I have a California legal switch blade. The blade is 1 7/8 inches long. Hardly a knife at all.

I remember seeing a Wildest Police Videos where I guy robbed a liquor store with a gas weed whacker. I wouldn't want a weed whacker stuffed in my face or anywhere near my skin. Should we outlaw those, too?

You guys are quick to outlaw stuff. I'm telling you, all we need it a tracking bracelet so weed wackers only run if you are wearing them.

My gf. works in the neighboring school and those areas are terrible out there. I here constant stories from her about things happening. She has to stop multiple fist fights literally every single day, run her kids inside because of a shooting out in the parking lot. Knowing someone you care about is in there with those situations is terrifying.

This supposedly went on for FIVE MINUTES! And no one could stop him in FIVE FUCKING MINUTES!!! ??Jesus Christ WTF good are the teachers that were there???
I can guarantee you that little bastard would have eaten at least half of his teeth after I bashed his face in with a chair! I know there were plenty of those laying around.
And say what you want about losing the job over that action but in this case I wouldn't care if I couldn't get anything better than a job as a paper boy before this maniac gets at another student!
IMO every teacher that witnessed this happening and did nothing to at least try to stop it should lose their job!

Me and some buddies were talking about that. Back when I was in high school, that kid wouldn't have made it far before he got beat by a chair or something by a group of students. Have you seen a picture of him? He's like 5'7", 120lb. You could breath in his direction and knock him over.

There will be some that will make the "good thing it wasn't a gun" argument to support gun control...I say hog wash...it just goes to show that people intent on hurting a lot of people will use the most effective tool available to them...and more government (more laws) won't solve the problem...take away guns, then they use knives...take away knives then they use hammers...take away hammers then they use crow bars...and on and on.

The school and state are given 'charge' of the students while they are on campus. We call it charge. Several different bodies are in place to protect them, but teachers are not trained to properly protect students or know what to do in most emergency situations. Campus and District security guards are to be called for all fights or other acts of physical aggression.

When I took my CPR AED course, they told us to call the office before you even check on the student if an emergency happens inside the classroom. You do not touch the student except to turn them on their side to keep them from aspirating if they are convulsing or having a seizure. The only emergency we don't call the office for is an active shooter on campus. If there is an active shooter, we call 9-911 and tell them what school we are at. We then lock the doors and keep everyone inside until an All Clear signal is given, which we don't know what that sounds like. We don't even open the door for anyone identifying themselves as police, law enforcement, FBI, etc. We have to wait for an announcement over the system or a phone call to unlock the door. In college, we were told to keep a 5 gallon bucket in the classroom for this situation, seriously....

If anyone was ever trying to harm any of my students, whether they are my favorite or least favorite student, I would do anything I could to stop it. Most of my fellow teachers think this way, too.

Where is Lostboy? Surely he needs to be condemning this violence. I suspect double standards. Laughing

And for all you gun guys, were there weapons shortages at the army base where the shootings happened? I got the impression from you guys the more guns the safer people would be - especially trained people. (and before I get accused of making fun of people getting killed, I notice several people here seem to think school kids being stabbed is a cause for amusement).

And talking of amusement - " Gun's aren't designed to kill, per se" Laughing Laughing Laughing post of the decade!!!

PalerBlue can I ask you a serious question? Do guns make you want to kill people?

To be truthful, nothing does. Plenty of things annoy me but I can't forsee a situation where killing somebody would be an option.
I realise that there are people for whom killing people is an option on the solution list. For many of these people guns are a convenient tool. Does that help?

P.S. Paleblue is still good. The extra 'r' is an unfortunate technicality.

If this is addressed to me, you need to read to read previous posts a little more thoroughly. A bit of a stretch for you?

The military bases (fort hood) are a gun free zone...with the exception of official training exercises.

Yep.
There are tight restrictions on carrying loaded weapons on that base.
Typically,the only time you see people carrying loaded firearms(Duty weapons) in the urban environments on that base is when they are carried by the the military police.That's who responded to the situation. It was a female MP that fired a shot at him and then he turned the gun on himself - lights-out.

However,in other areas you will see guys coming back from live fire training drills ect. armed.
Now,in an area like that... I dont believe he would have got off a lot of shots and been able to move around as swiftly as he did.Well,unless he was a highly trained elite bad-ass & wearing body armor.

Sorry , I have been outside doing stuff now that the weather is warm so I will have to catch up. Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on this ?? If it was a Black kid they would all be blaming whitey !! and I don't condemn violence.........I think Violence is the answer. Contrary to popular belief on military bases they don't all walk around carrying guns, more people on the streets are armed than on base.

I doubt it. The kid just ran down the hall slashing people. Doesn't seem like enough time to really do much. There is also the chance that in trying to shoot the kid the teach could have shot another kid. The SRO is who cuffed him, but he did stab a security guard.
