“I’m in charge of a pile of kids,” Gover told The Oregonian.

In Beslan, the dead children (hundreds) WERE piled up.

Terrorists look for soft targets and too many liberals want our schools to remain so.

DeCastro added that arming teachers or having armed volunteers at the school are possible outcomes for the future.

If they do that and then have another unannounced drill where actors dressed as masked gunmen burst in shooting blanks, I suspect they'll have a couple dead actors on their hands.

Too bad none of the teachers had a heart attack and dropped dead on the spot, that would have been some good information for the sociopaths that thought this was a good idea.

I guess the notion of “intentional infliction of emotional distress” has gone the way of “fighting words” in our court system.

Too bad one of the teachers didn’t have a gun. She would have been in her rights to defend herself. So that would teach the school not to hold false drills without telling anyone!!

Yes, killing an agressor is justified. Too bad for the agressor that it was only a fake drill. They won’t make that mistake again!

It might be a bad idea to do this around someone well trained in unarmed combat, in addition to the general heart attack and stress risk.

Imagine if they tried that in Texas.

Sheep are completely helpless from predators but it doesn’t protect them.

Consider:

1) The next seven-year-old who points his finger at another kid on the playground and goes “bang!”

2) These guys who kicked in the door.

Who will get more punishment and be led to believe that they are a terrible person.

Absolutely! Morons. Had exactly that happen in my old outfit when some knucklehead supervisor pulled the same stunt one night, in an attempt to evaluate facility guard readiness. Got himself shot by a watch stander in the process.

If that was my high school, the m*********ers would end up with a chair, garbage can, 2 LCD projectors, and 4 dictionaries thrown at them and then end up stabbed with a pen.

That’s not something to hold a drill about.

That kind of stupidity is a good way to get someone very dead.

Now half of the teaching staff need time off work for counseling due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

That’s why they do it in a school. It would be dangerous if they were not in a gun free zone. They probably don’t have the courage to find out the hard way how many TX teachers carry.

They are forcing a lot on kids these days.

My wife was reading the “growing and changing” text book and was completely shocked. All there in gory details for the 5th graders to read and learn. You name it, everything.

Plus they stick the girls in with the boys.

The kids have been particularly difficult lately and during this sex ed “training.” It is obvious that the kids are having difficulty with it.

My wife is a teacher's aid.

They are very lucky to have not been shot by a CHL who was carrying in spite of the gun free zone law!!

You are so right.

Not only are the schools soft targets, schools offer ‘high value’ targets.

Unfortunately I believe this will be where the next attack occurs.

Teachers only realized it wasn’t a real shooting when none of them were bleeding.

Can't get anything past these smart teechurs. How wonderful they are in charge of our kids for such long hours.
