RE: My thoughts on the Shooting at South Florida High School #Parkland

in #news7 years ago (edited)

It's impossible to stop these incidents completely, but the primary objective should be to not give a predator with a gun 1.5 hours to murder. That's how long it too the police to arrest him. That's a VERY long time to walk around murdering people. People need to stop depending on government services to protect them. They have to protect themselves. If a teacher wants to be armed, they should be allowed to be armed. The same goes for adults on college campuses whether they are staff or teachers. Then predators like this are stopped very quickly.

Sort:  

1.5 hours? That's fucking insanity. I had a teacher in high school that kept his pistol in his bag. Or at least that's what he told us.

Yeah, at Columbine I was enraged when I saw cops hiding behind firetrucks. The simple truth is most cops just don't care about your life or your child's. They are not going to risk their lives for them.

I like the solution in your bio, "Stop playing or watching the part of a hero, and be one instead."

I'm armed every day and would step in, give my life if necessary, to defend the defenseless. Liberty, individual liberty, is worth any price to me, and I believe a person's honor is far more important than one's life. I don't welcome death either, but dying in battle defending what I love? I'd die with a smile on my face. :)
