Ahmed, The Terrorist

[10 point]

All of our local schools have upgraded their security. I now have to pass through a series of locked doors to get to the office. Ironically there are days when the students, who are the ones these measures were supposed to protect, will hold the doors open for me.

Security is only as good as it's training and implemented processes.
Too often the risks aren't taken seriously until it's too late. Home securities are worthless if you don't turn them on.
Unfortunately, that's how most learn. By pain.
The hard way.

Every where Ahmed goes he tells the same old story , yet no ones hears the whole story just his twisted version .
And how was his father able to run for president in Syria , twice , without leaving Texas ?

Adam Lanza encountered a locked front door at Sandy Hook. He simply blew it apart with his rifle and proceeded into the "gun free zone" where he knew he would encounter no effective resistance.

Locks and alarms and cameras are great if the goal is to FEEL safe. Armed teachers are necessary if the goal is to actually BE safe.

Home fires are not a rare occurrence. School shootings are.
You're 0 for 3.

School shootings apparently occur often enough that there are people who want to use them as justification for infringing upon our Second Amendment rights. If that be the case, then it also means they occur often enough to look for solutions (like armed teachers) that DONT infringe upon our Second Amendment rights.

You cant have it both ways.

That's my point, the calls for more gun control after shootings is just as ridiculous as the calls for more armed teachers. That's not having it both ways, it's not having it either way.

The day we arm our teachers is the day I pay to have my granddaughter home schooled.

I would be ok with armed teachers providing they weren't like some of the wackos I had in school.

I've heard they could do more damage with a 1 foot wooden ruler than any old tommy gun could.

I had an old gal for History in high school (public school) who was death with one of those things. She would make you hold out your hand and then smack you across the knuckles as hard as she could. Even though she was as old as History herself she had a good swing on her. I always heard the Nuns were worse.

Hubby had a nun come near and say "young man, give me that rubber band."....Then he made the mistake of throwing it to her instead of handing it to her. She got him in the knuckles real good. You can see him break out in sweat when he tells that story.

My grandpa is left handed. Still has marks on his hands from the nuns in grade school.

What difference does his being left handed have to do with it?

From anecdotal evidence, it would seem that Catholic religious orders are very violence prone group. Terrorists, one could say.

Being left handed was considered wrong.
