When I Was In NYC.

[bullet08]

We had fully armed police officers patrolling the school hallway. In my highschool, we had metal detectors at the front entrance, and no other way to get in or get out of the school.

With all the money this government is wasting on foreign aids to the countries bad mouthing our country, I'm sure they can find a way to keep our students more safe.

Another school shooting. Another tragedy. Forget about other things. Do what we can now, not later, to stop this now! Put cops in school now!

If the school is so bad that it needs armed guards maybe we just should stop with the public schools already...

There's barely any learning going on up there anyway.

Not worth the risk... and the biggest risk is that they'll indoctrinate your children into beliefs that are not your own.

If I had school age children there's no chance in hell they'd be in a "public" school. Not just for this reason, but for a whole laundry list of them.

That said, if you want to address the problem, they don't need cops stationed there. It should just be mandatory for all teachers, and all other adult school employees, to take firearms training and be armed at all times...IMO. If someone isn't capable, or responsible enough to do that then they shouldn't be working in a school.

True. But like that's ever going to happen like gun control they are crying about.

Until somebody with more than a half a brain decides school is a place for learning, and not a place for political brainwashing, we still need a safe place for the kids to at least count to 20, never mind spelling their names.

Quickest solution is to keep police officers in school. Of course with number of officers we have now, it might take a bit of time. But should be faster than another options we have.

Just sick of all these school shootings.

Maybe that is the solution given the circumstances.

Seems to me like they're training these kids for the prisons that many will eventually wind up in.

Gun control is mostly illegal in the U.S, that doesn't mean certain governments won't try to do it though.

I'm all for separation of school and state.

Exactly.

When was the last time you were at a public school? I wouldn't trust most of those teachers with a gun. Not even a butter knife.

There are good teachers, caring teachers. Most aren't worth much. I seriously doubt they want guns to start with. Most police officers are ready to go now.

 

[BingBong]

That's a boy lost the critical difference between reality and video game shit. I can think of no other explanation.

Which is a perfect example of why I wouldn't want my kids there.

Millions of kids on psychotropic drugs and playing high-tech, violent video games...it's one giant MK-Ultra experiment.

It's a fact that nearly all of these school shooters have been on psych drugs.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Yep. They give 'em pills that carry a warning about suicidal and homicdal "thoughts and actions."

Suicide/Murder pills...

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

To make matters worse there's been a 35% increase in perscriptions in the past 6 years.

Also a 64% increase in kids taking them since the corona virus.

Has it felt like people are getting crazier by the day, lately?

That's a failure in parents' part. Instead of being in kid's life, shoving med down their throat and neglecting them. They needs to be more active in their kids' life. More interaction with kid's shrink to understand what the med does. When to switch. Notice when the shrink is a psycho.

Still doesn't address school shootings. Yes there will be some crazies slipping through the crack, but we need something to prevent mass casualty.

My kids are out of highschool. They in colleges. There has been shootings at their school. I'm worried. But not like when they were in highschool. Preventions, and warnings are much better. Campus cops are more reactive. Buildings are more separated. Better chance of escaping shooting incidents.

Damned K - 12 is like shooting a fish in a barrel.

 

[kcghost]

It is a real problem, no doubt. Teachers packing guns isn't the solution to me because of the pressure they are under just teaching I'd just feel better if they weren't packing. Between the people who say guns are bad and those who says guns don't kill its people who kill people you have a hopeless deadlock position.

The pills are a cop out for half assed parents that won’t do their job. All this ADHD and other sensitivities kids have these days is crap and a real parent would’ve disciplined any of these bs inclinations out at a young age. But parents would rather trust their big pharma shill doctors than their own instinct on what is right and wrong.

 

[georged]

Once upon a time---like back when I was in school---the cop-to-citizen ratio was higher, prosecutors and judges didn't fuck around, there was no manufactured shortage of jails and prisons, and states had mental hospitals of two kinds: non-violent mental illness, and institutions for the criminally insane.

Was it safer? Dramatically so. Hell, high school kids often carried rifles in their cars & trucks on school grounds, and (with permission) firearms were occasionally brought into the school for show-and-tell sessions and general instruction. No one was stressed in the slightest about it. It was business as usual.

WHY was behavior so much better? Kids were raised by parents who understood that BEHAVIOR was EVERYTHING, and proper behavior was the difference between having a good life, and one spent in misery behind bars.

They---the kids---looked around, realized that their parents were telling them the truth, and got with the program.

It's really that simple.

 

[JOHN72]

I am sorry to hear about the shooting. Prayers for the families of the victims. You could say, that guns, in the hands of mentally disturbed people, people with problems that you don't detect with the naked eye. They are a real danger, now, how do you detect that in millions of users. Remember the young pilot who crashed the plane into a mountain, in France, if I remember correctly. Andreas Lubitz intentionally crashed a plane with 149 people on board. March 24 marks six years since the tragedy of Germanwings flight 9525, in which a German pilot killed 149 people when he crashed the plane in the Alps. This guy had mental problems, he was a ticking time bomb. In short, to give a gun license, there should be some stricter control, more effective. There must be some way to improve this serious problem.

I agree, parents of disturbed kids need to be prosecuted when the Kill Mom posters and antisocial weapons show up in thier bedroom.

Funny, I just had that thought reading this thread. Today, I’m taking a break from this forum.
