The Best Defense Against School Shootings Is... Canned Foods? (Barf Alert)

School shootings are a very real and very serious danger. The last few years have seen an alarming number of deranged individuals — some of them students — march into their local school and open fire with powerful weapons.

Schools around the nation are coming up with preparedness plans like safety drills and procedures, many of them consulting with local law enforcement to educate students on what to do in the event of an attack. This is a good thing (albeit a sad commentary on our times). It's smart. Necessary.

But when most of us think of ways our kids can be protected or even defend themselves, I don't think this is what springs to mind.

That's right: a handful of schools across the nation are instituting a new policy that requires students to come to school with a can of food to use to defend themselves. Canned foods. As self defense. Against someone with a gun or a knife.

Putting an armed staff member, retired police officer or military member, or doing what Israel does, which is an actual military member or parent volunteers...seems so why out of whack to these liberal idiots...

Lock down drills won't work - if a bunch of can welding students are out in the hallways slinging cans of food at an armed attacker with a shotgun, M4, pistol, or samurai sword....it doesn't hold up and is just plain stupid!

my wife told me about this...she's a public school teacher and we are in Indiana!

Heavy weapons ???

Maybe the large institutional size ???

[Gaffer]

To my mind if there can’t be one or more armed guards, then each classroom should have intercoms and heavy bullet resistant solid core doors with closeable viewing ports for the occupants.

[BCW]

Yeah - I can you tell from immediate experience - that when schools look into updating their doors - both interior and exterior - the board of education complained how expensive it is and that waiting was more practical to see what others were doing before the school budget as impacted for something that was a rush of emotion, rather than sense.

bottom line - they don’t care - they put more funding into liberal indoctrination that protection of students!

[Le Chien Rouge]

Hillary Clinton says would we should have ‘empathy’ for our enemies(those who wish to do us harm).

Perhaps, yet another ‘touchy feely’ school program should be established in order for students to understand they live in an exploitative , racist nation, run by a greedy 1% and they somehow deserve to be shot by those acting out against this oppression.

Someone should suggest giving real self defense classes to the kiddies like Krav Maga or boxing and watch the administrators start stammering and back pedaling.

If they're going to provide weapons at least give them some axe handles not cans of food.

"Oh, no, we don't want to arm the kids they might hit each other with the axe handles!"

Really? But they won't throw cans at each other?

[digger48]

At least here in IN adminstrators can be armed.

[FrankR]

How long before someone comes up with a “can shooter” to launch those cans?

The next thing will be a video game, awarding points for hitting shooters with a can of peas.

“”””..board of education complained how expensive it is and that waiting was more practical to see what others were doing before the school budget as impacted for something that was a rush of emotion....””””

I guarantee that if they were offered federal dollars, or state dollars, they’d do it.

[Makana]

It brings to mind the program to collect scrap metal for the war effort in WW2. No meaningful value to the war effort other than offering the illusion that one was contributing.

Perhaps the kiddies can break into the canned goods as an alternative to Michelle’s lunches.

[BCW]

My wife’s school wanted “expired” canned goods...oh the humanity!

[tired&retired]

This is the logic, or lack there of, of Obama supporters!!!

"Hillary Clinton says would we should have ‘empathy’ for our enemies(those who wish to do us harm)."

Just ask Vince Foster, Paula Jones, Linda Tripp, James McDougal, Mary Mahoney, Ron Brown, Jerry Parks, Barry Seal,........

THE FOLLOWING CLINTON BODYGUARDS ARE DEAD:

Major William S. Barkley Jr.

Captain Scott J. Reynolds

Sgt. Brian Hanley

Sgt. Tim Sabel Major

General William Robertson

Col. William Densberger

Col. Robert Kelly Spec.

Gary Rhodes

Steve Willis Robert Williams

Conway LeBleu

Todd McKeehan

According to a May 5, 2000 article in the Arkansas Times, the "Body Count" list originated on an Internet site in 1994 run by an Indianapolis lawyer named Linda Thompson of the American Justice Federation. It has been circulating ever since. The list came up in sworn testimony that White House employee Linda Tripp gave to Judicial Watch chairman Larry Klayman in December, 1998. Trip testified that a hand-written list of people who were involved with Clinton and who had suffered mysterious deaths ended up on her office chair in the White House. This was just before the sex scandal between White House Intern Monica Lewinsky and President Clinton became known publicly. Tripp said that the list was accompanied by a note that said, "Linda, just thought you'd find this of interest."

I’ve started giving my son a can of tuna fish to take to school every day. I told him that if no gunman have attacked the school by the last period, he is free to open the can and have a snack. /sarc

This story indicates we have already won the argument, the left admits that there needs to be weapons at the ready, the argument now is what type of weapons.

Of course canned goods are a joke, so we need to move the debate up a notch.

[paint_your_wagon]

Whirled Peas is the solution to all forms of violence.

[I want the USA back]

The left has chosen to oppose having police or armed guards in schools, because of their hatred for guns in the hands of non-violent law-abiding people.

They prefer to have kids killed rather than protect them.

This proposal is insane. The one who proposed it is not fit for the office he/she/it is in.

Proposing that children pick up cans of chile and fling them at a deranged attacker with an automatic weapon is insane.

[Exeter]

Since they will need to carry these cans around the school (a can sitting in a desk is useless) someone could start manufacturing can holsters. Quick-draw holsters for tuna fish cans, shoulder holsters for 20 ounce Bush’s Baked Beans cans, maybe an ankle holster for your back-up can of peaches. Of course there’s the danger of kids challenging other kids to a show-down to decide who the fastest can in the school is, but that’s a risk the school is willing to take. After all, it’s for the children’s safety...
