Unfortunately, this IS the kind of “government security” the liberals crave. Their government, their government (unions) employees and dues, their government pensions, and ... like at Columbine, the government takes over, but takes no responsibility for their errors. Like forcing the kids who are holding a tourniquet tight to “evacuate” ... thus letting the shot teacher bleed out on the floor. But the police telling them to leave was “just following the orders to evacuate” Not thinking - an action the liberals CANNOT tolerate.
The liberal-socialists want ALL GUNS outlawed. This is just a step. And - when citizens cannot have guns, the liberal socialist communist government will have this guy with the gun. Outside the showers. Outside the railroad car.
Why? Because he expected one of his officers to actually do his job?
He either had a car or a golf cart.
He wouldn’t be on foot
My guess he was cowering close hy
Sounds like a real prison.
Not directing this at you, but it seems that there is little discussion yet about how the school and legal system responded or did not respond prior to and during the incident. Were their hands tied by some law or regulation, or incompetence, or some other factors? Reports list how many times the perp was in trouble with school or the law, yet nothing was attempted to intervene for the potential safety of others or his own. I believe cultural factors also need to be discussed including the pervasiveness of violent movies and video games to our youth. After all, if BJ Clinton went after a “cartoon character” Joe Camel as a reality in inducing young people to smoke, why would not desensitizing young people through virtual reality and entertainment not do the same?
> Squared off, the property is 1400’ by 1400’. That’s hardly huge. It’s the size of my apartment complex.....And I can see 1400 feet down the road from my unit.
1400’x1400’ = 1.96 million sq.ft. = 45 acres.
They said it was 45 acres. They were right.
Imagine a world where, "Black Lives Matter" and "Pigs in a Blanket, Fry Like Bacon!" and you are a cop, in liberal Broward Co. near retirement.
The kid is in his mid 50s.
This is more wrong from the national media: They are burying the lede: He is RETIRING with a taxpayer funded lifetime pension. For a bald faced act of COWARDICE. And the national media isnt mentioning it. This should be THE LEDE!!!
The coach didn't. But he wasn't "allowed" to be armed, so all he could do was be a human shield.
It takes the steam out of relying totally on the police to protect you.
“Really, I think the only thing that will protect our kids is if we engage in a massive rebuilding campaign where our school buildings have to be enclosed in ONE BUILDING with secure front entrance and guarded safety exits.”
So schools can just repurpose the architectural plans used in any big city county jail, big concrete boxes with 4 inch slit windows, nice.
ping
Three quarters is parking and athletic fields
“I guess this guy wasnt ex military or LEO?”
He was LEO. Deputy Sheriff, I think.
Puts new teeth into the saying, “When seconds count, police are only minutes away” — six minutes, to be exact.
They were on site at Columbine quickly but sat on their hands waiting on swat or whatever
Cops today are often jacked cowards
Far different than my youth
“Can’t be sued for not acting on this.”
Reminds me of the song: “Nice work if you can get it it.” A cop who doesn’t have to protect citizens. Sheesh.
You need to read more on it dear
He patrolled in an ez go
The buildings are only a few acres themselves
Most Is parking and athletic fields and woods
