The video below shows the horrific moment when the Parkland, Florida high school shooter attacked a classroom. A witness says that the killer couldn’t get into the classroom so . . .

fired through the door window. Notice that no one’s moving away from the angle of attack or hiding or, well, anything. My advice to my daughter when I drop her off at school: run or ambush.

  1. As I’ve mentioned in the previous posts, home school your children or grandchildren! It’s the only way for them to get a good education instead of an indoctrination! And everyone at home can carry!

  2. Wrap everyone in Kevlar? In pgh pa juvenile p.o.’s carry guns. They are also placed in schools. However, the school district will not allow p.o.’s to carry their service weapon on the premises.

    In these same schools I have watched youth bypass the metal detectors as the private security carries on with other students. Ridiculous.

  3. … because they’ve calculated that “we can afford to let up to 49 people die – but no more than that, or people will really start to get upset.”

  4. “Their bones have become highly prized in the the Far East with a skeleton fetching up to £7,000 and the skin £3,000. Teeth can fetch £500 each.” – While my math, and google, may be wrong, that’s $35,000.

    The average black South African family makes $8,700 a year as of 2011. (I don’t know why all the top search results were for black South Africans, but they were).

    I know the poacher isn’t getting market price for the lion, but at that price, I’d be tempted to shoot a protected animal that comes along when I’m out hunting. And I don’t live in a s-hole.

    Poaching wouldn’t be a huge problem if people were allowed to breed these animals and sell the parts.

  5. To MDA and Bloomberg victims of deranged monsters were “in the right place at the right time”. They are showing their hand a little too much with that comment.

  7. I’m kind of surprised that this is the first mass shooting I’ve heard of where the fire alarm was used to draw the victims into the open. When I was in school and we had those stupid little drills, I always thought that the fire alarm was an obvious tactic.

  8. “which is why Moms Demand Action volunteers will not rest until we pass strong legislation to keep guns out the hands of people with dangerous intentions”

    I agree! SHANNON WATTS and her merry mob of lunatics should lobby Congress to pass a law making school shootings illegal.

    Then pass out mind reading equipment to help police identify “people with dangerous intentions”.

  9. ANYONE proud to sport a vanity license plate with “DIRTBAG” on it has a perception problem. The cure for such a problem is to have him hit upside his head with a bag of dirt…a 1 cubic yard bag of dirt…propelled from one of those wonderful war machines that toss pumpkins in competition today.

  10. Well, I got a “must do something” text from MDA. It says:
    “Tonight we mourn for Parkland, Florida. Tomorrow we act. Join an Everytown and Moms Demand Action event near you. [link to flavor aid drinking event]”

    So the appropriate time to “not politicize” the tragedy stands at approx. 6 hours.

  11. Yet another habitual felon turns murderer. There used to be a 3 time loser rule that got you the death penalty or a life sentence depending on the state. We need to reinstate this and vote for politicians who will only appoint judges who will enforce it, not listen to any whiny crap about cruel and unusual punishment. At the time the Constitution was written, a “person” like this would have long ago been dispatched for his previous crimes by the police or the armed citizens acting in self defense.

  12. Ugh… Hate crime… Why do we have that stupid phrase in our language and legal code? Seriously, when the hell does intent really change the damage done? Oh the perp meant to do it? Good enough for me. Accident or deliberate, no damn thought crime BS.

  14. Re “false positives”, an unwarrantedly polite description for bureaucratic screw-ups, such things need to be considered carefully. I personally experienced one, fortunately no harm was done to innocents, a happy circumance that might not be repeated. Also, there is the possibility that the “bad guy”, whose acquisition of arms should have been blocked but wasn’t has to be considered. It seems to me that the people who need to avoid and or block such unfortunate circumstances can’t, which tells me one thing. The control types haven’t the proverbial clue, a situation or fact that they vociferously deny. So as the cartoon punch line asked, What’s Up Doc?

  15. Until y’all wake up to the fact that RKBA absolutism is the only viable way to truly protect from infringement, the chipping away will continue until there is nothing worth saving.

    Nah… you won’t awaken! People will screech about former felons with guns, confound chaos with anarchy, deflect by talking about making sausage, beg for more government power, chase after licenses, pontificate on eating elephants, etcetera ad nauseam. Keep giving fellatio to random government thug entities while protesting being called a whore.

    Statism IS the disease. Focus solely on the symptoms and the victim will expire.

  16. What the hell are these teachers teaching our kids these days. When I went to school I plead allegiance to our flag and sang the National Anthem. and even prayed in school. We were taught history and why the civil war happen, who started the KKK, WW1 and WW11. Now days these kids don’t know shit. what the hell is going on???? Just pisses me off. Just a bunch of shits period.

  17. The orange furniture seems like a reasonable idea, non-permanent alteration that works just as well as painting the gun. The problem is it has a pistol grip, which is a terrible idea on a Mossberg because you can’t reach the safety.

  18. That great flamethrower unveiling was enough to realize Musk is just a charismatic con-man. Like clock radio kid. Promise big nonsense to ignorant investors, use their money to pay real engineers to sort-of fulfill your promises, profit handsomely off the taxpayer while forever remaining in a state of “development.”

  19. This stuff never happened when I was in HS. It didn’t start happening until the liberals started doing their social engineering which replaced prayer and Judeo-Christian values in the schools back in the 60’s. They have really screwed up our society. This will change only when parents set higher expectations of their children and teach them respect for authority. Parents must demand that their children be protected by an armed faculty and parents. The media must stop naming and photographing the perps, giving them instant fame.

  20. The Boring Flame Thrower doesn’t need government approval, because the flame is less than 10 feet long.

    I might just build one for lighting campfires.

    If you give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day. But if you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life.

  21. We are breeding a new generation of children that are totally against gun ownership as the children interviewed today and yesterday in the Florida massacre are all saying they have seen their comrades laying in pools of blood with their brains splattered all over the walls. They want something done to stop the madness and they will do it when they turn 18 by voting out Republicans and supporting more common sense gun control. To them the older hillbilly generation cannot die off of old age fast enough. When you have looked into the eyes of a madman with an assault rifle your views on gun control change very quickly.

  22. My daughters are grown now, but if they weren’t: If a shooting happened in the schoolyard, I’d advise my kids to drop, seek cover, and when possible to run like hell (hard to hit a fast-moving target). If it happened in the school (with kids in classrooms), I’d tell my kids to drop, get against a wall and hide if possible (or play dead). I also think that classroom doors should be solid wood and lockable during class time to limit shooter access. There should be qualified armed school security personnel patrolling the halls (and possibly armed teachers, too, if some of those snowflakes could stand it) and the outer doors should be locked so nobody can get in from outside, but kids can get out at need. If a shooting happened between classes while kids were in the hallways, I’d advise my kid to run away from the sound of gunfire and get out of the building – far away and hide until the all-clear was sounded. I recommend that all schools should hold drills, the same way they do for fires (and used to do in case of nuclear attack – but that was a LONG time ago!)

  23. There is only one way to make our schools safer. Let the staff members and parent volunteers come to school armed.

    Anything else is simply enabling murder.

  24. “What ONE THING should society do to reduce or eliminate the threat of an active shooter on a school campus?”

    Only one?

    In the immortal words of Malcom Reynolds…. “Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill ’em right back”

    In other words, shoot back.

    When shooters get the idea that the school, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t a great big group of soft-targets then maybe there will be less people getting killed in those great big groups of soft targets.

  25. I guess those Russians have a lot of time on their hands while they sit in a cabin surrounded by 8 feet of snow.

    Also, WTF? People have that kind of time to scroll through twitter hashtags? GET A LIFE MILLENNIAL!

  26. Suppressor’s have been for sale online for a long time under a different name *COUGH* solvent trap adapter *COUGH*… So if terrorist bob wanted to buy one for $50 – $100 what’s stopping them?

    So why put laws on suppressor’s that “Mute LOL” the suppressor when your law abiding terrorist can buy one online?

  27. Umm.. so I have a few older cousins that were in the Marines. They went through training, went through drills to prepare themselves while “being” fired upon (with blanks and audio) and were taught to react accordingly. Unfortunately…they’re training exercises were just training exercises. The moment they were in Iraq under actual “enemy firepower” (e.g. the guy shooting the weapon wants you dead) they shut down, then the trained soldiers who have been in Iraq for several months, protect them and wake them out of that stupor of fear. Considering the fact most students do not go to school with any sort of training for a war mentality. How should they react in during the 20 minutes it takes for a person to gun down most of their school mates. What should the teacher that spent hours the night before developing a lesson plan and not training for a battle scenario do in a such a situation?

    I want to believe I would react accordingly and try to save my life or the life of my friends in such a situation. But it seems like a pipe dream to me…Like I’ve been watching too many Nic Cage movies and think I could have a quick one liner and kill the enemy in the same minute. The fact is the majority of us are not trained to be fired upon and react like a hero…
