Yes, its seems since Columbine in what, 1998 is the Genesis.  

My parents in school had cold war, nuculear bomb drills in school.  My generation did not, all I remember is hurricane or tornado drills.  My kids have freaking active shooter in the school drills.  Crazy and defintley only the past 20 years thing. 

Chappelle absolutely nails this.

I hope they practice closing and double checking the locked doors.

They do, it's called a school lockdown.  I don't know everything that goes into it but once a year they do it.  

Oh, you're trying to deflect the thread again on something stupid and cause a flame war then later cry about it.   :sigh:

I love me some Chappelle and that is funny.

However the drills are more for the staff and administraion.  At my kids school once a year they have the drill.  They "lockdown" the school, all the students either stay or go to their classroom and the teachers shut their door which has a locking mechanism called a RHINO lock.  Pretty much a metal rod attached to bottom of door that is locked into the ground.  There are other protocols.  It's not a huge production or anything, but they do it once a year.  There is also one school protective agent on duty.   More or less a security guard but I feel better than him or nothing.  

Either way, locked doors, cameras, somebody on watch are the easy fixes.  We send billions of dollars abroud, it can be done.  Invest in America.

And we can raise the age of gun purchase to 21 or some other 'smaller' gun control measures.  

We'll never stop it all, but we can contain and mitigate best we can all while keeping our rights as free people.

I absolutely agree. No one step is going to fix everything. But just like with terrorism, a series of small steps can mitigate risk and impact.

This is an education issue? I thought it was a safety and security issue. Seeing as it is, teachers can start with a cup of stfu and do as they are  told. Many don’t.

We do them 2-3 times a year. They call them ALICE drills. The acronym is "Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate." It isn't a list of things you do in order but more an idea of you do whatever is best for your classroom given the proximity to the shooter. Additionally, the outside doors are checked during this drill by the facilities team and our SRO. As a teacher if you lockdown- you lock the door (mine is always locked with a magnet in the door frame- so if a shooter was coming I just remove the magnet), barricade the door up, and the local fire department cut up old fire hoses so each room has a foot long section of hose to put over the door top hinge which makes the door all but impossible to open.

The thinking being- in all the training we are taught that most school shootings last less than 7 minutes as the shooter is trying to do the maximum amount of damage in the smallest amount of time. And if they are hung up on trying to get into rooms you are protecting your class and hopefully delaying him enough for cops to arrive and get into the building.

That latter part is what makes the hour long time frame from Texas so frustrating.

Don’t prop open doors. Happens all the time. Our kids lives are at stake. Walk around you lazy  slobs. Also, teachers need to start dressing appropriately. I see teachers wearing shorts. WTF? Project a better image so when the time comes you’ll be taken seriously.  Dons don’t wear shorts.

I’ve seen it too.  You are not wrong.  
I don’t know what all happened in Texas as the stories change but people prop open locked doors all the time.  Maybe this makes those that do to stop.  One small step going forward.

That was your take away. Don't prop open doors (which I didn't say I did) and dress better.

Yes, dress better. You shouldn’t be wearing the same thing as the students.

[Gepetto 1,384]

We went to casual dress code at work in the office.  I wore shorts to work today.  We don't interact with customers so whatever, I'm going to wear shorts.  It's acceptable in the new dress code.

Exactly. I want teachers to be respected, and not just by the students. If I went to parent teacher conference and I saw shorts, , nose rings, sleeve tattoos etc. I’d be pissed.

The AWB grandfathered in AWs that were already in circulation, so you wouldn’t expect more than a slight decrease in mass shootings over a 10 year period. Mass shootings also more than doubled after the AWB expired. 

My point, if I have one, is what people call "assault weapons". 
It's a media made up term that many gravitate towards because their definition of it sounds sinister, if you will. 

An AR-15 doesn't stand for "Assault Rifle-15"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15_style_rifle
I'm sure you're aware of that..I know you're not a dummy like...well...not to name names, but mebbe a few in our crowd here.   It has become a generic term for all that is evil in our society as far as guns our concerned. 

Please just don't use the term "Assault Rifle" anymore when referencing  semi auto rifles. 
Or do...Doesn't matter that much to myself (even though it does)

Also...My AC just went out in my house and I'm gonna have to pay around 20k to get it replaced this coming tuesday

You are to some degree but I get it. You definitely still see some teachers (mostly older ones) wearing dress shirts and ties all week long. I pretty much stay with polo shirts and khakis all week.

But I also absolutely see some female teachers who get away with the yoga pants with a blouse over top which is a bit under dressed to me but whatever.

I’ll go ahead and wait for the video to confirm any reports from the dopes down there. But don’t prop the doors open.  Capisce?

Agree, don't prop doors open.  But video confirms it wasn't propped open.

It was never even a thought there would be a school shooting at my school in the late 90s.  Even after Columbine we never really thought much of it.  My senior year was 00/01 and we would leave school campus all the time during school and no teachers noticed.  Things have changed a lot.

This is what happens when you make cops gun shy. What happens if they storm the room and one cop hits a kid who is close to the gunman? 

Prison time and defund the police.

And holy hell if it was a black kid. 

Who knows though. It's a lose-lose situation.
