Another High School shooting - MD

The title said MD..........but thats St.Marys......a whole other type'o place, that thar countee.

 

Any word about the kid that went on a stabbing spree at a school in Pa today. 21 injured.

 

Impossible that would be illegal for him to possess.

 

Correction, the stabbing in Pa happened last year, he was just sentenced.

 

Probation and have to write a letter of apology for not feeding the anti-gun lobby?

 

I'd argue he did feed the anti gun lobby - 21 stabbed and no fatalities...

 

So he sucks at everything.

 

I was thinking the same thing. And to add, he was in a "gun free zone." The whole thing was doubly impossible.

Except as Mongo pointed out, it's statistically unnecessary.

"School resource officers" were a kneejerk reaction to Columbine. the result isn't safer schools, it's that kids are getting arrested for shit that used to result in a couple of detentions. Weed in your car? arrested. get into a fight? arrested. spit in the teacher's coffee? arrested.

I'm all for holding kids accountable for their bad behavior and/or violation of school rules, but SROs have made the administrators lazy. Rather than dealing with anything internally, they call Joe Resource Officer and make him do it. Yes, he comes in handy the .0000000001% off the time there's a shooter at the school, but schools and school campuses are pretty large buildings. The odds of the SRO being right then when shit hits the fan are low.

I'm glad this MD officer was close by and able to step in, but more resource officers won't magically have the effect people seem to assume.

 

few knee jerk reactions ever do.

 

The headline should be "School shooter stopped by armed guard."

 

Has any helicopter parent ever sued the cops that arrested Little Johnny or Sweet Jane for being fuckheads?

How many school districts have been sued because some school employee dared lay a hand on their precious snowflake?

Fuck parents, fuck lawyers, put a cop at every fucking door and let assholery have consequences.

 

Yup, also Columbine had a SRO or deputy on campus.

 

I never attended a school that had a cop there. The few times it was necessary to have someone arrested they called the cops like everyone else.
The adults there just didn't put up with any shit from the students.
If it were necessary to have cops stationed where you work to protect employees from one another, would you consider that a well-run place of business?
