TxRover Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 3 hours ago, ICTChris said: Bodycam footage of the police officer who killed a mass shooter in Allen, Texas a few months back. Overall, rated a textbook response by the Officer. There is the argument he should have driven, but the echoing gunfire made it very difficult to determine where the shooter was, so he ran toward where he first heard shots and followed the “trail”. Not sure how you mentally deal with having to run past shot adults and (especially) kids in order to try to save more people… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The seat belt mention got me thinking. Recently a city in Colorado had some drive where cops were ticketing anyone not wearing a seat belt. This was on the news and a high ranking officer was boasting how many lives they were saving by doing this. Yet no one tries to prevent mass shootings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual response from the pro-gun lobby to shootings is that there would have been less of a problem if "responsible" gun holders were there. Just what was needed ... more tooled-up jhuan-kerrs getting pissed and shouting "did you call my lass a pint" and "ma da' would shag your da' " before settling things like gentlemen with a reenactment of a cross between the Alamo and the Gunfight at the OK Corral. Eejits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just instal computer/radar/motion sensor controlled automatic machine guns in the younger sibling's bedroom to provide protection. Anything else is just an abdication of responsibility on the parents' part. Of course if the incident took place elsewhere just assign an AI/Terminator type guardian to guard everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't seem quite enough. Need a few metal detectors, and of course a prayer room, just to make sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prayer room is a must, obviously. Maybe a shrine to various gods too, just on the off chance that one of the other circa 18,000 gods is the "real" one. As well to cover the bases IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
