the blogger at freemendo.typepad.com has a new post up.
years ago (July 2007 IIRC) he wrote about lockdown.
lockdown: no No NO.
all the kids who ran like crazy at Beslan survived.
there actually was a scintilla of sense in that; it was
the same as old school tornado drills (where you’d have
about 30 seconds warning) it might protect from some
trauma (falling lights, windows)
However the nuke drill was mostly to demoralize
Thanks for sharing that.
I always figured it had a lot to do with maintaining control.
They didn't want 40 pumped up, half scared juvenilles running amok out of each classroom and into the halls.
here’s the correct date for the freemendo post
with another commennt about lockdown:
From the prolific author, Greg Perry (about eBay and sundry computer topics:
My bride, a former public school ... just told me this: Lockdown is nothing more than an attempt to keep collateral damage to a fixed number. Its their (failed) hope that the maximum number of students who will die will be the number locked inside the room or hall with the shooter.
from the Freemendo at Typepad blog 04 November 2007 Lockdown
Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown. No, no, no. When the terrorists began their assault at Beslan, around 40% of the students and staff ran like cuh-razy to get away from the school. A few hid in the boiler room. Every single one of those children and adults lived.
Thanks. That’s interesting.
Veterans TRIED to help but were stopped by ‘staff’???
Who is staffing these places? ex-marines? Kick their ass and go get the shooter
LOL “Onward, Christian soldiers.., “” but yours works, too.
Ah, Big Daddy, but turns out he is black (or half black), Son-of-Obama for sure! Why do you think it took so long for this to be known? Gotta give the panty-waist President time to politicize it before this fact is known. It seems he was a Jew Hater, Christian Hater. Worshipped all things Nazi, and likely muzzie leanings.
5 minutes is pretty fast.
That means he’s half white too. Everyone gets to take credit for him. The Hispanics and Asians get a pass this time.
Schools don’t teach lockdown anymore. At the school my wife works out they teach everyone to get the hell out.
I don’t believe this account. In a situation such as this staff loses all authority. Authority moves to the natural leaders of the group. How would staff stop them exactly? Threaten to give them a bad grade??
Also true of the half-black Muzzie-in-Chief who always has so much to say about these things. Please take your share of credit for him. Me not so much...I knew him for what an evil PONS he was when he first ran for the Senate. Said so too!
I thought so, too.
Five minutes? Excellent police response time, forever in a shooting.
