“Security” can never stop all such attacks.

All it can do is divert the attack to somewhere else.

Does anybody seriously believe that if Lanza hadn’t been able to get into the school he would have just gone home? Where he’d already murdered his Mom?

No, he would have gone to another school or some other public place and opened fire there.

How many schools in the country have bulletproof glass? What about if he’d rammed his vehicle into the doors at 20 mph? Are school doors anywhere built to resist that?

This attack could, and would, have been stopped if the cops had known it was coming. But a surprise attack is very, very difficult to defend against.

I really feel bad for these people but WTF could the school have done to prevent this

The ones that took that ride on AF1 to get to DC and make the anti-gun case crossed a line, I thought. Same with those doing these lawsuits. These situations indicate to me it's no longer about the victims, it's about them.

My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones and those others who were irreversibly traumatized by that day. These anctics of the selfish minority who don't want to give up the limelight mean that those who are grieving have to keep reliving the nightmare.

JMHO

The parents and lawyers involved in this lawsuit disgust me. What kind of person (other than Trayvon’s parents) says, “my child is dead, I wonder if I can make a profit from that”?

have filed a lawsuit against the school board and town, alleging inadequate security at the building where the gunman killed their children.

Would adequate security include armed guards on campus?

EZ fix: Give teachers special training in CCs and topics specific to school shootings and let them carry on site.

End of school shootings and it eliminates the possibility of an American Beslan.

The quality of majority of school teachers even if trained could probably not learn to protect anyone, they have been brainwashed in the public schools and colleges. Yes iam sure there are some exceptions, but look what comes across these pages.

Oh, and the bus drivers. If they hadn’t driven the kids to school that day they would not have been murdered...

I believe that this will be a very difficult suit to win. They will have to show what “adequate security” actually is and further, that such procedures were common and well know.

Families sue Newtown school board

A school board doesn't have an income. The taxpayers fund it. But the families are taxpayers. So basically you are suing yourself. If you win your taxes will be outrageous.

Murders? What murders? Just refer them to the 2012 FBI crime statics. Zero violent crime deaths in Newtown.
FBI are some crazy debunking truther deniers.

Problem is, these same left-leaning parents would probably have been screaming and hollering had the school district taken steps such as increasing the number of armed guards and providing teachers with guns. Liberals love hypocrisy.

Interesting that the actual names of the people filing suit are never mentioned in the article. They are just referred to as “the parents of (child’s name).”

If you made it voluntary the left-wing goofballs would keep themselves out of the program, the more responsible adults would choose to participate.

I’ve always wondered if this wasn’t a covered up islamic attack. They couldn’t wait to tear down all the evidence.
