The Department of Homeland Security just posted a video called "Options for Consideration Active Shooter Training Video." Its grossly incompetent guidance on how to survive a workplace shooting underscores the Obama administration's total lack of fitness to tell citizens what kind of firearms they can own for self-protection. We should also make sure that as many police as possible see this DHS video, which portrays law enforcement professionals as incompetent buffoons who recklessly endanger their partners and innocent bystanders.
Duck and Cover versus Huddle like Sheep
The DHS video takes a cue from the much-maligned "Duck and Cover" film of the Cold War era by advising people to hide under desks, which would actually be the right thing to do upon seeing the flash of a nuclear bomb. The desk would block the bomb's heat, along with shards of imploded glass. If you were far enough from Ground Zero that the entire building did not collapse on you, you could easily walk away with minor or no injuries while everybody who did not "duck and cover" was ripped apart by flying glass and/or burned to death by the thermal effects. A nuclear bomb will not, however, walk into your school or workplace and look under desks for individual people to kill.
At 1:44 in the video, a woman hides under a desk and pulls a chair after her to conceal her. Note that for every person who agreed with this video, more than ten disapproved, and with good reason. All the shooter has to do is look under the desks to find the people who have followed DHS's advice to huddle there like sheep, and then slaughter them accordingly.

I’d have more confidence in the survival of our republic if, like the founding fathers, our current leaders had spent some time bound with a cable tow and half shod.
Wow. Talk about misunderstanding scripture! This has nothing to do with us. This was just Jesus fulfilling prophecy.
And if scripture does require me to be murdered by a psychopath, then I would rather sin and repent than go to heaven and be asked, “Why did you let your life and others be cut short when you had the means to stop him? I put you there for a reason.”
One of the reasons things are so messed up now is that too many people sat on the sidelines saying all the corruption was God's will.
>>No way will I sit by while my family is slaughtered.
Or even a complete stranger! I agree with you. We have too many people on the sidelines waiting for their “team” to score. Life is a participation sport and most Americans are spectators. This is why we lose elections. We just mail a check and expect our guy to win, while the Leftists are getting out the vote and lighting a fire under their people’s butts.
a hand full of Liberal blacks from the inner cities will go to their deaths—but only a small %. Most are streetwise enough to know that “the Man” isn’t speaking the truth. One thing to vote racist—another to become sheep for the slaughter.
I think that comment is right on target.
Right on the money. Anyone who might dare to resist is considered the enemy of the corrupt/criminals.
"If you can resist a criminal, you can resist a criminal government.
That’s what they don’t want."
The UN is full of countries that hate us. The only reason we haven’t been invaded is because of the American Citizens who excercise their right to keep and bear arms.
If the politicians and gun grabbers ever succeed in disarming Americans, they will be attacking us and hoping to occupy our land. They may discover that it is best to let “sleeping giants” sleep.
