The talk shows and the media are busy blaming guns and politicking the incident shifting the blame when they should be furthering the need for student security.
Particularly since there have been examples occurring of such episodes worldwide.
One who comes to mind is John Howell of am890 WLS Chicago. Which prompted the inspiration for the following observations who got it so wrong left me screaming at my radio .
In this facilities case, their security system should be brought to public discussion particularly because this school has a so called “gun free zone”. It does have an officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart, but bans guns from the rest of its internal security . Plus examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with.
Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside.
“... In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside....”
In a secure system, he’d have already been in the NICS system and denied the purchase AND held at the store for the attempt.
But he was never PUT in the system, because everyone passed the buck. All the alphabet agencies fell down on this one, as well as the school that expelled him. People KNEW he was a violent time bomb, and did nothing. He posted a threat on YouTube, and it was ignored.
People should be losing jobs over this, but it’s much, much easier to just blame the gun.
And of course the Democrats currently putting on their blood dance are eternally grateful for the distraction it’s causing from the Nunes memo and their subversion being exposed. So expect the histrionics and righteous indignation to increase exponentially.
Train and arm a few teachers, a vice principle, etc, put retired LEOs or even state National Guard (in plain clothes) at each entry point.
School shooting problems solved.
Otherwise, it’s all Kabuki theater bullsh*t.
