The only thing I see needing a "hard look" as the Gov puts it is why was the shooter taken into custody? Why was he not shot?
Why was he not shot?
Exactly.Life is risky... get over it. And have a plan to defend yourself and love ones at all times.
get over it. And have a plan to defend yourself and love ones at all times. If we love these ones the teacher is calling "children" we need to do a better job of defending our schools. Don't like gates, metal detectors, armed guards, armed staff... get over it! It's not 1956 any more!!!
Do you want a police state? Because that is how you get (more of) a police state. No thanks.
We secure our courtrooms, city halls and state houses, yet, refuse to secure our schools and our future generations... So very sad...
How is protecting schools, universities, and colleges a police state? It's thinking like above that gets us nowhere and these places continue to be targets. Right now I can walk into any of the above, carrying concealed, and not be stopped to check my creds. We keep doing the same thing over and over and (Edit: expect different) results. You know what that is called.
Not practical, but you sure can secure individual buildings, couldn't you?Also, have you been on many college campuses? They are wide open and often intermingled with the surrounding city.
Are you going to lock down 4 blocks with metal detectors, guards, and drones?
Because everytime you add all that crap, you accomplish:
1) a line, which is a static target rich environment with no protection, usually in the open.
2) a place for Gestapo to stop you and check your papers, tax status, etc. As more and more .gov systems become linked, along with secret "no fly" lists, this will become a major issue.
3) security theater that protects against some threats, but not all, while eliminating peoples ability to defend themselves. I.e., a strong man can still attack or rape a woman in a gun free zone, someone can bring in a plastic knife, or biological weapon.
4) a general hassle that costs lots of money and is only good for preventing vastly statistically insignificant results.
The only solution is to empower and allow people to defend themselves.
Not practical, but you sure can secure individual buildings, couldn't you?
Theoretically yes, at an enormous cost, and someone in a bell tower with a bolt action rifle still did a lot of damage ahooting at people in the open.
