I was discussing with my wife, the situation in schools regarding the shooting. That they teach kids to duck and hide under desks should a shooting situation happen. Then they become ducks waiting to be slaughtered. I said, why not ask for volunteers to practice at rushing an attacker and try to take him down before a mass slaughter happens? All boys don't have to be sissies, some could work as a team to stop an assault. After all, some teachers acted bravely to shield students. If a large group rushed the attacker some would die but many could survive. If this sounds far-fetched, think about the three American heroes in the Eastwood movie about the train in Paris where they stopped a mass killer by rushing him while others cowered in fear.
There was also the school shooting where two friends(brothers?) who were on the wrestling team bravely rushed and took down the shooter thereby saving many lives.
I know it’s a shame to consider such actions as rushing a shooter, even for we adults. I gave that some thought as well, concerning those kids, because there was no other hope but to try.
If only those teachers had been carrying.
Lots of girls have Mace on their key ring, but that’s about it for inside a class room. Read recently that Wasp Spray is a sure deterrent. Desk Ducking as you said makes sitting ducks.
