The pricipal should run out their with the gun free zone sign and the shooter will kindly leave.
No, they should just quiver in fear and wait for the shooter to get around to them. Or maybe they could disarm him with some soothing James Taylor soft-folk songs. How about a group hug?
There is no higher honor in this world than to lay down your life for another
The school I work at has had A.L.I.C.E. training by the local sheriff’s office. Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. If there is an intruder/shooter the school is alerted and doors are locked. The school is informed of the intruder’s location. If he is no where near, you evacuate. If gets into the room with you, you counter him with whatever you have at hand. Hiding under a desk is just waiting to be killed. The men who countered the shooters died, but their sacrifice no doubt saved others. They are heroes and did the right thing.
More to the point: the godforsaken liberal schools should be bring in experts in combat to teach students THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS!!
No real American boy can sit there with his thumb up his ass as his friends are being killed.
Teach them how to overpower these murdering cowards and do whatever has to be done to stop the attack.
This ain’t no disco.
I heard half the students in that classroom were crying.
It’s a safe bet several of them were boys.
They were raised to be that way.
Let that all sink in.
"...it is only when contacts with authorities who are armed and trained, or escape or hiding, is not possible, when it really becomes a situation where intervention might be -IS- necessary...,"
Indeed, equivocation can be fatal.
My son is the starting middle linebacker on his high school’s football team and want’s to join the marines after school. I told him if something goes down at school that I would expect him to go down fighting if it came to that.
Run, hide, fight.
It’s cut down on the number of mass shooting deaths.
It’s a personal choice.
Should some “adult” stop them ?
Best to teach them just to be passive and give up? So NOT the American Way. The courageous ones will never buy it, but they will see their leaders as Beta Males.
Getting killed is a better option?????
Some men go to the sound of the shooting, some men run. May God bless those who go to the sound. They are the sheep dogs in a world full of wolves.
They should hide, like the Cowards of Broward, until either the shooter kills them or runs out of ammo killing their friends, DUH!!!
God-given natural right to life implies God-given duty to preserve and protect natural right to life. Use of force to preserve and protect natural rights is a perfect right.
Free the knife Rush the gun
Frank Zimring is a coward.
This is between a rock and a hard place. School administrators don’t ever want to tell students they should sacrifice themselves. That’s asking for a lawsuit in today’s crazy society.
But a good self-sacrificing Scout (in the old, sane sense) will usually get publicly lauded yet, even if posthumously.
Most certainly yes. Every class I had for the last 15 years I would instruct them on how to deal with an active shooter that entered our class. I attacked first and then Boys Follow with our 10 lb textbooks or chairs whatever they can get ahold of as a weapon and everyone else joins in. Overwhelm the shooter. I would explain to them the foolishness of cowering in a corner and waiting to die.
Depends if they want to live or not.
