[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically, this kind of event, while horrible, is very, very far down on the list of things any of us need to worry about or plan for. The fear you feel comes from inside your head, not from any significant danger to you or your kids. [/quote]

I don't think you understand statistics.[/quote]

No, this person is correct. It’s about as likely as dying by lightning strike. Now, we still warn people not to stand out in open fields during a storm, and we should still take reasonable measures to ensure that zero children die in a school shooting. But living in fear as if this is a likely occurrence is not warranted. [/quote]

There is something deeply wrong with those of you that choose to normalize mass shootings of children.  [/quote]

If Sandy Hook did not prompt us to get our house in order, nothing will.  I accept the reality underwhich we live due to gun nuts.  As long as at least half the population (more or less) votes R I have to fear for my children, whether it's getting shot at school or being denied needed reproductive care.

I have to find ways to cope and to work around their madness.  One approach is those "safe rooms" you may have seen recently that create a bullet proof area inside the classroom.  Another might be the Reserrves on site.  Sad, terrible, reminds me of "third world" places I've vistied but, I'm not living in a fantasy here.  [/quote]

Fck that.  I'm not giving in.  That's insanity.[/quote]

Israel does that and many jewish schools do that. Its not giving in to defend yourself. [/quote]
