Lock down drills won't work - if a bunch of can welding students are out in the hallways slinging cans of food at an armed attacker with a shotgun, M4, pistol, or samurai sword....it doesn't hold up and is just plain stupid!
my wife told me about this...she's a public school teacher and we are in Indiana!
Heavy weapons ???
Maybe the large institutional size ???
To my mind if there can’t be one or more armed guards, then each classroom should have intercoms and heavy bullet resistant solid core doors with closeable viewing ports for the occupants.
Hillary Clinton says would we should have ‘empathy’ for our enemies(those who wish to do us harm).
Perhaps, yet another ‘touchy feely’ school program should be established in order for students to understand they live in an exploitative , racist nation, run by a greedy 1% and they somehow deserve to be shot by those acting out against this oppression.
-sarc-
If they're going to provide weapons at least give them some axe handles not cans of food.
"Oh, no, we don't want to arm the kids they might hit each other with the axe handles!"
Really? But they won't throw cans at each other?
At least here in IN adminstrators can be armed.
How long before someone comes up with a “can shooter” to launch those cans?
The next thing will be a video game, awarding points for hitting shooters with a can of peas.
It brings to mind the program to collect scrap metal for the war effort in WW2. No meaningful value to the war effort other than offering the illusion that one was contributing.
Perhaps the kiddies can break into the canned goods as an alternative to Michelle’s lunches.
This is the logic, or lack there of, of Obama supporters!!!
I’ve started giving my son a can of tuna fish to take to school every day. I told him that if no gunman have attacked the school by the last period, he is free to open the can and have a snack. /sarc
This story indicates we have already won the argument, the left admits that there needs to be weapons at the ready, the argument now is what type of weapons.
Of course canned goods are a joke, so we need to move the debate up a notch.
Whirled Peas is the solution to all forms of violence.
The left has chosen to oppose having police or armed guards in schools, because of their hatred for guns in the hands of non-violent law-abiding people.
They prefer to have kids killed rather than protect them.
This proposal is insane. The one who proposed it is not fit for the office he/she/it is in.
Proposing that children pick up cans of chile and fling them at a deranged attacker with an automatic weapon is insane.
Since they will need to carry these cans around the school (a can sitting in a desk is useless) someone could start manufacturing can holsters. Quick-draw holsters for tuna fish cans, shoulder holsters for 20 ounce Bush’s Baked Beans cans, maybe an ankle holster for your back-up can of peaches. Of course there’s the danger of kids challenging other kids to a show-down to decide who the fastest can in the school is, but that’s a risk the school is willing to take. After all, it’s for the children’s safety...
...the answer comes to you......loud and clear!
Maybe just a pile of sticks and stones...why waste the food? It is still like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Libs won’t get it until the bullet enters their brain, but then they won’t be able to see their error.
Well, it would finally be a good use for canned green peas.
What if the intruder is armed with a banana?.....or a pointy stick?
