---quickly signal large numbers of people about emergencies
Haven't these techies ever heard an air raid/civil defense siren? It would "geographically target" emergency notices and "quickly signal" EVERYONE about the emergency.
As in tornado alerts, prior training would have taught the populace to go inside, take shelter and stay there. They would know to turn to emergency radio, TV or internet sites for futher information.
Deploy the robots immediately.
They were inside. They stayed there. I'm not sure how many had the opportunity to take shelter.
The simple fact is, this happened far too quickly for many to take evasive (or defensive) measures. In fact, many who could have take defensive measures may not have because of current social acceptance of passive reaction.
If anyone was to overcome this, it would have been through immediate, overpowering, and cumulative physical response. Take the guy down; regardless of the cost. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
Gee, do you think he might be a salesman? What would he advise as part of his lockdown, imagining that such a thing could happen instantaneously? Unless the solitary shooter is outside, he's already among the sheep.
Now consider the Beslan scenario, where a seriously planned assault takes place. The lock down guarantees them hostage/victims, information technology not with standing.
Yeah, pity more student don't have Blackberries.
Information is critical, but less so than a mindset that refuses to be a victim and doesn't rely on Big Mommy to act. There needs to be some very seriou re-thinking of the whole security plan that seems to have pervaded the public school establishment. I can dream, can't I?
Australia calling:I want my rights back by LCBrendan (140 Views)
Over the last two days, the level of sickening hypocrisy and arrant stupidity of the media has reached depths of nausea that even I did not believe were possible
Chief of these, is a cry to ban all handguns.
This, if done, will leave all the guns in the hands of those who don’t give a rats *** for the laws being clamored for.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia
And a criminal brandishes a shotgun in our faces and robs us in broad daylight.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia
And we are carjacked at gunpoint.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia.
And as a bank employee, we are threatened with a gun as the bank is robbed.Or shot as we cower on the floor.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia.
And a woman is shot to death by a maniac, in a real estate agents office.
We do not have the right to keep and bear arms in Australia.
In the future, a lunatic who got his guns from an illegal dealer on the streets stalks through an office, slaughtering anyone he sees. I may be next, as he stands there laughing, and my last wish is that I had had a gun
to shoot him instead.
But yes, all bad guns are “bad” and we have lots of gun laws to keep us safe. The government will pass lots more, and ensure we are never allowed to have a gun.
If you have the nerve to defend yourself, expect to wind up in jail when the criminal sues you.
We keep telling ourselves how safe we are, thanks to all of those gun laws...until an armed home invasion gang smashes down the front door.
Don’t let them do this to you.
P-L-E-A-A-E!
A lo-tech Smith & Wesson in capable hands could have stopped the carnage far before 32......
How soon will the video game be out? I’m sure some leftist is working on it while we speak. Millions will be made, and DNC doners they will become.
There are big speaker arrays mounted on poles that could also serve, existing tech.
And the school had a speaker truck driving around when the second round started- they could have done that at 7 or 8- “Stay indoors, report anyone who does not belong or looks suspicious (like being spattered with blood and carrying a gun).
Security companies will all be sending out press releases about their scanner/alarm/x-ray/bad thought detector for months now.
I can’t remember how many people can pass through this protal, but they secure the Super Bowl, Emmy Awards and other events where hundreds per minute have to be scanned.
Also, I don’t sell their products, own stock or have any connection. I just stumbled on to them.
Semper Fi
Well air raid sirens wouldn’t cost enough for our times. This technology they are offering will cost millions. If you are driving to class, how in the world do you get an email or IM?
