Look, I’m not going to get into a long, drawn-out, back and forth with you trying to convince you of the truth. Occam’s razor aside, you can believe whatever nonsense you want to believe. In this case, you believe because the gunman said “these are blanks, this is a drill” that he was speaking the truth? He also said “kill all the little fags” as he was shooting, does that mean that all the kids on the playground are homosexual? No, it means he is a lunatic!
Then you ask why he would plead not-guilty after being caught red-handed? Perhaps not-guilty by reason of insanity? Ask any lawyer, almost everyone always pleads not-guilty at arraignment, regardless if they change their plea before trial.
You asked about drills, how often the last one was done. All our schools drill multiple times per year, and have done 3-in-1 drills specifically before, practicing going into lockdown for an intruder on campus. Our schools have done ‘surprise’ drills before with police cooperation and observation.
As soon as the gunman jumped the fence and pulled out the gun, the children started running into classrooms. I don’t know how many were injured with scrapes and such in the process, but the two girls were discovered to have the gunshot wounds in the classroom where about 70 kids ended up, and the teacher then notified the office of that fact. Perhaps that’s why the original report said only scrapes and bruises. The fact is that two children were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
There were a lot of lessons learned by staff on that day, and the district is already in the process of implementing changes to emergency procedures that our schools will implement. That actually happens every year, after our participation in the state-wide drill that is coming up soon. We debrief, and see what procedures might be tweaked to create the best outcomes. We certainly will have to revise some of our assumptions and procedures based on the what just happened.
I did notice that the author of that blog article, Culhavoc, mentioned thanking ‘starviego’ for contributing research. Are you that person, and is that why you seem to be so invested in advancing this conspiracy theory? Believe me, I know the people involved here personally. This was NO drill.
“Our schools have done ‘surprise’ drills before with police cooperation and observation.”
Do these ‘surprise’ drills include someone who plays the role of a shooter? If so who do they choose for the role? A police officer? Also you sidestepped my question as to when the most recent drill occurred. Can you get a bit more specific?
And yes, I am ‘starviego.’
