I'm just wondering, how would this have been spun if one of the teachers drew a sidearm and responded appropriately? Probably with the media crucifying said teacher for the loss of life that would have resulted. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Who could possibly think staging a fake shooting without informing the participants is a good idea?

Didn't another school do something like this?

A teacher wouldn't of even needed a firearm for something like this. There are many possible weapons all over a classroom. Things could of gotten bad real quick.

Hell, imagine the liability if someone badly injured themselves evading or went into cardiac arrest. Idiots.

FTFY.

If unarmed, I think the proper reaction, once you suspected the shots weren't real, would be to charge one of the "gunman" and just beat him mercilessly until somebody stopped you. That might point out the stupidity of such a stunt.

How many teachers said things that couldn't be published or that didn't fit the authority-is-good narrative.

This was not just standard stupid, this was pure extract of stupidity, refined and purified to 99.999 % pure.

Little danger of that. Remember this is a nation that consists largely of meek wusses. Only a small percentage has the mean gene and the will to survive...

This kind of "drill" BS happens every once in a while. Nothing ever comes of it.

I guess also no regard for the fact that A) Blanks can kill people at close range and B) hearing damage...

Can you imagine if someone in the room had the sense of mind to full-body-overhead-fling a chair at the intruders, and follow up with a charge and a beating?

A fella can dream, can't he?

While back my county wanted to do a no-notice "active shooter" drill

They decided to announce it after getting flooded with letters from folks like me telling them how stupid it was.

I wonder if that happened, if there would be charges filed against the person defending him/herself.

These people are going to get absolutely *expletive deleted*ed over by someone when they come across that ONE person whose fight-or-flight response is hardwired into "fight" mode.

yep.
Nothing like getting a Dixon HB #2 shoved up to the lovely embossed lettering and snapped off in a guys eye socket to ruin a day. there are folks out there who are just plain dangerous to mess with.

I know but the problem is generally though those people aren't teaching school.

Remember the teachers/school administrators are the crowd that wrings their hands and goes "violence isn't the answer" even as they are getting slaughtered by an active shooter.

Several times in class discussions about what to do about a school shooting I raised the point of "Fight back like a wolverine on crack and you have a much better chance of coming out alive" and everybody else, every. single. time. looked at me like I had three heads. Several times similar "drills" to this have happened over the past several years and not once has anybody reacted with force.

The drive to survive just isn't there for most people...

How did you know to send them a letter if there was no notice

Fitz · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2013, 06:30:49 PM »

Because they announced that a drill was gonna take place but they kept the day and time and location secret

I vaguely remember reading that something just like that happened a number of years back when they had an unannounced "exercise" that involved someone coming in and taking some high school students "hostage" . . . at some point the ersatz "bad guy" got clobbered by a student with a baseball bat or some other blunt object. Big stink ensued.

The one I'm thinking of was a church. (But, IIRC, it was a Sunday school class that they pretended to kidnap.)

griz · « **Reply #22 on:** May 06, 2013, 08:03:37 AM »

I've heard of exercises where they were practicing response or something like that. But what was the goal here? Anybody with two neurons to rub together can imagine the victims would be scared. What could they possibly hope to learn by barging in and shooting people?

That's even stupider than normal. They are essentially telling an entire community "There is going to be a shooter coming in sometime soon, but don't worry, it won't be real."

Maybe in between their diversity and self esteem classes they never heard the tale about the boy who cried wolf . . .
