Many school and SO's districts lack the funding to place a deputy in each school and as our Sheriff Steve Whidden has so correctly stated, what happens if the SRO being uniformed is the first person shot, then what. Much better to place well trained and vetted, armed concealed carry holders, in the school, that way should someone attack a school they have no idea who is carrying and who will be shooting back. By the way the Sheriff got around the Florida law that prohibits citizen concealed carry in schools by deputizing the volunteers, deputies are allowed to carry in schools open or concealed.
I think we should just arm all kids. Get them concealed carry permits and send them to school armed. It will save lots of money by not having to have security guards or armed teachers.
It seems you think there must be an arrest for this to be a problem. NRA cultists making death threats on children is disgusting
Local pols and school administrators that leave schools unprotected clearly do not care much about protecting school children, so they must have higher priorities. You have apparently concluded that they must actually "hate children". You may be right. Can you support your own conclusion?
Why do you think local politicians and school officials refuse to have armed police in schools? You suggest that they hate children. What makes you think that?
Because they leave them unprotected. And anyone who let's them off the hook must also hate children. You disagree?
How many times do our secret police/spy agency chiefs have to be caught lying before the MSM stops citing them as credible sources? “The passage of more than three years hasn’t cooled the insistence in certain quarters that Clapper face charges for an admittedly false statement to Congress in March 2013, when he responded, “No, sir" and "not wittingly” to a question about whether the National Security Agency was collecting “any type of data at all” on millions of Americans. About three months after making that claim, documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed the answer was untruthful and that the NSA was in fact collecting in bulk domestic call records, along with various internet communications.” US NEWS, The outgoing spy chief needs to be punished for lying, his critics say, By Steven Nelson, Nov. 17, 2016. https://www.usnews.com/news/article...esume-calls-for-james-clapper-perjury-charges Do they have to be indicted convicted and locked up to knock off their Big Lie act?
Now that everyone knows that schools are targets those without ample armed security should be closed.
Professional police departments have proved that alone they are very ineffective crime fighters. There will never be enough of them to put much of a dent in crime. But there is no shortage of retired people with police an military training who would volunteer to sit at a card table on every floor of every school ready to react instantly to any attack. Cost: card table, decks of card, coffee maker, school lunch (optional).
It would be if: 1. there was actually an NRA cult. 2. There were actually any death threats. 3. The death threats had any connection with the NRA. Some proof would be good. When the police investigate these things they usually find proof of a crime rather quickly.
So far you have supplied no proof that the people responsible for consigning children to unprotected schools actually hate children. But I have an open mind. Can I see your evidence? Surely there is another explanation. But I do agree with you about hiring cops if they can.
I offered that as an opinion. No one can look into their soul. You are free to form your own opinions
That would be every school in my state. My state by the way has never had a death from a school shooting. My state by the way has over 50% gun ownership.
