Derrick Brun was an unarmed security guard at Red Lake High School, the Minnesota school where the massacre occurred. LeeAnn Grant was his partner. When the shooting began Mr. Brun went after the shooter. However, school regulations require that security guards must be unarmed. Unable to defend himself or the students under his protection, Brun had little to utilize but his courage. But as he stood face to face with a murderer armed with a shotgun, his courage offered him no defense, and Bruns was shortly gunned down.
Here's the help he got from his partner, Miss Grant:
"I screamed to Derrick, 'There's a guy with a gun -- we need to run!' I yelled. I screamed: 'Come on. Let's go.'" She then fled. But Brun didn't flee. He took his job as a security guard seriously, and ran towards the sound of the shots. Sweet little that she is, Miss Grant has no doubt that Bruns was a hero, noting that because of "the type of person he was" she was reassured. "I know he was going to try to protect us. I knew he was going to hold him back."
It can safely be concluded that 5 school children, a teacher, and a security guard are dead today in part because the school decided to have unarmed guards "protect" the kids, one of whom was a frightened lady who had no place whatsoever in that position of authority.
Why who do they think they are? Injecting common sense into a debate...
Absolutely, totally, mind-numbingly STUPID!!!
That's about all there is to say about the school policy---now it's time for the lawsuits to start. I don't know any more word's to describe that level of dumass!
