We are now officially in "Lord Of The Flies" territory.
That’s nice, kid. Come back when you know what the word “opportunist” means.
FYI : I survived the deadly Florida shooting on Valentine’s Day that left 17 people dead.
Thinking of making a T-shirt.
“..as slammed his teacher on social media, calling him an “opportunist” and “a coward,” ...”
Hey kid... got news for ya.
Four cowards were wearing body armor, badges, and were armed and hiding outside that day.
A locked door wouldn’t have stopped the psychopath if he wanted in.
Four armed deputies could have, but they chose to... “set up a perimeter” .. instead.
We are now officially in "Lord Of The Flies" territory.
The teacher was right. The student is wrong. In an active shooting situation, once inside a locked room, do not open the door under any circumstances.
Only after the situation is over is it safe to open the door. Didn’t we read in one situation the teacher and students demanded that the cop show his ID before they unlocked the door? That is the proper procedure.
Reminds me of a “twilight zone” episode involving a fallout shelter.
This teacher will not last long. He has lost the respect and the confidence of the students. Victoria Leigh Soto 1985 - 2012 was the hero.
Why does an uneducated, not yet nature kid with an opinion make a “headline”?
I am going to withhold judgement until I hear what Little Boss Hogg has to say. /S
Congress should pass a law designating the kids as "Shooting Survivors," and have them wear special armbands to remind the general public that they are "Shooting Survivors."
Because "Shooting Survivors" is such a long word, they should simply wear armbands with the initials "SS" on them. David Hogg can be the leader of the SS.
From all that has been revealed, it appears that they never had "shooter drills" down in Broward County. The Broward Coward Sherriff Israel and his band of so-called Deputies apparently didn't know (or care) that seconds count, and the teachers, staff and students didn't really know how to react.
As a result of this shooting, high schools in my area are having active shooter drills. You'd think they'd be welcomed by parents, but at least one has been loud (and obnoxious) in opposition because she is afraid her snowflake will be too traumatized by the drill, never mind about the trauma of an actual situation.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. There was no good option for this teacher.
Standard lockdown procedure is to lock the door and not to open it.
The current protocol is Run Hide Fight.
I guess that was under the “hide” part. Lock the door and the kid might not come in. They generally follow the path of least resistance.
If it was on the first floor, it should be followed by “toss a chair through a window and get the hell out.” Those are the instructions I’d given my kids when they went to a predominately jewish high school—right after Beslan. I alway figured the rich, white, jewish, suburban high school would be a nice target.
