ADMIN
I totally get being afraid to run into raging gunfire, but it was at CHILDREN! Innocent, unarmed, trusting, and HELPLESS children who did as they were trained. Waited quietly, hidden and silent, for adults who did NOT follow their training.
Initially, a few children escaped through windows in the classroom, aided by a teacher trying to save them. She was shot to death immediately, as were the kids standing waiting to be pushed through. If those kids had NOT been taught to hide silently instead of running out the doors or windows, MANY of them may have made it out alive because the fmgunman wasn't going to chase them or open the door knowing police were outside.
They would have barricaded the open door between classrooms so everyone in the 2nd classroom could have lived. The ones in the first classroom probably wouldn't have survived, but they didnt anyway and neither did most of the other classroom.
When children follow THEIR training and the adults supposed to do the other part fail, WTF?? WE GET UVALDE. The WORST kind of totally senseless massacre of innocents imaginable.
Sandy Hook was another horrific massacre where mere babies were shot into pieces, LITERALLY, (the details are horrific!) but it was done on mere minutes, in one classroom, and police DID their jobs there. Aside of their chickensh*t "school officer" who hid instead of going inside upon the first shot and the alarms of an intruder going off when he was outside doing whatever he was doing.
The classrooms there all immediately locked down when the first shot was fired in the hallway, but the locks failed on the door of the room he finally got into after trying several.
He could have been taken down in the hallway by a smart officer listening for his whereabouts abd shooting him from behind. No discussion. No arresting him. Shot DEAD in the hallway and stopped from doing what he did.
