Yet another school shooting in America

Trump calls the armed guard a "coward". Classy

[Transient]

Well, so did the police chief.

[Eraser]

The numbers actually speak against the whole notion of "good guy with a gun":

The FBI’s analysis of active shooters between 2000 and 2013 has another relevant data point: “Law enforcement suffered casualties in 21 (46.7%) of the 45 incidents where they engaged the shooter to end the threat.” These are people trained to do this kind of thing full time, and nearly half were wounded or killed.

[Captain]

A whole nation of mentally-ill fat retards zipping around on their mobility scooters just itching for a chance to use their weapons on people.

I think it's time to wall off America from the rest of the world.

To be fair, It was kind of his job to be a bullet sponge for the kids. He signed up for that shit, then bailed. So yeah, Coward.

[Transient]

I agree. I just don't think calling him out is classless.

[shaft]

I do. Especially since Trump had 5 draft deferments during Vietnam and walked around with private security his entire life.


I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been in a life or death situation of storming into a hailstorm of AR-15 bullets should be in any position to point fingers. Maybe he thought he could, maybe he has kids of his own. All the training in the world and your mind could fuck you in the moment of truth. Let the people who have been there call him a coward.

Fair, Ive only had to duck from pistol fire a couple of times in my life. I also didnt hero up and try and return fire (wasnt my beef anyways, also wasnt at my literal house, but hey stray gunshots and all that).

I still think hes a coward if he signed up for it and bailed. He let those kids down and its unfortunate he signed up for something he clearly wasnt ready for.

I wouldnt be able to. I know that. But I also wouldnt sign up for it.

[Eraser]

Did he sign up to defend the school against a lunatic with an AR-15 or did he sign up to pull spoiled teenagers off of each other when one of em started a fight?

[MKJ]

He was armed so he signed up for more than kids giving each other wedgies.

[Eraser]

Considering this is America, I wouldn't surprised if they'd give a playground guard a gun.

[Doombrain]

Apparently there were four armed responders and none of them entered the school. Winner winner chicken dinner.

[Transient]

A bunch of companies like Hertz, Delta and American Airlines are cutting ties with the NRA, and Bank of America might cut off future loans.

After the "First" school shootings they placed "Armed officers" to respond to that kind of thing, Yes. They have done nothing more than bother brown kids for minor bullshit.

Not a single shooting has been stopped by them. Its the literal job they signed up for.

[scared?]

If I would have been there, I would have simply waited for the dumbo to reload and then railed the bitch... IMPRESSIVE!...

In most cases security n shit are just meant to be a deterrent.

That said some of the kids reacted to the situation by helping others whilst this dude has been portrayed has hiding in the closet with Mr Cruise. Either way it flies in the face of NRA recommendations.

15 year old braced a door open (PROTECTING HIS FELLOW HUMANS) and took 5 fucking bullets or something

Armed Police hid like a bitch. Took zero bullets, and now retires with pension.

"Officer Mallcop, your job is to send a message, that's all. If someone doesn't get the message, then it's not your fault. You did all you could, now step aside. Also, health and safety."

FYI, there appears to be another side to this story.

Excuses.

A shooter, isnt going to stay outside when class is in session. Its all excuses because he didnt wanna get shot by a kid.

Coward.

[YourGrandpa]

Nothing like having a very strong second-hand opinion.

[SOAPboy]

Yeah, What can I say. A 15 year old kid held a door closed with an active shooter pumping rounds into it to save his fellow humans. The armed cop with an AR who could have saved those kids, did jack shit.

Not hard to have an opinion on the matter.

[Eraser]

In this case I'm with Gramps. It's unclear (to us) what happened and what information the cop had. The cop may be lying through is teeth or he might've actually done this and it might be a very logical series of choices. I reserve my judgment and won't be so quick to call someone in such circumstances a coward.

[YourGrandpa]

You mean you don't want to keep spouting a biased opinion like it's fact?
