I did not say I could do better. However I'm not one to hide in my home and pray the bad man goes away. I don't yet have children so I only have my girlfriend and self to worry about. I'll admit having kids to worry about would change things. Closing schools is still a bad idea. A better response would be to increase school security. Put volunteers(armed) on the outside of the school when kids are coming and going. This may help.

OK, I'm no counter-insurgency expert but I have a little tip for the tactically challenged. EXTEND THE PERIMETER Guards at entrances are nothing but targets. Patrol any woods. Keep vehicles away. It is not that difficult.

As a mother of young school kids....I hope it never comes to that, thinking about my kids in a school with armed guards standing on the outside...I sometimes wonder is this really AMERICA we're talking about???

ON 9/11 I went to the schools to get my kids, it was too close to home, and my husband just escaped it.... police were guarding all our schools....and very tense. The whole thing was surreal

If this turns out to be middle eastern murderers I don't think the rage will ever end ....I am so ready to take back this country from these bastards.
