Look. You sound snippy that I asked. We’ve read each other’s posts for a while, so you know I am not a dink or a troll, and I don’t think you are either.
I am simply saying that I find it non-credible that any non-police/military organization such as a school, hospital, or company would run an “active shooter” drill with the sound of active shooting going on. I have knowledge of what organizations have to go through to run things like an active shooter drill, and having the sound of gunshots to increase the realism is not one of them. Some people may have done that in the past at some point, but to do them now you have to have someone coordinate with either a training agency, local law enforcement, or both to both learn how to train people and conduct a drill, and always done in full participation with local law enforcement.
Not saying there might not be a company that does it off the cuff, but a school in a big, liberal district? I don’t see it.
BTW, I don’t believe that website on the first link is something I would trust as a source of truth (after reading the “about us” section at 153news.net...I got sucked in by one almost exactly like that on FR, so I am a little wary now) and the second one is twitter.
I think both of those may be useful for collaboration, but that is about it, IMO.
Also, I don’t trust personal accounts in those situations, either. One can speak to ten people and get ten different variants of an event.
I didn't mean it to be snippy. It was more of a joke on the old routine here on FR where someone makes a claim, someone asks for proof (links) and then they can't provide any.
I was glad you asked for links and was happy to provide them.
I would agree. Might panic some students into getting hurt, and then there would be lawsuits.

Agreed. That brings up the question... WHO was running the ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILL and WHO did they COORDINATE WITH, and who did they NOT coordinate with ?
Did the Sheriff and his deputies know ? Did the principal ? Did the students ? Did the students know when it started, when it was over ?

The Broward County school district is not just a liberal district, it is 'special'. Home of Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Agreed. But these were interviews taken right after the shootings, where these students had no motivation to lie.
Remember TWA 800 and how there was a video of something like a missile leaving the surface and hitting the plane ? Remember how there were tons of witnesses who said they saw the same thing ?
Remember how the media and government sent all that down the rabbit hole ?

A wise choice.

True. But do you think that one girl is lying about walking down the hall with CRUZ ? Why would she say she heard gunfire then ?
These two females aren't the only ones that said there was a SHOOTER DRILL that day. IIRC, even David Hogg said there was.
