Incompetence, cowardice and malfeasance is universal and has no geo-limiting component. <br /><br />Ellifritz adds: <i>"It’s clear from this article that the cops and the school staff will not effectively protect the children. Your kids are on their own."</i><br /><br />So are the rest of us no matter where we are.

What do you have against alligators...@HMS Defiant,<br /><br />What do you have against alligators?<br /><br />Not that I disagree with your sentiments, but the "no duty to protect" idea has been Supreme Court precedent for a long time; I first ran into it at least 20 years ago. I happen to think that an argument could be made the IN THIS CASE it should be set aside, as the Police Department had accepted duties that ran counter to it, but the idea isn't new and startling.<br /><br />In general, the Parkland shooting is the perfect argument AGAINST gun control; it modeled perfectly the situation the Gun Controllers want to make the norm. The State was the only holder of legal weapons. The State was trusted to make judgements about who was dangerous to the public and guard the children thereby, and the State stomped on its own dong with cleats. <br /><br />The Second Amendment exists because, by its very nature, the State is incompetent to deal with minor threats. The State is always more concerned with maintaining the appearance of peace and order to actually make the kind of early decisions that might support peace and order. It is bad at judgement, nuance, and initiative. It is good at massed brute force, which is why it does OK at simple tasks like clobbering large numbers of Germans when they get uppity. (also, the history of privatizing the military is a scary one).<br /><br />The answer to Gun Control is "That might be a good idea if the State were effective and trustworthy. It isn't."C. S. P.

The civil suits filed by parents were tossed out of court and again there is no harm, no foul.

Also this throws the narrative off about you subjects don't need any stinkin guns because the police are only a phone call away to save the day with their guns. Never mind that the courts time and time again affirm that the police are under no obligation to protect anyone. (This is why I think there has been no repercussions about how the police botched this, there can't be any.) As per usual the media is at least culpable in this by the disinformation they pass out, but folks just don't want to hear the truth either. I'm not one to be on a lot of conspiracy theories but between this one and the Vegas shooting it sure could give openings for those to come about. If you took this event and tried to make a movie out of it no one would belief this many things and people were totally incompetent and criminally liable.

Therefore, people died to maintain the politically correct narrative.Steve Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626594557764599205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-48946577148613761232018-12-31T13:33:23.751-06:002018-12-31T13:33:23.751-06:00Insane, out-of-control SON!!!!
