“If you saw someone methodically murdering children”
I’d use what ever weapon I had at hand to kill the scumbag. If that was my hands or my teeth, I’d use them. He’d probably kill me, but maybe it would give kids a chance to get the heck out of there.
Locking down and cowering in place seems like something for cotton-tailed rabbits, not humans. If there is no one to stop the maniac (e.g., an armed guard or teacher), then kids running to safety seems preferable to providing groups of kids for the slaughter. Maybe we ought to revisit this ‘roll up and play dead’ strategy for dealing with school shootings. As well as the silly ‘gun free zones’ which only apply to law-abiding citizens and not the locos.
I'm also hoping that schools will rethink the strategy of huddling children all together as they did in this situation. It just made it easier for the whackjob.
