I agree Cindy, I think it is time for kids to be taught that if a man or woman comes into your school with a gun, the best thing you can do is all charge him and get the gun away from him. Chances are more lives would be spared if this was taught. I think back at Columbine and think of all the kids in the library. They all could have jumped Eric and Dylan and gotten those guns away if they had tried. Instead the laid still and were killed, no defense! Personally, I'd rather go to my death fighting than laying down and letting someone take my life.
It is just rough to hear each one of these stories as none of them you hear of anyone fighting back with the killers. It is time to hear something different should God forbid something like this happens again!
I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I really believe the kids need a pass word. Something like let's roll. They hear it and they know to run and hide if they can and if not to take the bad guy out as a group. Yeah sadly some may die but the pattern has been that they will anyway. Do you know of any that have not harmed or killed once they put their plan in action?
You've been in some hostage situations then?
