damn_registrars's Journal: Arm the teachers?

We recently had a school shooting in Washington state where the (student) shooter was stopped after firing but before hurting anyone. He was indeed stopped by a teacher from that school.

Did the teacher draw a weapon and send lead flying down the hallway? No. The teacher tackled the boy to disarm him. The school principal also helped to hold down the student until police arrived.

Excellent

Less is more where deadly force is concerned.

On this point and occasion, you and I appear to be in complete agreement. Cheers.

It happens. Would that it were more often.

We'll still respect each other in the morning, regardless. Right? :)

Oh, sure. I'm actually *not* a disagreeable sort of fellow. Things get testy on here with a couple of chaps, but that's really only due to having cycled the same set of arguments over years.
