Stop Paying Mass Murderers to Kill Our Kids
Slow Facts ^ | 19 May, 2018 | Rob Morse

Posted on 05/19/2018 8:20:08 AM PDT by marktwain

Mass murderers kill our kids for simple reasons. Mass murder of innocents gives the murderer a powerful reward. Yes, murder pays. In fact, the payoff is huge. The payoff is also extremely reliable. As shocking as it is when our innocent children are murdered in our schools, we are not coming anywhere close to best practice in our effort to stop these horrific events. The sad fact is that mass murderers are learning and reacting faster than we are. Murderers are learning faster than our politicians and our school officials. Murderers are certainly learning faster than our news media. It is time for parents and other concerned citizens to change that. We know how to stop these attacks. We know what to do and we’re not doing it. Here is what you can do to make our kids safer. Where do we fall short?

The murderers learned their lessons well. Attacks follow a pattern and have a high probability of success. Some schools have a “full time” law enforcement officer at the school. That sounds good, but is a bad plan. Many schools don’t have that much protection and have to share an officer between several schools or between widely separated buildings. Stationing a law enforcement officer at the school may provide political cover for the sheriff and school board, but it is far from best practice. Are children gathered in a school location that is several minutes from the School Resource Officer? Are many children at school when there is not an armed adult protecting them? The answer is almost certainly ‘Yes!’ Are children off campus when with a school activity when they are unprotected? I’m sure they are.

Rob Morse lays out a decent plan. President Trump could do far worse than adopting these ideas to stop school shootings.

And as long as Hollywood and the Demonrat Socialist Workers Party is allowed unrestricted access to Sell their deviant, violent, morally bankrupt behavior to our children, it will continue to get worse.

Friends don’t let Friends WATCH TV, why would anyone allow their children to watch what hollywood and the entertainment industry produces??

>>Pass local ordinances that make it illegal to report the name and show the image of mass murderers.

So, the actual murderer becomes a faceless, nameless pixellated figure, but the GUNS become infamous celebrities. After all, all good stories need a villain. Once the person becomes anonymous, then the Progressive media can portray him as whatever they want—a blank slate to connect to the enemies of progressivism. Suddenly, his sickle and hammer becomes a MAGA hat, “but we won’t show the photos because that’s the law.”

Even if you wanted gun control, wouldn’t you do something in the short term to fix the problem?

I guess I answered my own question.

How about serious SERIOUS punishment to the parents that allow their gun access to their children.

I don't think it's a good idea either, cuz ALL the kids know who that SRO is, and he could easily be ambushed. Now, IF all the teachers or the ones who wanted them had guns, the kids would be MUCH safer.

No one robbed banks, till someone did it. Others then said..”Hey I can do that!”

No one robbed trains till someone did it.

Here is an interesting school shooting in 1884, Boston..

“As news of outlaw Jesse James reached the East Coast, young boys started to imitate him. For instance, boys armed with guns shot at police investigating their activities at the Concord-street schoolhouse.”[30]

After observing how the diabolically Clowns in America framed and set up Trump to try to attain the Deep State objective (impeach POTUS), does anyone doubt their backfield choreographing in the curious, sequenced, seemingly never ending, school shootings to attain another Deep State objective (gun confiscation)? Let’s see if Haspel is sharp and tough enough to weed out this rogue run away Deep State operation emanating from deep within the bowels of her agency.

The sad facts are that nobody wants to pay for any answers nor want to see the answers or in other words be like Israeli society, treat every school like a government building/bank/airport etc, what have you. Furthermore, the left will accept a mass murder a week to get to their goals. Their ideology accepts the human cost from slaughter of the unborn to slaughter in our schools because the cause supersedes the individual.

Mass murderers have the media on their side. They can kill dozens, and the media/left blames guns in the hands of non-violent people. No blame on the murderers.

Exactly. The Media benefit from these mass murders. They promote them with great vigor.

They do so by making celebrities out of the perpetrators.

They know about the copycat effect, and still keep on promoting them.

They do not promote other mass killings nearly as much.

I remember from a history class that students in the Roman Empire were known to attack and kill their teachers.

They used wax coated tablets to write on, using a stylus.

The stylus could be used effective used as a weapon, particular when styli are used when attacking as a pack.

Also that person is going to go years, maybe decades, maybe his whole career without an attack. It was clear that at least one of the school shootings that the SRO or whatever he was called was unprepared for an actual attack.

Obviously these need to be collateral duties for the teacher since they are so rarely called into service. That would require a huge attitudinal shift in the Schools of Education.
