I just took the mandatory “active shooter” course. I skimmed the material and then picked the answers I figured “they” would tell me were correct, no matter how stupid they were, and passed with flying colors.
I confess it did make me think about stuff I hadn’t thought about before.
A CD snapped in half leaves two sharp edges on either end that would slice a throat with minimal effort, and with a banned pistol grip holder to boot. They come 50 rounds to a magazine. Only good for up close and personal bleed-outs though.
This made me think of the training we received as shool aged children.
Teacher: “Students, if a nuclear bomb goes off, get under your desks and close your eyes. Ok, now lets practice that...”
You might be surprised to know that there are FReepers who believe that its our Godly duty to died like sheep and that defending ones self and family will send you to Hell. I just got an FReep-mail from one.
These would be tyrants do not know the heart and soul of Americans. We are not going to be lined up and sent to the camps and gas chambers. This aint Nazi Germany. We are not going to let a minority of Liberal jerks pull their games. We will not be lead like sheep to the slaughter—we could crash the system first. Want to see real Terror? Americans invented it! From the Swamp Fox to the Sheeted KKK, we know more about Terror than any Arab has ever thought about. You don’t want to unleash the dark side of America.

I wish you were kidding, but stupidity is so common in our comfortable consumer society, that I believe you.
But I have known quite a few liberal Christians who think that way. They point to ancient martyrs who died rather than fight the power of Rome or renounce their faith and compare that to dying at the hands of one criminal. They seem to think that dying for Christ is equivalent to dying because some psycho thinks he’s a god.

I said almost the same thing to some friends a few weeks ago. They are types I call “foolish right wing” because they believe that winning a presidential election will somehow reverse the destruction caused by 30 years of the RepubliCrat party.
They were shocked to hear it and one of them said that I scared them. When the S really HTF, there aren’t that many of us who get it enough to be ready to fight on Day One. The rest will be herded towards the death camps as they wait for the cavalry to ride to their rescue—not realizing that THEY were supposed to be the cavalry.
I suppose a would be shooter would never watch this video as a training film?
You sure? These days it seems to me that all you need do is dangle an Obamaphone or a pack of Yaz in front of most of us and we'll follow you into the maw of Hell itself.
“My mama always told me your best tools were your hands.”
She wasn’t into making chicken soup Eh?

Why would they want to? Looking under desks for cowering victims is common sense. This video is designed for complacent idiots who have never considered taking responsibility for their own safety, and its just a placebo to make them think that they can defend themselves with a letter opener so they don’t start demanding to arm themselves at work with a real weapon.
You should share it with us.
It is my deeply held belief that the only thing that will pull our beloved country back from the brink is the sight of a few elected officials hanging from lamp posts. Sad to say, but spewing rhetoric about “from my cold dead hands” is just so much hot air. Were a few of the most egregious offenders against the U S Constitution to be lynched during their town hall meetings in their districts, the renewed “fear of the Lord God Jehovah and the Continental Congress” might have a salutary effect on their surviving colleagues voting patterns.
Darn, now I’m back on that list for speaking my mind.
