I don't know what I will do in a situation like that. But if I saw a guy with a smoking gun walking down a hallway in the direction of people I have worked with and known for decades, I simply don't think I could run in the other direction and wait for the "professionals" to arrive.

You can ask a lot of parents in Uvalde how waiting for the *professionals* to arrive and don something worked out for them.

Absolutely. To me, running the other way is tantamount to abandoning them to murder.

Sad. The whole thing, the whole mindset, is just sad.

It encourages and fosters helplessness. What the hell good is that?
