The teachers care about the kids.

WTF

microbet · May 27, 2022, 4:32pm

Yeah, cop with AR15 pointed his gun right at my kid.

Marksman · May 27, 2022, 4:34pm

F this guy. Former cop who blames “us” for cops being feckless cowards.

Honestly, teachers having guns just puts more potential mass shooters in a school.

Sure, not all teachers but it only takes one with a gun to have a spitball fired at the back of their head while teaching algebra on a bad day and snap.

I think it’s more likely we’ll have kids getting the guns and accidentally shooting themselves/others.

NotBruceZ · May 27, 2022, 4:39pm

Maybe the police would do their job if they could be made to be afraid of being shot if they don’t engage a human who’s killing kids.

Are you fucking kidding me?

EDIT: Now that I think about it, you may have actually mentioned this before on this site. I probably was just as disgusted as I am now.

This is somewhat controversial and of course there is a lot of pushback from military, but historians have found that only like 15-20% of front line infantry in combat shoot at all.

Now it comes the school officer was not at his post. On-site commander said there was no longer a threat to kids so they waited.

microbet · May 27, 2022, 4:56pm

They had all the kids come out of the classrooms with their hands up like you see in these situations and they were pretending to direct the kids and find the shooter. They were all decked out in military gear. Obviously their guns were supposed to be unloaded, but so was Alec Baldwin’s.

Anyone have a direct source on this? Seen many tweets but no links

Only mentions that two kids called 911 - not the other details.

Mr. McCraw described the calls this way at a news conference Friday:

A caller identified — I will not say her name, but she was in room 112 — called 911 at 12:03. The duration of the call, was 1 minute and 23 seconds. She identified herself and whispered she’s in room 112.

At 12:10, she called back, in room 112, advised there are multiple dead.

At 12:13, again, she called on the phone.

Again at 12:16, she’s called back and said there was eight to nine students alive.

At 12:19, a 911 call was made, and another person in room 111 called. I will not say her name. She hung up when another student told her to hang up.

At 12:21, you could hear over the 911 call that three shots were fired.

At 12:36, a 911 call, it lasted for 21 seconds. The initial caller called back. The student-child called back, and was told to stay on the line and be very quiet. She told 911 that he shot the door.

At approximately 12:43 and 12:47, she asked 911 to please send the police now.

At 12:46, she said she not could not—— that she could hear the police next door.

At 12:50, shots are fired, they can be heard over the 911 call.

At 12:51, it’s very loud, and sounds like officers are moving children out of the room. At that time, the first child that called was outside before the call cuts off.

From the nytimes live feed. Just an absolutely inexcusable failure of Law Enforcement at every fucking level. They absolutely would have been getting radio information about these 911 calls from inside the room. They did nothing for 48 fucking minutes.

so that’s what “3%-ers” means

I received an email from an organization that will be bailing out protestors at the NRA convention. Hope it’s OK to share.

darth_brooks · May 27, 2022, 5:25pm

the girl that called and played dead gave interviews and the description of those interviews were given which match that story

LouisCyphre · May 27, 2022, 5:27pm

Don’t know if this accurate, would have assumed there are way more incidents
