A Pennsylvania school district is arming classrooms with buckets of rocks as a last-ditch defense against mass shooters.
David Helsel, superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District in Schuylkill County, told ABC News on Friday that every elementary, middle and high school classroom in the district is stocked with a 5-gallon bucket full of river stones for students and teachers to pelt an armed intruder.
Weve been trying to be proactive just in case, Mr. Helsel said. How can you aim a gun if youre being pelted with rocks?

I have a feeling I will need this article in the future when the idea fails.
This is satire, right? Please tell me if lt is.
I thought this was satire at first
If you are only allowed 4 squares of toilet paper and 4 bullets then why not 4 rocks?
Yes, because teachers and students are going to stand up and throw to take one for the team!
David Hogg, what’s your take? I mean, no armed teachers or admins, right? So you must approve I take it?
Or should they just hunker down and wait for Coward County LE to come save the day?
Well?
Monty Python sadly mirroring reality...

The trouble is anyone who leads an organization that implements such a titanically stupid idea, and will go on the record as doing so, is a manager who has surrounded himself with brown-nosers and toadies... by definition.
I have no doubt many SMEs would be more than happy to volunteer in an independent review of this policy ;-)
Body armor/riot gear. Also shoot anyone going for the bucket.
I assume since these are weapons the buckets will be kept in locked closets free from being accidentally thrown and injuring students.
I don't know how to follow stupid - I can't process it.
It's but one reason I stopped listening to Obozo in 2008. Early-on. I could only handle small snippets of his lies at a time.
It's alarming there are this many idiots in the country.
But, after 2008 and 2012, I certainly am not surprised.
sigh
Had 2 surrounding a manager just like that. I'm very sorry to say. Sometimes you just can't win so you walk away.

“Pa. school district arms teachers, students with buckets of rocks in case of shooting”
Worked for cave morons. Would be ok if you could keep stoning after shooter went down.
Now that there is AN AUTOMATIC ASSAULT ROCK CHUCKER AND NEEDS TO BE BANNED!
Small step in the right direction.
Better strategy than playing dead, or waiting on police who may be cowering outside.

You can’t be serious.
Here is a video of a teacher describing the Parkland school shooting. Think what would happen if she remained in the hallway and started throwing rocks at the shooter.
Yes, I am serious.
There are anti gun crazies out there. What would you suggest? Just lay on the floor and be executed?
Hopefully, there will be only one “students massacred while throwing rocks at terrorist” stories, before the administration comes to their senses and arms trained teachers, coaches and administrators.
I am no fan of passivity, nor of waiting on help to arrive and deploy.
“There are anti gun crazies out there. What would you suggest? Just lay on the floor and be executed?”
Did you even watch the video?
Would you give your child a few rocks and tell him to throw them at shooter with an automatic weapon?
Did you even listen to what I said?
