That they were stopped by freaking admin types means they couldn’t secure the communications (every body has a freaking Cell phone) all they need was access to Command Center or whoever was running the show. Denied that and Permission (ie Lockdown) their AOO was whatever room they were in.
Prayers for the Casualties and special Prayers for the Vets that again have been denied to be the Sheepdogs that they are. Their mission in life is to protect the Sheep from the Wolf and once again Government PC BS sides with the Wolf.
(I know that not every Vet is a Sheepdog but they Know the Sheepdogs duties, they can and have carried them out)
After Action Review, Lessons Learned (If LE even Cares) should include encouraging Veterans that are Students to go on Ride Alongs and learn about the local LE and introduce themselves to as many local LE’s as possible, a little name recognition goes a long way, maybe the next time they will accept the assistance when offered.
Rant Off
1. No teacher/administrator would have stopped me from heading to the sound of gunfire.
2. My kids all had standing orders that if there was a lockdown in school they were to bolt past any teachers and get out to a pre-arranged location where I would meet them. We would deal with any consequences later.
