“The right way by hardening the target.”
Recess? Football games? School bus stops?
If someone just wants to kill people before they are killed themselves, what prevents them from walking up and shooting 20 people standing in a line?
I think the depressing truth is that a determined, suicidal killer who wants to kill strangers is very hard to stop.
True enough but hardening the greater target has become a necessity. No more shooting fish in a barrel.
Same could be done with waiting screening lines @ TSA. Much damage and lives could be taken . . . but the screening is a good deterrent so far except in what one incident in Belgium and then the killer in Ft. Lauderdale who got his gun out of his checked bag and shot the place up. Probably other exceptions but those two come to mind.
And recess . . . my kids are just turned 21 and 24 and they didn’t have recess since at least 2nd grade.
Nobody talks anymore about the Sutherland Springs, Texas, church massacre. While schools are the most prominent target, these mass slaughters have happened in other places too.
I don’t recall details offhand, and have to get to work now, but there was an attack at a shopping mall in Minnesota, another attack at a mall in Omaha, Nebraska, area, off the top of my head. How can we harden other soft targets?
