The liberal version of “Duck and Cover”. Retarded.

“Stay put everyone! We need to wear the gunman out. As soon as he locates and kills enough of you, he might either run out of ammo or get tired and leave.”

I interpret most warnings to actually be saying “get the hell out of there fastest and bestest way possible “

Shelter in place = makes the bodies easier to count - I had never even heard of shelter in place until I moved out east. I was talking to a local pol one day, and that is what they said - should something happen, shelter in place so as to keep the bodies in an easy to manage/count situation.

More likely a Republican-hating atheist.

Cannot be a student shooter.

Too stupid to know how to use a gun.

Hunker down. Shelter in place. Do not try to engage the gunman. Run if you can. Turn cell phones to silent if hiding.

Impossible.

It’s illegal to do that, especially on a campus in Massachusetts.

With that description...probably a black male. He’s probably looking for an individual who he feels “dissed” him and he won’t be a threat to the students unless his bullets go wild.

Which school was it that was petitioning to have the campus police disarmed because they though it was “icky” to see the weapons?
