Conn. School Shooting

[Glocktogo]

The old paradigms are being replaced. New protocols call for people to run, hide, fight. Obviously 5 year olds can't fight. If you can't get them out, you have to hide them. Unfortunately, elementary school classrooms have very little in the way of hiding places. I'd have to think that reengineering new classrooms and retrofitting old classrooms with hardened and reinforced doors to keep active shooters out will become the norm.

Obviously we need to begin allowing trained and qualified school employees to carry concealed firearms is needed. Sadly, emotions run high where children are concerned and that most likely will not happen.

Today is not the day for government conspiracies, talk of gun bans, or other talk.

Start a thread tomorrow but leave this day to mourn the kids

I'm with you

 

[Hobbes]

Me too. How someone can look a 5 year old child in the face and pull the trigger is incomprehensible to me. My prayers to everyone.

Insanity or cold hearted evil incarnate is all I can figure.

It's senseless to anyone that doesn't fall into one of those two categories.

I want to go to hell to meet these scumbags.

I want to pull guard duty at all schools, theatres, malls.

I want people to fight back.

I dont want to lose the right to protect myself, my family or your family.

My mind is racing for solutions. This day is sad.

It sounds like the goofy son of a ***** shot himself - as usual.

Cedar Creek - retired in August after 39 years as a teacher/coach/bus driver/counselor/administrator & very tired of this kind of ********.

Why You Shouldn’t Engage an Active Shooter And What to Do If You Do

While that piece has a few items of merit, it also has inaccuracies. Perhaps a dissection of active shooter response is needed, but as Bulbboy stated, perhaps this isn't the thread or the day to do it.
