Dr. Ben Carson is under attack for some common-sense prescriptions for protecting the lives of children and other innocents from mass killers.
The presidential candidate and world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon suggested that mass killers, like so and so in Roseburg, Oregon, last week, should be stormed by those awaiting death and injury at their hands.
“I would not just stand there and let him shoot me,” said Dr. Carson. “I would say: ‘Hey, guys, everybody attack him! He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.’”
He also suggested declaring schools as so-called “gun-free zones” is counterproductive and added that having trained, gun-bearing instructors is preferable, saying: “If the teacher was trained in the use of that weapon and had access to it, I would be much more comfortable if they had one than if they didn’t.”
Remarkably, Dr. Carson is being pilloried by the media for such suggestions.
Yet. I’ve never seen the New York Times or the Huffington Post question why large banks have armed security guards.
I’ve never seen TV anchors question why jewelry stores have armed security guards.
I’ve never seen anyone question why Brinks trucks have armed security guards.
Why is that?
Are money and material goods more precious to us than the lives of kindergarten students?
Are they more precious than the lives of college students?
Are they more precious than the lives of innocent people at the mercy of one maniac?

Schools should implement the same structure as air marshals.
Teachers should carry anonymously. On any given day, any teacher could be carrying, or not.
...and I’m sure there are plenty of cops that would like to pick up some side work being on patrol at schools.
...and each school should have a response protocol. NOT cower in a corner and hope the police gets there soon. I mean active, armed response. Cowering in a corner is not a response plan.
“resist slaughter”
Great idea but entirely foreign to current liberal culture.
The education mafia in this country have been busy turning white American boys into beta males for years now. If they get out of line they’re drugged or arrested.
