School Safety Issues

On 15 January at 11:30 in the Courthouse Annex the County Legislative Committee on Law Enforcement will meet to discuss school safety. This meeting is advertised as an opportunity for the community to discuss the various needs and concerns for increased school safety.

Proposals that have been discussed at different levels across the county and the nation include such things as placing armed guards at each school; creating new SRO positions for each school; allowing teachers to be trained and allowed to go armed during school; increased electronic surveillance; securing all exits directly from a classroom to the outside; etc, etc.

What are some of your concerns and ideas for this discussion?

I believe that every person has the right to carry firearms; so long as those firearms are black powder and single shot (as was the case when the 2nd Amendment was written). Teachers trained to be armed in school??? Very bad idea. SRO's in schools? Yes.

Yea another one of them "we done it this way for 200 years why change now".
I bet you still using a outhouse, cooking on the fireplace, washing clothes in a kettle outside and riding a mule where ever you go....NOT.
The Constitution was written for the protection of people from the government. The very clear reason for having firearms is not for hunting or target practice but for protection from all who would do harm to you including the government.

Guns should be banned. They are dangerous. I wish they would take all guns and knives too. It is time this world was peaceful. Animals don't deserve to be killed and eaten. Vegetables and dairy are good enough.

If all the knives were taken away how would you cut your carrots and potatoes dumb butt? So if you think dairy OK is then you approve of having a suction pump put on a cows teats and sucked dry. How would you like that to be done to you?

For those who missed the meeting at the county jail, you missed a very good discussion on reasons for having the SRO's in the school. Better yet, the people who work in the schools were a part of the discussion. I commend Kyle Helton for getting this meeting together. It was good to see so many concerned commissioners there with open minds about the safety of the children of Giles County.

The schools built in Giles County were never built with the thought that someone might into a school with the evil intent of shooting students. All of them except Pulaski Elementary have open into the hallway entrances. Along with locking all doors, the enclosure of entrance ways would be a start. Some of the schools are considering raising money to get this done through fund raisers. The schools are sitting ducks.

Let's suppose the county has an unlimited amount of money and decides to spend say ten million dollars to secure the schools does anyone really think that would make the children safe? If each school was turned into a mini fortress with twelve foot chain link fences with concertina wire and an armed guard in each class do you really think the children would be completely safe unless that were transported in armored buses? What would such a display of security do to the children's psychic development? There is no completely safe environment for anyone it's just the way life is. Certainly there should be sensible precautions and from my point of view well trained and armed teachers and principals are the best defense against murderers and those seeking to do harm.

One of the cheapest and most effective solutions for school safety is to completely remove their status as "gun free zones," and let principals and teachers who are already trained and have their carry permits to be armed. Only those that wanted to carry would do so and the school system could offer additional training at no cost to the armed teachers. Then post signs at schools that say something like,"This school is armed and protected" and have a graphic silohette of a person with a pistol, I think most shooters would look for easier targets elsewhere. Signs that say "Gun Free Zones" are an open invitation for violence to be committed there.

3:32 Wow, you must be part of the education establishment to be so threatened by homeschoolers. I know it must be hard to swallow when homeschoolers consistently outscore their public school counterparts, but your stereotypes are just not relevant. As far as socialization goes, there are countless opportunities for homeschoolers these days. Granted, they may not know the latest scoop on "Jersey Shores," but most of the ones I've met are pretty well versed on subjects such as the Constitution our rights as American citizens. My how y'all hate not controlling how all kids are indoctrinated, I mean educated.
Homeschoolers are the ones doing the shootings, eh? I didn't realize that our own county's Jamie Rouse was a homeschooler. He was a pioneer of the school shootings. Or what about the EVIL murders perpetrated by Matthew Wood and William Angel? I don't recall those boys being home schooled either. (I know the Thornton murders were not committed at school or by gun usage so don't bother.)
I think it would be interesting to see what type of mind altering drugs all of these murderers were on. I wonder if any of them had ever been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Depression? Or maybe they were just plain evil and did Satan's bidding.

I don't think anyone said they were threatened by homeschooled kids. It was just stated that they are usually socially retarded and not very successful. Thinking that public schools are more controlling than overbearing parents that prefer to homeschool is ignorant.

It also isn't hard for a kid to do well on a test when the parent has all of the info at their disposal.

Parents that homeschool typically think they are smarter than everyone else and want to keep their child sheltered from reality. When you grow up with homeschooled kids in your neighborhood you learn alot about them and their habits. Your points aren't very valid 12:50. Did you homeschool your children? Your inflated ego points toward yes.

Unfortunately, I don't have any children. I spent my 20's and 30's pursuing my education and career. By the time I found my soulmate, we were unable to conceive. But, I have seen many successful homeschooling families and would love to have had the opportunity to homeschool.
When I used the term "threatened," I was referring to the education elites who despise homeschoolers. The thought that a parent, who loves their children and knows their children and their individual needs better than anyone else on earth, can actually do a better job educating them, for MUCH less money I might add, is anathema to them and their power structure.
Stereotyping homeschoolers as socially retarded is something that has been leveled at them for years, but there are just too many opportunities for sports and community involvement nowadays for that dog to hunt. I find that the homeschoolers that I personally know are actually better socialized on a wider and more diverse scale, (hey, diversity is a great thing, right) and are very successful in their lives after graduation. I mean seriously, where else on earth will they ever be warehoused with only those of the same age after high school?
I don't have anything against good public school teachers, and I know many of them. But there are also the militant, pro union type that are all about the money and the benefits.
I wouldn't know about the inflated egos of homeschooling parents. From what I can see, they make great sacrifices to train up their children in the way that they should go. Most of the homeshoolers I know are conservative Christians and typically live on less income-by choice-so that one of the parents can stay home and teach their kids. It's simply a matter of priorities, not egos.

After listening to the politicians and political pundits this week talk about the "dire necessity" to change gun laws to protect children, I must say I have even less confidence in the government than before and it was very small before.
Two major things seem totally overlooked or only the smallest amount of political lip service has been given.
First, the administration and other government officials have shown no real interest in severely prosecuting and sentencing those who VIOLATE the current gun laws. The claim is that the NRA is the obstacle but the NRA and it's membership has long advocated that people who use firearms illegally should be punished more severely than those who do not use guns in their crime.
Putting more restrictions and prohibitions on law abiding gun owners and those seeking to become gun owners is as stupid as putting a saddle on a milk cow and calling it a horse. It may sound good and feel good but it's not going to run any faster and it will still have to be milked.
Second, liberals, the current crop of politicians in D.C. are dominated by them in both parties, seem more concerned with the rights of crazy people, than with the safety of everyone else, to the point there remains no means of controlling the behavior of the mentally ill other than voluntary. In other words they put the mentally ill person in charge of their treatment including their medication.
Most of those on TV are whining about assault weapons but they don't even know what an assault weapon is. Not long ago a principal in the north of Nashville suspended a kindergarten child for having a plastic G.I. Joe "assault weapon", it was a replica of a 45 cal handgun that was small enough to fit in G.I. Joe's, the doll's hand.
Another thing that is being used to justify more restrictions on law abiding gun owners is "no hunter needs an assault weapon with a magazine that holds a hundred rounds of ammo". Well, I agree no hunter needs such a weapon and I don't know a single hunter who is out there with an AK or M16 shooting rabbits and squirrels. People I know who own such weapons have them for sport shooting and protection. If you remember the LA riots the only people who were protected along with their property were those who stood their ground with their weapons.
We have a government that has a long history of abuse against and lying to it's citizens. Far more children were killed by the government in Waco than at New Town by a crazy person. Real assault weapons including a flame shooter tank were used to kill children in Waco and crush the evidence.
If you read the Japanese records of WWII the reason they did not invade the west coast after Pearl Harbor was the simple fact that the populace was considered to be well armed. Part One

Sunday, January 13, 2013 9:50:00 AM  
Blogger Allen Barrett said...

Part two:
To protect school children would require that we build new schools where there is only one heavily guarded entrance/exit, if they get caught in a fire and can't get out well at least no one shot them while using a magazine that held more than three rounds.
There should be no windows lower than twelve feet off the ground and they should be bullet proof even for a 50 cal. armor piercing round, the bricks and mortar should cover a minimum of 1" steel around every classroom. Each classroom would have it's own vault grade steel door that would be locked and unable to be unlocked by anyone other than a police officer stationed on the premises.
Everyone entering the building should go through a metal detector and an x-ray machine then be felt up in the same manner used in airports.
All teachers and administrators would have extensive background checks equal to what an FBI or CIA agent gets, of course any prior violation of drug, alcohol, laws or any contact with a mental health worker would be an automatic disqualifer.
The truth is there is no way to provide 100% protections for children without locking them in a box and hiding them under your bed. Are you willing to take their vehicles, more kids are killed in them than with guns, knives and clubs combined.
The truth is life is hazardous and that is just the way it is, making it more costly, restrictive and abusive for those who obey the law is absurd but so far those are the things that have been suggested. Why not severely punish the criminal and force treatment on the mentally ill, instead of making more rules and laws that will only apply to the law abiding citizen and make them crazy trying to figure out how so many crazy people get put in charge of our lives.

And, by the way, Thursday, January 10, 2013 3:54:00 PM - the wacko who killed those students and staff at the school in Conneticut WAS being home schooled.

And it should be noted that the rifle he stole from his mother that he killed was left in the vehicle that he drove to the school. He only used pistols in his psychotic madness.

9:24 I agree that drugs play a major role in these school shootings, but to insinuate that these tragedies have anything to do with homeschooling is wrong. It sounds like Adam Lanza may have been homeschooled because he had special needs (mental illness) that public schools couldn't meet. But it's totally unfair to imply that homeschooling caused him to have those special needs.

What I would love to know is how the story got out that he used an "assault rifle" in the massacre, when the truth is that the rifle was in the trunk of his mother's car. He used two semi-automatic pistols. Anyone have any guesses as to why they would claim that he used the rifle?

Who knows what is right, I've never heard so many tales than say it's wrong about anything before as that shooting. It's dangerous to repeat what you heard could be wrong.
His mother worked at the school, then she didn't, then it's back to he was jealous of his mother working with those children. Did anyone ever find out if his mother really did work any time at that school for sure?

There are a lot of people who home school their children and do an excellent job. But... there are more people who home school their children for the wrong reason and do a poor job of it. They do not teach their children, most of incapable of doing so. They home school their child because the school principal, teachers or students mistreat their poor little children. All they are doing is teaching their children that Mama can take care of it. They end up unschooled, untrained and incapable of holding jobs as adults because Mama cannot tell the boss that the baby is mistreated. The homeschoolers that are well taught have parents that work every day with the children, they socialize with other homeschoolers and share there teaching skills with other parents. Too bad they are not the majority.

Come on, Allen, you're starting to jump on the Dems like some folks on here jump on you.

A lot of people are re-examining their views on gun control in light of the recent Newtown shootings. Among these are two Pro-gun Democrats -- Manchin and Warner -- and Sen. McCain ( I think he's a Republican :) ).

I own several guns and am quite fond of them, but I don't see the necessity of having high-capacity clips. Most smaller caliber semi-auto rifles already hold 10+ rounds; how many more could you possibly need?

Ray Lanier

BTW, didn't Obama sign into law a bill in 2009 that allows concealed weapons to be carried in national parks and refuges? He doesn't quite sound like the rabid, gun-control freak you portray. Even Johnny McCain said he didn't think the admin was rushing things on this issue.

Having an armed safety officer in every school strikes me as an inefficient and ineffective method of securing safety. The schools are wide open to intrusion through doors and windows. These need to be secured, and the windows replaced with intrusion-proof reinforced glass, or covered with a metal grille. Better securing the school building would have to be done whether or not there is an armed safety officer there, because without it, an intruder could do a lot of damage before the officer got to them.

Our system of reporting and blocking people who are dangerous through past criminal acts or mental illness, along with liability to people who give guns to those who are barred from buying them, and closing the private sale loophole, would over time do a lot of good.

hey Ray, Don't think I have been any harder on democrats than RINOs and other liberals who betray the Constitution and this nation. To me, most who identify themselves as democrats are supporters of the liberal agenda while many republicans tend to support more conservative views. Certainly there are some like McCain, Alexander and Corker that shows no difference in their betrayal of the people than the most aggressive of liberals.

What was done at Newtown was a tragedy regardless of how it's measured but the fact is it happened in a place where some of the strictest gun laws are on the books. The school had an advanced security program. The shooter did not use an "assault" weapon that could fire more than thirty rounds or even twenty rounds.
You state, "I don't see the necessity of having high-capacity clips". That's a reasonable thought but consider that many sport shooters use more than ten rounds in competitive events. The amount of time it takes to reload a magazine at such an event is prohibitive. Also consider that with a small amount of practice a person can change a magazine with five rounds in less than two seconds and return to firing so having more magazines with less ammo in each is really no different than fewer magazines with the same amount of ammo, except of course for the expense which would be huge.
I am not a hunter, haven't been for many years, but I enjoy shooting.
The other thing is that many, me included, believe that the primary responsibility for me and my family's protection rest with us. Law enforcement officials are seldom on the scene as a criminal action begins.
I do not trust this government with information or its concerns for my well being. If you recall what the government did at Waco, where more children were killed by the government than by the crazy person at Newtown.
Another thought is are you aware that the most deadly personal "assault" weapon ever used by the military had the capacity of less than ten rounds?
I have a number of firearms, some made before the turn of the 20th century and some hold more than ten rounds. I like shooting and I like feeling safe therefore I like firearms and the more ammo available the better I feel.
The founders were not concerned with hunting or sport shooting when they included the 2nd amendment to the Constitution, they were concerned with the abusive and tyrannical actions of a government that no longer was responsive to the Constitution or the people under its protections.

Are you certain it won't bite me in the face? Or perhaps punch me in the ass? Either feat will be amazing as we are both anonymous. Let's just make it easy and split the difference; just kiss my ass and be done with it. I'm not normally the loving type but with you I'd gladly make an exception. Hang in there, poster, sooner or later you'll find someone whom you're smarter than.

Just name a commissioner idiot. You made the accusation, now stand behind it. My child is in the 3rd grade and he is laughing at how big of a moron you are. Why are you so damn scared to stand behind your statement?

Hell, my dog can play fetch. That is more than anyone can say about you.

Oh you dumbass you. I never made the accusation, I merely ran with it. I find great enjoyment in listening to your panties wad up. Also, what kind of parent lets their 3rd grader read this blog, unless they need it explained to them. Parent of the year you will never be.

All that aside, how are you gonna explain to your child the reason you snuck up behind a better man and bit him in the ass(refer to your previous post). That should make for some interesting dinner conversation, dumbass.

Well, I guess I've humiliated you enough for one day. Be sure to let your kid read this so as to know how an intelligent person responds. TTFN

You sound like the self-proclaimed hen of the Jungle of Nool. We know how she fell flat on her face from being a know-it-all fool. Take a lesson from the Dr.

That's all you got? After 8 hrs that is the best you can come up with? Some nonsensical, arbitrary reference to Dr. Seuss? My damn,fellow, no wonder you let your 3rd grader field your responses on here.

Enlighten me, if you would, as to who punched the hen in the face. You would do better to stick to playing in your sandbox and leave the discussions that matter to the grown-ups. I can't even work up a decent mad when dealing with you. All I feel is pity and shame for your lack of creativity. Better luck next time, you poor sap you.

No offense 9:03, the post at 8:19 was far more creative and funny than any of your posts so far. I am getting a kick out of this back-and-forth between you two. Dr. Seuss has set the stage, now it is time for you to match the cleverness of that post.

And I do love Horton Hears a Who!

No offense taken, 10:45. Hard as I try, I can't be everything to everyone.

But seriously, you found 8:19's post more creative than mine? Even my 11:18 post? Come on, that was funny AND original; gotta give me points for that. I'm a fan of the Docs as well, but I strive for originality in my insults. I guess I have no choice but to partake of some green eggs and ham and mull this situation over. Hopefully I can wow you with my next post. BTW, I believe it's 8:19's turn now.

It's the bloated egos of fools that prevent an intelligent discussion of issues on this blog and continues to support the backward stupidity that dominates the county political system.

6:41, if that was supposed to be an insult, it failed miserably. Gross, yes; insulting, no.

9:05, it's evident that you take yourself far too seriously. Enjoy life a bit. This blog is the least of the country's political problems.

9:05 couldn't hold an intelligent conversation if someone wrote one on a piece of paper and handed it to her. She would probably have trouble pronouncing the words without whining.

Ouch, 5:08, that's harsh. I'm not disagreeing with you by any means, just saying that's harsh.In retrospect, though, she did start it so I think it fits. Good post.

Stop acting like children and go to the meetings and if a commissioner don't want to vote for it you will see who it is. All I know is the silly post on here.

I agree with 7:53. Since the meeting hasn't occurred yet, all this is purely speculation. Y'all know as well as I that what a commissioner says outside of a meeting isn't necessarily an indication of how they are going to vote.

That can't be it, 4:32, no one would stand a chance against you. All you have to do is widen the hole in your hood, hold some of the bananas with your tail, and you'll have it in the bag. What a dumbass you are.

Beep beep, 5:57, wrong again. I have my check direct deposited so I can just spend, spend, spend; I don't even have to leave the recliner. Ain't technology cool, dumbass?

Please, can someone smarter get on here and try to insult me, this isn't even fun. Jesters were supposed to make people laugh, not pity them for their ignorance. Poor jester.

Human nature. That's why trolls are so successful at what they do.

The intelligence will identify itself by being totally opposite of what is usually posted.

Everything in your post made sense except for the first sentence, dumbass. Unlike many posters, your reason for not signing your name is quite evident. If that was the best I could do, I would remain anonymous as well. Happy VD, sweetheart. (I hope I didn't just out you, that's supposed to stand for Valentine's Day)

The meeting is at 4:30, not 5:00 on the 28th of this month. Please spread the word. This is the one real chance to be heard about this topic whether you are pro or con about it.
