President Trump would have ran into the school to save the children even without a weapon

  • Sober, correct, just laying down is usually the safest option. Sooner or later the psychopath will run out of ammunition.

    And as to your last paragraph Yes, a lot of people would probably think that they could do something to help. If they do something there might be a very small chance if they don't there would beat zero chance. This whole load of garbage is just because someone makes fun of the president for saying that he would have wanted to run in and help. I would guess many of you guys would feel the same way. From you gungho super soldiers to the draft Dodgers to the medical deferment gang on the board.

    Now, Steve, I know you read better than that.

    If you are safe, stay safe.  Barricade yourself in.  If you have the chance to head for a door, take the chance and live.  If you come around the corner and there he is, then freaking attack with anything you can.  Hide. Run. Fight.

    But, whatever you do, by all means encourage a bunch of idiots to run in off the street and take on an AR-15 with a rock or piece of chalk, maybe a yard stick.  

    Trump could jump up onto the Resolute Desk and drop a steaming dump and you'd say: "What? That smell is left over from Obama."

    Also, you have a defective empathy mechanism.  Cal too.  Just an observation....

  • I work in education.  Anyone actually had the training? I have. Couple different kinds actually: hide, fight, run, etc. 

    Well-intentioned or not, what he is saying goes directly against training.  That's my issue.

    Ask the custodian at Virginia Tech.  Wait, you can't.  He's dead.  He heard shots and ran upstairs right into the line of fire. Rest in peace.

    As for fighting. Let's take a peek into the bathroom at Sandy Hook.  The killer has two groups cornered.  Each group has a teacher and students.  The one teacher pushes the students and they all break for the door.   The other huddles with students in the corner.  The ones who made the break lived.  The others did not.  Rest in peace. There are different ways of fighting back...

    I hear you all though.  We all want to think that we could make a difference.  I distinctly remember after one training, one of the maintenance fellas asked, "so, what do we do when we run in to intervene?"  The trainer said: "I just told you not to do that."

    I've gotta tell you I don't give a fu¢k what your trainer says. I'm at Sandy Hook? I attempt to stop it even if I personally die because I'd rather be dead than know I, a grown man, cowered in a closet while six year olds are getting murdered.

    Great for him and all involved.  Seriously.  Sometimes it is best to attack as I said.

    Fair enough.

    Let's play that out.  He shoots you next.  Now all the six-year olds are left to their own devices with no adult leadership to try to save them. They all die too.

    Exactly what did you accomplish then if its ultimately supposed to be about the kids? 

    Perhaps you should have barricaded in your room with as many students as you could grab.  Perhaps you should have led them to safety out a side door or window when the chance presented itself.

    Discretion is the better part of valor.  That is the reason for the training. To give you a chance to think it out beforehand so that you don't instinctively go Rambo when you should be considering all your alternatives.

    That said...if you get the chance like the coach in the example above, hit with everything you got and may God Bless You. Sometimes that is truly the only option.

    I'm not a teacher. So they're no worse off then they were if I get shot trying to save them and if it bought them any time to escape it's a win.

    Again, fair enough.  The custodian at VATECH was not a teacher either and did exactly as you say.

    So, following that model, what if you buy them no time and get mown down immediately like him?

    Not a win, just another casualty. No effect, just one more dead person.

  • Then I can die without regret knowing that I did what I could to try and save kids. What you are saying reeks of cowardice to me. I've had a good life. I'm only 38 now not as old as some of the posters here but old enough to have experienced everything kids are getting robbed of if they get shot down by a maniac.

    Training by who? don't help kids being murdered? WTF ? who trained you? the coward of broward? Every situation is different. There is no training that fits all. Look at Broward. My ccw instructor was 4 1/2 years as a special forces weapons expert. I talked about wanting to take an advanced ccw class or two - he teaches them now. I asked him about Sandy Hook - he said how do you outrun bullets? Hide from a murdered too close with nowhere to hide?

        The problem is gun free zones. A murderer knows he has a free zone to murder with no danger to himself. Sick stuff.

        Seriously - the kids who DID hide, died? That is your trainer's training?

  • I can assure you that no one knows how they will react in a situation like this.  I've seen big muscular guys freeze up in combat and small skinny guys show no fear.  It's a flight or fight that happens in an instant.

    Who cares what you "think"? 

    The training that I had broke down the major mass killings point by point, death by death, as they happened, examining the blueprints of the buildings involved and the timing of the arrival of security forces as it happened.

    We considered each action by the killers and victims and problematized them so that we could keep ourselves and each other alive. We actually barricaded ourselves in a room that had serious security flaws and armed ourselves with anything we could to plan our counterattack if necessary. We ran a scenario where we encountered the killer and hit him with, well, wiffle balls, pretending they were heavier objects

    Your fantasies were not included.  Go figure. The first thing they said was not "run down the hall and impale yourself on a bullet." Again, go figure.

    You He-Men are ridiculous.  The only thing to do is run in and die like Daddy Trump says.  Save 'em all or die, just like your moral absolutism (look that up if you have to).

    My trainers were real men who had been there, not pathetic keyboard heroes addicted to whining...like yourself.
