"Lockdown"? Sounds more like a prison than a school.

[old-ager]

Too bad the male teachers don't have guns.

[OXENinFLA]

I bet the teachers sure are glad they can't carry their own guns at the school......

[Buffettfan]

Oh no, the inmates are running the asylum (public school system) again.

Police are searching for a masked man armed with a long gun in a wooded area near Arrowhead Elementary School in the 2300 block of Sansbury Road. SWAT and emergency response teams are also at the scene.

Real Alert or
Someone showing how poor security nationwide is?

I'm beginning to think that ANY post containing the word "school" now serves as grounds for holier-than-though homeschoolers to bash the rest of us that have our kids in public schools.

Not all homeschooling parents, mind you, just those who are so much better and smarter than the rest of us, and whom must post their belief on internet forums to maintain their feelings of superiority.

"Gunman reported inside school"

In PG County, this is pretty much SOP these days.

I saw that awful 'Elephant' movie was on HBO again last night, a film that glorified two teens who shot dozens of kids in their school.

Hollyweird's perfect prelude for a new school rampage.

[concerned about politics]

I would be worried sick if my kids were in a public school. I prefer to keep them safe at home. I know where they are and what they're learning. No baby killing, tree hugging, insane mass murderers, or homo fisting classes for my kids!!!
Things aren't like they used to be at school. The kids always used to come first. Today, they're liberal Guinea pigs, and they're being experimented on by raving mad liberal social scientists.

At least one school a day is on lockdown in the LAUSD.

Not that surprising from PG County.

The PG County schools are a mess. What's worse, in an effort to curry favor with the county, the brass at Andrews AFB merged their school into the county system. Embarrased by the performance of base school, the educrats decided to bus them all over the district. As a result, the parents in EM housing have to home school their kids or pay for private schools.

And some wonder why retention of experienced noncoms isn't all it could be.

I remember the Mohammed and Malvo snipers and the shootings they did at schools and thank God the police officer spotted him and scared him off. if this guy was just a hunter all he had to do was stop and identify himself. Why run to the school and attempt entry? Thank God too the doors were locked or this could have been very bad.

Hmmmmm ....

1. Wonder if there was a Muslim under that mask?

2. If so, what are his friends up to today?
