These shooters know that shooting up schools with provide a very high bodycount. The kids sit all day in tiny areas with no way out.....like shooting ducks in a barrel. They also know shooting kids gets biggest headlines. the younger the kids the better. They also learned a movie theatre is a good target because people are enclosed in a small area with no way out also.
I’m shocked that terrorists haven’t taken advantage of the flismy security at schools. a skinny ugly looking male was able to kill almost 30 people in a few minutes. Imagine what a 6 or 7 islamic terrorist with a well planned operation could accomplish? they could probably wipe out the whole school and they wouldn’t need any bombs.
Don’t give them any ideas.
seriously.
I suspect they'll be watching with great interest as to what kind of security precautions tend to be laid out at schools as a result of what happened Friday. They'll make their adjustments, then stage attacks. I suspect there'll be several across the country.
Your post reminded me of what I posted Saturday ..
Obviously we can all recognize that these shooting are happening at what are called, “gun free zones”, otherwise known as (very) soft targets. In the 90s, it was kids who were supposedly being bullied. Now it is people with so called mental disorders. There is another group that is furiously taking notes on all of this. There are people in this world, that have as their sole reason for living, having an opportunity to kill Americans. I guarantee that there are people, today, in Iran and other moslem countries that are looking very closely at what happened yesterday. They see how easy it was for one single shooter to massacre dozens of people, most of whom were children. Our children are the targets that moslem extremists want the most. I’m sure that they can just imagine that if one person can do this much, what a well trained squad of just 4 or 5 jihadists can do. I teach in an elementary school. There are several times during the year that the entire school of 800+ kids, not even counting all of the staff, are grouped together in the gym for assemblies. A gym that has 3 exits. I imagine that this is pretty standard in most schools. Imagine how easy it would be for terrorists, even a small group of only 4 or 5, to inflict carnage on an absolutely imaginable scale. There is not a gun control law in the world that would do any good in such a situation. At my school all doors are locked at all times, but they all have just a crash bar on the inside to allow exit. Kids are constantly letting in people through side doors. Not a day goes by that I don’t have to escort people to the office that have come in through the side doors. There just isn’t enough funding to make every school become Fort Knox. The Beslan School Massacre is exactly what jihadists want to bring to our shores. I fear that incidents like what happened yesterday will only serve to embolden those who wish to perpetrate that evil even more.
“wouldn’t need any bombs”
But it would be easier with bombs, wouldn’t it? Our mass killers have a variety of killing methods available.
Agreed. I’ve wondered this. Especially our “yellow school buses”. Kids are sitting ducks and you don’t even need to be near a school. An easy simultaneous attack would be devastating...
remember chechnya ?
