The news cartels need to be broken up because there is only one voice in what is falsely labeled as news.

Is this any surprise? As a former journalist, I can say that members of my former profession are among the laziest and most brainwashed people on earth. At J-school, they get a good dose of liberal indoctrination, coupled with a helping religious-like zeal that it is their mission to transform society. And, factor in a desire to become a rich, famous, celebrity and you have the mindset of most journos.

Fact is, gun control won’t stop school shootings, and neither will arming ever teacher. Effective security depends, first and foremost, on acknowledging there is a potential problem, and committing the resources required to deal with it. Next, you conduct a real-world threat assessment for every potential target. Look at it from the criminal’s point of view, and spare no amount of effort, creativity or analysis. Then, start formulating a plan, based on multiple layers of security that will deter over 90% of potential school shootings.

This isn’t rocket science. The Israelis have had a very effective system in place for years, one that deterred terrorist attacks before the security wall was put into place. It’s built around physical barriers, limited entry control points, armed/well-trained security personnel and a small number of teachers who have weapons inside the school.

But talking about realistic solutions takes too much time and besides, journos know that kind of coverage doesn’t advance their agenda. Much easier to cover politicians who scream gun control as the only answer, and lavish coverage on kids who survived the shooting and have been converted to the cause.
