Who has their phone on anything but silent anymore? I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve heard a cell phone ring. None of my high school or young adult kids have had their ringer on for years, if ever.
So two random teachers/school employees are offered up on the daily to do what, exactly, if a student comes through this detection system with a gun? Ask them to hand it over? Attempt to take it from them? Teachers should not be expected to handle an armed student for goodness sakes, unless of...
And lock an armed student into his classroom with an entire class of students and the teacher? I guess that would theoretically keep the carnage contained to that one classroom… but I’m not sure locking down knowing the gunman is likely already inside is the most helpful first step. I’m actually...
I’m sure we could install metal detectors, thought even just doing that would be a huge undertaking (finances aside, just the sheer scope of the project given the number of schools). But what then? Someone has to man these metal detectors. Who does what when the metal detector goes off? Where do...
Disagree it could be done “fairly easily”. There are so, so many more schools than there are courthouses or airports. Each major city has one, maybe two, airports. Most towns across America don’t have an airport to secure at all and one or two courthouses. That’s entirely different than the...
This is an easy one to answer. Anyone could get a gun into a school any day of the week. We don’t like that fact, but it’s a fact. Unless every single entrance is equipped with metal detectors, anyone could put a handgun in a backpack or fanny pack or jacket pocket, etc. An AR can be broken down...
How far do we take this? Baseball bats, candlesticks, lamps, etc could all be used to whack someone in the head. Do we expect parents to rid their homes of all objects that could be used to hurt someone? That’s not really possible IMO.
Guns, however, are different. They absolutely could be...
Really? I won’t at all, especially with such egregious glaring warning signs being outright ignored. I don’t agree that all parents should be charged criminally just because their child shoots people at school. There definitely needs to be evidence supporting the charges. But this case appears...
My first thought was only 2 counts of murder to preserve 2 more victims for a second trial if he’s found NG of murder for the first 2. There’s no double jeopardy attached if they don’t try him on murder charges for all 4 victims.
We could theoretically secure the actual buildings, however I’m afraid that would simply move the shootings to the outdoor spaces of schools, i.e. parking lots, front walkways, exit pathways, playgrounds, etc.
I do think solutions will be like Swiss cheese with no one or two or even ten...
IMO, she was thinking she didn’t want NG on the charges. If she didn’t ask, KR could be tried again for the same charges. Obviously there was no way that all jurors agreed to find her guilty of only some of the charges. How do I know this? Let’s say they ALL agreed she was guilty of...
Perhaps subconsciously they realize that if they don’t support the <derogatory nicknames are not allowed - member meant the Alberts>, et al, there will absolutely never be any justice for their son/brother. If Karen doesn’t go down for this, it’s extremely unlikely anyone will. The...
