2 things stuck out to me.
One, was the 5 minute response time. while there are a couple of local schools within city limits where 5 minute "might" be possible, this particular school is 15 minutes from town on a good day.
Second, it seems that most school shooters have no intention of being taken alive, kinda throwing a kink in the whole idea of peacably taking them alive.
If they’re not arming the teachers, then this drill is useless. If they’re doing a lockdown (organizing the mass murderer for the crazy guy), then this drill is useless.
Google Maps (OK I know they are considered libs) says Northwestern HS is 6 miles from downtown Kokomo.
Had a student kill our principal in the parking lot before school thirty years ago. He went into the office and turned himself in. Have often wondered what if he had continued to shoot
Maybe it's time to build our schools like castles, with their own armed guards.
Lockdown in any emergency should be practiced, like we practice the bomb drills back in the 60s. But the teachers that are licensed to carry, let them do it! The life they save could be the one you love most.
If they don’t arm the teachers and train them to use the weapon, then all they are doing is teaching them that within 15 minutes they will have wet themselves and will probably be dead.
only libtards will disarm law-abiding people in their precious gun-free zone criminals ignore, and then give the disarmed ‘permission’ to ‘fight’ the crazed armed gunman.
they are effing morons. it’s like disarming a woman and throwing her in a building full of rapists but telling her while they’re shoving her into the building, she can ‘fight back’.
