The proximate cause of this tragedy is a teacher leaving an outside door open.
The police response, while incompetent, is a secondary issue.
A female teacher is being protected.
She blocked the door open.
No open door, shooter can’t get into the school.
The videos clearly show the door was blocked open.
It may be that this female teacher is devastated by her actions.
She should be.
She should also be prosecuted.
I don’t really care about her tears.
Let’s use a split screen on tv.
Have her crying on one side and have the screams of terrified children on the other side.
The only way to stop this kind of stuff from happening again is to kick the asses of the people responsible.
Proximate Cause clearly points to the teacher.
My understanding is that she did close the door and the lock failed to engage.
OK, so you’ve done a risk analysis. BFD.
Coppers are hired and paid to wade in when first barriers fail. They were trained and ordered (in the training) to do so only weeks before.
If every failsafe fails then all the failsafes are at fault — no one more than another. Or less.
