In a normal country an open door would not cost 21 humans their lives within minutes.

In a deranged society where guns matter more than people I guess it could though.[/quote]

It's stupid to blame the open door for this.

Did you know in other countries they don't lock doors? And they also don't have active shooter drills.

My child was raised in America and I was mortified that starting the age of 5 she had to practice to hide from people to shoot her.  How is this normalized in our society?
She grew up with a notion that she may be shot at any minute.   How is this normal?!!  [/quote]

What? Without an open door it would have been more difficult to obtain entry to the school. In other words, obtaining entry would have taken time he didn’t really have after crashing the truck a losing the element of surprise. Not impossible, but still more difficult and potentially allowing the school to take some lockdown measures and exposing him to discovery by law enforcement. Police were on scene while he remained in the parking lot and a locked entrances would have been ideal for taking him down. He had no training or discipline and was in panic mode, shooting rounds randomly at those who witnessed the crash and the school. I have no doubt the teacher will suffer guilt for years to come but there are reasons for safety protocols. And I’m sorry their need to get a phone trumped training snd common sense, particularly if the school had been tied to a conspiracy to commit murder in recent years. [/quote]

Oh, so you missed the part where he was wandering around outside the school, shooting at witnesses and the building, for TWELVE MINUTES after crashing the truck? He had all the time in the world.

Which is why I am skeptical of this propping the door open story. When I’m the timeline is that supposed to have occurred? Did the teacher exit the building to get her phone while someone was shooting a gun outside? Did the teacher exit the school, hear gunshots, and then run away without warning anyone? Or were they back inside and forgot to close the door?

I’m guessing that unless a teacher comes forward to say this happened we will learn that it was just speculation and either the door was regularly unlocked, or he shot through it, or something like that. [/quote]

There seems to be security camera footage that provides the basis for the tick-tock. You know hiding behind a car while the SRO drive past. How many officers entered the school, where and when. [/quote]
