Was the shooter (not going to mention his name because that is what he wanted) rang into the schoolhouse or did he blast his way in through a window? The supposed facts of the story change on an hourly basis it seems.
Just for the sake of my point, let's assume that someone on the school staff rang him in. From what I understand, there was a fairly new security (video) system installed that would have allowed the person or persons with the authority to "ring in" various people during the course of the school day - i.e. teachers, delivery people, maintenance, parents, etc. etc. etc.
What did the shooter use for a reason that he should be allowed into the building that housed the classrooms of small children in a "GUN FREE ZONE? What possible business could he have that would have seemed reasonable to the staff member that allowed him to enter? Were metal detectors part of the new security system? If not, why not, as they can be turned on and off at will if there might be any suspicion at all about the person at your front door.
Has anyone asked the "surviving" Nurse and Secretary if they in fact allowed him to enter and if so, what was their reasoning?
I live in a secured building and I can't tell you how many times over the years I have had to reeducate my neighbors about the policy of our building, which is that nobody comes into our building that is not known to the tenant or does not have a key or code to enter. So many times I have had them say that they didn't want to say anything, even when they were followed in by a complete stranger before the secure door was closed and locked behind them upon entry or exit. They have said that they did not want to offend anyone by questioning what their business was and tell them that they needed to stay in the outer area until allowed in by a tenant.
Although luckily, there has been little crime committed in our building over the years, the criminal acts that did happen were usually traced back to the illegal trespassing of perps that were allowed to enter because the tenant was too PC or too nervous to question them, or got the midnight call that someone had forgot their key and asked if they could ring them in. I am shocked at how many people let these strangers in without any knowledge as to who they are and what their intentions are.
I guess my point is that you can have all the security in the world, but it is meaningless if your neighbors or in this case coworkers fail to follow the policy put forth to make the system work.
Anyways, just rambling and hope some of you can comment on the issue.
As most of us know - Guns, Knives, baseball bats, etc. are not the problem. CRAZY PEOPLE, PC INTIMIDATED PEOPLE, STUPID PEOPLE, AND MOST OF THE LEFT AND THE RINO #SS KISSERS ARE THE PROBLEM!!
Got that off my chest - Now back to my coffee. :-)
Hi Kris - sorry that you object to my use of the word shooter, but I thought it was clear in my post that I was referring to that specific shooter. Kinda like if you read a story about a guy in a car running over an innocent pedestrian and it said that the Driver was Drunk. That would not imply that all of us that are Drivers (even active Drivers) are Drunks or drive Drunk. At least I wouldn’t take it that way.
Merry Christmas Santa :-)
“I wonder who Obama sent to manage this in CT?”
Sen.Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) was on every station giving interviews early Saturday Morning - I believe the first was Wolf Blitzer who interviewed him and Blumnethal said it was the bushmaster, Wolf tried to correct him and Blumenthal insisted it was the bushmaster.
What I want to know is what happen to the security guard?
I heard several times when they were talking about the new security features the school had implemented a couple of weeks ago, that there was now an armed security guard at the school.
Or was this another MSM ‘mistake’?
That’s pretty much what I suspected. It’s usually a Democrat Senator that’s the go-to person for this sort of stuff - an obvious example is Mary Landrieu and the effort to blame George W. Bush for numerous failings related to the Hurricane Katrina federal response (which in fact didn’t lack in any measurable way). She led Kathleen Blanco around by the nose.
Where is the video? I worked in a school office. When the buzz in security system was set up, cameras were added. We could see all entrances and each hallway. They were continuously recorded to a computer hard drive. So once again where is the video?
