"Paula Poundwell?"

I also had to sort out my name recognition.

"Paula Poundstone" is the hack leftwing comedian brought down when caught sexually abusing her adopted kid.

"Paula Broadwell" (the articles co-author) is the bimbo who brought down General Petraeus when she suckered him into compromising classified government documents.

There is truth and good ideas in many places.
What all individuals should realize is, that in truth they are their own best ‘first responder’.
It is ludicrous to me to hear some say, “oh this was so unexpected” and “we never thought this could happen here.”
You will only hear these words from the un-informed and non-thinking.
We know human nature and every human is capable of doing what any human ever has.
So in essence we should expect s**t to happen, we should learn how to anticipate it better.
We should learn to believe someone when they say they would like to eat our livers, and wash it down with a fine Chianti, or you are infidel and should die. And quit saying “ah, he did not mean that.”
Hey stupid (government) take a killer at his word. I have actually met a couple real ones and these were not nice people.
We should stop lying to ourselves about ourselves and accept that we are, what we are; right now, mostly a foolish and violent race.
The only way to eradicate, crazy or emotionally charged un-controlled violence in the human race. Is to meet it with a superior, unfeeling violence. This is something we do without feelings of hatred or revenge.
Basically there are two types of ‘bad’ people out there; one that wants to gain off your misery and one that just wants to see you miserable or dead.
It is not your job to change these people. Really now think about it, for most people how good are you about changing yourself? So, what kind of luck do you think you will have with others?

Indeed, ideologically driven, lethal-shooter attacks represent a considerate threat to national security.

I had to force myself to read much of the rest, which I knew must eventually lead to a recommended "active-inactivity."

Getting past the 'considerate' for 'considerable' and lumping every gun statistic, probably unconsciously, into an 'ideologically-driven' category was a teeth-grinder.

This kindergartener basically recommends quality-circle rehearsals of sheltering in place, or passivity, instead of a full metal jacket.

Hinting at wider CPR training isn't completely brain dead, but it's obvious she and I don't live in the same world, so to speak.

CHOICE; killing about 3,300 every day; represents NO threat to national security.

Since 1970, more Americans have been killed on U.S. soil due to gun violence than all wars combined.


Since Roe v Wade; more than 58,000,000 potential American CITIZENS have been killed.

1. Clear: Leave the scene; help others if feasible; call 911.

2. Conceal self and others: Lock and barricade doors; find cover (bookcases, cabinets, etc.); be quiet; continue to evaluate other options.

3. Call 911: Call for help when safe without drawing attention; give as many details as possible about location of killer and injured.

4. Counter: If opportunity arises fight back, use the environment (chairs, scissors, laptops); if trained redirect weapon; commit to actions.

5. Care: When safe to do so, tend to injured; hemorrhage control should take precedence via direct pressure or tourniquet.

6. Comply: Once officers arrive, follow all directions; drop any self-defense items; raise both hands; remain calm.

WRONG!!


Unholster your Glock and make sure the safety is OFF.

She met Petraeus at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government when she was a grad student there and he was a visiting speaker.

> The easiest way to change their "vulnerability profile" is to remove the restrictions on carrying weapons and encourage responsible employees to carry weapons.

The idiot leftists think that if you act respectful towards a snake, tell it you want to be friends, feed it, and pet it that it will like you and you will all get along and be bestest friends.

I'd like to know where she got that info or is that just a liberal shock statement that's completely fabricated. That's one of the things I've learned dealing with Alinkskyte radicals the last 7+ years - never believe any of their facts or statistics when they use them to make a point. Most likely they are completely fabricated, drawn from irrelevant data, or skewed and used out of context.

Yes, fight back if possible.

I was curious about the co-author and did some googling.

He’s pretty impressive. His company teaches people how to fight back.

Cut state welfare and the state bureaucracy by 50%. Use the savings to train and arm the state militia. If a shooter pops up, the odds are favorable that a number of armed and trained militia members will be in the area to take out the bad guy.
