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?

Agreed
Everyone in the classroom tosses a rock. Then the shooter shoots off his third round.

Sure, if everyone was tossing rocks, a-okay.
Sadly, the shooters aren’t.

I hate auto correct.
It’s hard to throw rocks when you are getting pelted with bullets.

Reality is stranger than fiction.
If someone had written satire about this, we’d have all laughed at it.
Sadly, satire can no longer compete with reality.
The new reasons to homeschool are just beyond belief.

My best friend's father use to have a term for this kind of thinking.
He called them *college educated idiots*.

OTOH, if they have a dynamite lacrosse team, it might do some good.
As long as the kids are allowed their lax sticks in class.
