Gamma Posted May 16, 2018 at 06:05 PM Share Posted May 16, 2018 at 06:05 PM Security just added to the "gun violence". They needed a counselor there to calm him down instead of an armed man. What an outrage. It's a miracle the armed security didn't kill dozens of students with their high power assault-magazine loaded pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoresident Posted May 16, 2018 at 06:16 PM Share Posted May 16, 2018 at 06:16 PM Man, talk about timing. The best part of the good guy with a gun stories like this is we can actually cheer on the outcome. Unlike those other stories where there is no good guy with a gun and the left cheers on the body count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blck10th Posted May 16, 2018 at 11:04 PM Share Posted May 16, 2018 at 11:04 PM The real question is why is the school door unlocked? The system for entry in many schools seems far to easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twostarrz Posted May 16, 2018 at 11:09 PM Share Posted May 16, 2018 at 11:09 PM I can say that while both schools that my children attend keep their doors locked, all I do is push the button and say I’m there to pick up blah blah blah... then the door buzzes open. I can see that it would be relatively easy to walk in during class hours and I believe the doors unlock during passing periods. I see people use the outdoor short cut during that time.

Quiet Observer Posted May 17, 2018 at 12:06 AM Share Posted May 17, 2018 at 12:06 AM A resource officer at Dixon High School shot a gunman, a former student, in the gym this morning, after the gunman had shot at him. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-dixon-school-shooting-20180516-story.html Why are they called resource officers, instead of police or security? Years ago, libraries in schools were renamed "Resource Centers". It sounds like they are arming school librarians now. Maybe they are more reliable than teachers. Don't mess with Marian the librarian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted May 17, 2018 at 05:07 AM Share Posted May 17, 2018 at 05:07 AM Why are they called resource officers, instead of police or security? "School resource officer" Because people aren't people. They're resources. This is an officer assigned as a school resource. I'd like to say "Welcome to the new millennium," but "Personnel Departments" became "Departments of Human Resources" back in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's handgun was a .38 revolver from what I heard.Pointing out that "semi automatic" is the new buzzword. They've finally learned how rediculous "feature bans" are so they've pivoted the dialog to "semi auto" and capacity. I mean this was a recommended article from this morninghttp://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-kel-tec-pmr-30-the-most-deadly-handgun-the-planet-25857 Really? The Keltec PMR 30 THE deadliest handgun? The IDF use 22lr (slightly less powerful then 22 wmr) for "less then lethal" purposes The Ruger [10/22] is used by the IDF for Killing dogs in the vicinity of a targetInjuring leaders of violent demonstrations or violent participants of a violent demonstration.The IDF uses it as a mid-range system that is less lethal than military caliber rifles (5.56mm/7.62mm) and capable of hurting severely enough to stop them using committing violence (throwing rocks or molotov cocktails).Can be used more accuracy at distances, unlike a rubber bullet or baton round.It is used when it is not safe enough to get close enough to use a rubber bullet or baton round.
