly, but we act like it's impossible in the US? That's not necessarily for you specifically...but just a question to the TGR masses.Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

It is not like the crazed gunman was going to pick the locks.
You have gone from shrill to obtuse, and not just in this thread. It has be especially bad lately. You are not quite to leroy levels but you are trying very very hard. It is sad, because unlike SJG, you are not mentally handicapped.Originally Posted by blurred

For someone who doesn't absorb any news because it's too mentally difficult for him to do so...Leroy sure has a lot of opinions and alleged stats that he throws around to make his arguments.

The school district had a detailed plan to harden the schools. Didn't seem to work well...

That was a classroom door that was locked (some have even been hardened!), which at most schools, is a different beast than the emergency exit doors that are often much easier to open. Hardening schools is a difficult thing for many that will require new building with different architectural aims, perhaps dramatically so. I’m pretty sure I know all of the schools at least one person in this thread would have gone too contemporaneously and none were armored even though they claim so.
shove your smug pompous rationality up your ass, I was pointing out the stupidity of Bobby stupid, the definition of tgr tryhard dumbfuck
