Years ago a man walked onto a local elementary school at attempted to grab a little girl. After that I asked my ex-wife, who worked at another local school, why they didn't have armed officers at the schools.
She said: "The sight of police with guns might make the kids feel that they're not in a safe environment."
So, they want the kids to FEEL safe, not actually BE safe. Unbelievable.
A neighbor was complaining to me that the police officer who spends his days in our local grammar school actually wore a firearm.
She must have been whining about it to her husband because a couple of days later I saw her little boys out front playing with toy guns.
Oh I had the biggest smirk on my face.
