A Pennsylvania school district is arming classrooms with buckets of rocks as a last-ditch defense against mass shooters.
David Helsel, superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District in Schuylkill County, told ABC News on Friday that every elementary, middle and high school classroom in the district is stocked with a 5-gallon bucket full of river stones for students and teachers to pelt an armed intruder.
“We’ve been trying to be proactive just in case,” Mr. Helsel said. “How can you aim a gun if you’re being pelted with rocks?”

I’m going to show them how to strike one against the other to produce a sharp edge. That’ll evolve them 10,000 years right in one fell swoop.
I’ll see how they handle that first and then maybe show them the atlatl next month.

Better than nothing I guess.
Although, swinging a chair, ball bat, desk, or any other makeshift weapon is better than nothing.
In that kimd of situation, facing certain death, you really don’t have anything to lose, so it comes down to a battle of attrition, and anything goes.

Actually, not a bad idea. I would not want to have 30 people throwing rocks at me. No way to defend yourself, and one stone to the head could be the end of the assault - just ask David and Goliath.
