I think they should train and arm the maintenance crew.
“...arm the maintenance crew...”
As long as there are at LEAST two armed people there, people who have demonstrated proficiency and know how to handle firearms, then the probability of a massacre such as occurred goes dramatically down.
If the ability to interdict the shooter - and stop him/her either BEFORE they are able to shoot, or immediately after, is present, the body count potential goes down.
Otherwise, it’s fluff. Locked-down doors, alarms, huddling together in one location - just makes it easier to locate and massacre.
Our children are forced to be in these places by state diktat - and they currently are defenseless there. And when this crap happens, as if the horror of it isn’t enough, we get the liberal Blood Dance immediately screaming to ban guns, like that will ever stop anything.
They didn’t even wait 24 hours after Sandy Hook. The kooks were coming out of the woodwork within a few hours of it.
Parents should start demanding an unobtrusive armed presence in the schools. Retired cops, security guards, armed teachers, volunteer parents, whatever. Someone should be there - preferably with backup - able to stop a shooter in his tracks.
The First Responder is ALWAYS the man on the scene at the moment it happens, and this is where it needs to be met - head-on, at the moment.
Maybe have a local LEO program - so that the faces of the armed people are KNOWN to the local responding cops (the SECOND responders), and they don’t mistake them for the active shooter.
There ARE simple solutions to this - people just have to be sane and rational - and UNEMOTIONAL - enough to understand that this is the only way to stop a potential slaughter.
We’re a long way from rational and sane right now, thanks to leftard indoctrination about guns.
It’s about time to take BACK the discussion and the debate.
