He doesn't, as he thinks the teacher would've been able to know if it was locked from the inside, even though doors like that lock from the outside, not the inside: 1 hour ago, Hardcore troubadour said: When you run back in maybe you should check that it’s locked? Not fling it open and run. Did they remove the rock? I doubt it. Someone was shooting and they were terrified. If they stopped to remove the rock then they should have made sure it was secured.

Now about that open classroom. The one where all the killing took place. Locking mechanism broke on that on that one as well? https://www.npr.org/2022/05/31/1102316313/texas-uvalde-teacher-door-open-closed They have now determined that the teacher, who has not been identified, propped the door open with a rock, but then removed the rock and closed the door when she realized there was a shooter on campus, said Travis Considine, chief communications officer for the Texas Department of Public Safety. But, Considine said, the door did not lock. "We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock. We know that much and now investigators are looking into why it did not lock," Considine said. Investigators confirmed the detail through additional video footage reviewed since last Friday's news conference when authorities first said that the door had been left propped open Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,995 Posted June 1, 2022 10 hours ago, Baker Boy said: If you are correct, why do people put locks on doors in the first place? For general protection - a safeguard against prowlers, burglars, thieves looking for a quick and easy score. For that, locks serve a great purpose. But this kid was no prowler. He was armed to the 9s with 2 ARs, hundreds of rounds and a tactical vest. No door lock was keeping him out. Nor would it protect you from him if he came loaded down like that to your house and your door lock. 10 hours ago, Hardcore troubadour said: The classrooms that were locked had zero casualties. The killer went around until he found one open. If every door was locked there would have been less casualties. He would have been on the hunt, and then it would not have been a hostage situation, but a live shooter one. There are different approaches to those two situations. Not saying I agree with that, in a school. The playbook should have been thrown out. Adjust and adapt. Didn’t happen. It is being made to sound like the shooter would have just turned around and gone home if the back door was locked - that’s ludicrous. This kid was getting in that school one way or the other. Far as locked doors inside the school, good chance more kids are alive today if all doors were locked - but there’d still be bodies everywhere bcoz he was getting in a classroom one way or the other. But as long as we’re playing the ‘more kids alive if the doors were locked’ game - how about more kids alive if an 18-year old doesn’t have legal access to assault rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammo, more kids alive if armed officers aren’t standing around outside arguing with parents while their kids are being slaughtered inside, how about more kids alive if this gov. doesn’t pull $230m from the state budget for mental health treatment…Lock doors need to be part of the discussion, but they’re down my list of things/people to blame for this.

I’m not opposed to 18 year olds having nothing more than a hunting rifle. I’m more concerned with the lack of mental health institutions and the judges that won’t use that option. Yeah, the kid was determined to get in there. But the longer it took the better. Locked doors delay. Maybe not deny, but they do delay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,788 Posted June 1, 2022 You know Dave Chappelle does this a lot better. And I'll try to find the link in a minute. Maybe. But here's the thing. After 25 years of school shootings, the problem is this. All the f****** shooters have been through the same school shooting training as all the victims. So they know exactly how the victims are going to respond. Because maybe a week before? They were part of the training for an active shooter drill at genderflex elementary school. At this point, it's like giving the Japanese a helicopter lesson over Pearl harbor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because if she thought it worked, she would have propped it open. How else would she get back in? If she knew it didn’t work , and others also knew, then that’s a whole new aspect. So which is it?
