Trump Fading

[popeyespappy]

Actually Nutter active resistance during a mass shooting is considered a viable option by the experts.[...]

Even if that's true - so what? It's still one of the most unlikely situations for anyone to face. And even if somehow it was possible to train every kid to swarm an armed assailant - without scaring them out of going to school altogether - what is to stop deranged maniacs from adopting new strategies, like sniping people through the windows, or whatever?

Personally - I don't really care. I went to school in a country where school shootings did not happen. I never had to be trained in sacrificing my life, for the sake of everybody keeping their assault rifles. But it strikes me like putting the cart in front of a horse, to teach paranoia inducing stuff to kids in order to prevent - at best - 0.001% of casualties happening each year in USA alone. It's just like we were taught - back in the 80's - to hide underneath desks in case of nearby nuclear explosions. It's just more of the security theatre - and it's more damaging when aimed at kids...

So what is your condescending speech to Lek was uninformed. An no. I'm not a fan of Lek or Ben Carson, but that doesn't mean Lek needs to be berated for saying he would do the right thing. Chuck is right though in that he (Lek) might or might not be able to get his chair pulled out of his ass in time to react.
