Of course, the latest thing as of last week is the use of "Backs-Packs" with a type of body armor built into them to help shield people from bullets. This is similar to the current body armor that Law Enforcement uses that can installed and also removed when necessary. I saw a recent story on it that stated that lots of people are already lined up trying to buy this type of item for their kids safety.
It is a CRAZY world that we live in these days. It got even CRAZIER in the fact that even though the FBI and other LEO personnel had previously been advised about this latest shooter and his threats over a period of time, they completely ignored this threat that became a REALITY !!!
I don't think that it is right for ANY person to have to worry about their safety while attending any school.
What the heck has happened to our schools these days???? When I went to school, the teachers and students got along fine and most every teacher knew my parents on a first name basis and I knew that if I did something wrong, my rear-end was going to suffer the consequences at school that was given to me by that particular teacher AND THEN ALSO WHEN I GOT HOME AND IT WAS RE-APPLIED TO MY REAR-END BY MY FATHER.
When I was in high school, there were lots of times that we had our rifles or shotguns in our vehicles so that we could go hunting right after school. There were even guns hanging in the gun-racks in pickups for others to see while parked at school BUT nobody bothered them or thought anything about it. That was life as I grew up in the country.
I am a firm believer that "Social Media" of whatever type has ruined our country and world as we used to know it. YES, I do blame parents for allowing their kids to have EVERY kind of device known, just to "keep up with the Jones" so to speak. Well, our Daughter never even had a cellphone until she was in college and she has turned out to be one of the most honest, respectable, smartest, and most responsible person on this earth.
My late wife and I NEVER have had a single problem of any kind with our Daughter from the time that she was born to the current day. I give thanks to GOD every day for such a wonderful Daughter too.
