There are some really screwball ideas being floated these days on how to prevent gun violence. For example, to protect our schools it's proposed we put a uniformed police officer on every campus. Many schools have done that for years, and while I don't see how it can hurt, more than anything I think it just gives people a warm fuzzy.
Think about it: Retailers have "loss prevention" specialists who look for shoplifters. They wear street clothes and appear to be just average customers meandering around the stores. They don't wear neon orange vests that say "I'm watching you!"
If you were a disturbed person intent on shooting up a school, wouldn't the first person you take out be the one with the gun? Your opening shot would be to the back of the head of this guy, then you could roam around and shoot at will. These people might be "disturbed", but they're meticulous planers.
Make it public knowledge there are __ armed security in the school daily, but never let it be known who they are. Is it the janitor? The PE teacher? The cafeteria lady with the five-o'clock shadow? One of the maintenance crew always on campus doing something? Never tip your hand.
Just my take on it.

Are you keeping up with the verbal oogling incident Brent Musburger put on Alabama QB AJ McCarron's GF during Monday night's national championship game? He went on and on about how beautiful she was, which is true. (Brent might be old, but he's not cold.) But here's something no one else seems to have brought up: Is she smart?
In one video clip they've shown over and over she's sitting in the stands when Alabama scored and everyone around her raised their arms and yelled..."WooHoo!!" Then about 3 seconds later she raised her arms and yelled..."WooHoo!!" I've never seen a fan with a built-in time delay like that.
I dunno, maybe she doesn't really understand football and didn't realize what just happened. Or maybe she was thinking about how she'd really rather be home with a book and her cat.
And didn't she go to Auburn? Ummm....I thought in the state of Alabama Auburn folks and Alabama folks didn't fraternize? And they certainly don't breed, 'cause they're afraid of how the kids might turn out. I guess exceptions can be made when you're the back-to-back national champion team's QB and she's the reigning Miss Alabama.
Yeah...that must be it.

I don't think guns in schools works as a deterrent in any case. Places like banks, gas stations, liquor stores all have people who are armed for security and yet they get robbed on a daily basis. People who are desperate and/or crazy are willing to take the chance against "deterrence." We have to get these people before they get to the schools, movie theaters, etc. If only we had psychics like "Minority Report" to stop crimes before they happen.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about finding these disturbed people BEFORE they pick up guns. That's where we should concentrate our anti-violence efforts. That's the best deterrent.

I agree with you about the police presence in schools.
ReplyDeleteWhat I noticed is how much taller she is than the guy's mother. But we only watched a bit of the game because it was just too one-sided. Maybe she was checking to make sure he was ok before she celebrated the score?
I have a blog friend who has degrees from Auburn AND Alabama - and I'm pretty sure she's not schizophrenic over it :)
BTW, as far as the girl goes, I remember a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial recently where a man, his wife, and kid are all at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch football. Then something good happens and the man and kid celebrate right away but when you look closely you can see the woman kind of hesitates before she joins in.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that chick is hot but I can't help wondering how old she is. She seems like the type who matured early and will probably be used and need plastic surgery by the time she's 28.
Good point about the police force in school. Have to think about that.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed a beautiful woman, but she is wearing an awful lot of makeup for a football game, a game that, as you've pointed out, she appears to know little about. I think this is a set-up to launch a career of some sort.
ReplyDeleteAs for arming people in schools and public places, in the forty or so incidents of mass shootings over the past few years there WERE armed individuals on site and it do no good at all. In fact, several times armed bystanders almost shot the police as they were taking down the shooter.
Assault weapons have to go! They do not belong in the hands of civilians, and those of us who support the Second Amendment need to lead the charge.
Hm...maybe this beautiful woman is a lot like me as far as her knowledge of football is concerned. My ex-husband used to coach high school football and asked me to come to a game.
ReplyDeleteI brought a book.
He was mad.
