On December 22, 2012 I sent this post to Governor O'Malley.
If They Can Have A Safe Room At A Fire Station, Why Not ALL Schools?
Have you ever been to the new Fire Station 16 at night?
The only way you can access the building is to enter a "SAFE ROOM". The Safe Room doors lock behind you. Once you are in there you have to be buzzed in or out. The room has bullet proof glass.
IF they can provide this for a Fire Department, why haven't they been installed in every School across America?
Because of alternate funding routes.
ReplyDeleteSchool doors are supposed to be locked to outsiders at all times. You are supposed to be buzzed in! Looks like multiple things were wrong in that situation!
ReplyDeleteSchool letting out, gunman hits fire alarm, kids swarm out into halls believing school is on fire. These school terrorist are ahead of the game with their thought out plans. If a kid wants to shoot up a school he will. US needs to look at Israel plans - Todays parents will not discipline so it is time US requires time in service training. But Congress will never allow that while our children die in classroom. It is always the gun that kills never the mental problem with the one who pulls the trigger. Many still believe the gun kills, forgetting so do vehicles, drugs, or people.
ReplyDelete7:42 good luck with conscription, nothing says freedom like forced service under incompetent leaders. We have schools across America without clean water, heat or a/c and you want to install some crazy safe room rather than dealing with the obvious problem of psycho's easily getting room clearing firearms.
ReplyDeleteI think some of you are missing my point. I'm not advocating for a safe room. I'm pushing the very inexpensive door knob solution.
ReplyDeleteIt's the total lack of decent parenting, end of story.
ReplyDeleteThis doorknob is genius. I saw where a parent years ago said to buy the inexpensive rubber door stoppers and put them in your childs backpack. If they have to lock themselves into a closet or room then put the stopper there and the shooter would be deterred or annoyed and move on. Worth my $3
ReplyDeleteAnother novel, I expensive idea was forwarded by a friend. Buy your child an inexpensive door stop and have them keep it in their desk or back pack. First sign of trouble,put door stop on locked door. Even if able to shootout lock, pushing door against door stop will make the door harder to open, allowing time for help to come or exit by using windows.
DeleteThat is becasue the powers at be don't give a damn about any of you or your kids (but remember everything they do, everything they say, and all of the taxes and fee raises were and are always "JUST FOR THE KIDS") and this is just more proof of how right I am, and have been and will continue to be... Educate yourself and you too can see the big picture here!!!!
ReplyDeleteInexpensive door knob, rubber stopper, heck O'Palley with his I told you so's. Shame the powers that be cannot see the forest beyond the trees.
ReplyDeleteSave our children powers that be! Spend the money wisely with efficient ways/ideas already being used (ASK AROUND IF NEEDED), keep our kids safe and lock them in! Deal with the libs/snowflakes later!
Continue to stand around doing nothing and you will be out of a job shortly!
7:42 correct, but you too miss the picture like everyone else... They are going after guns becasue that is, get it??? THAT IS THE ONLY way to stop tyranny and oppression from an out of control govt with power... You can't stop the govt from kicking in your door and taking you away for free speech with a car, or truck or subway... ONLY A GUN can do that... That is why they go after guns so hard, so often, and why they never fix any laws...
ReplyDeleteAll of you think about all of this would you please, They have gun laws that don't stop shootings so they want more gun laws to stop shootings... Do you get the pattern here?? NO law has nor will it ever stop someone hurting someone with an inanimate object... No law can predict or stop someone who is perfectly sane, legal and never broken a law to go crazy and shoot someone, you just can't stop that... Do you see the pattern yet???? Anti-gun laws, shooting happens, more gun laws, still shootings, more gun laws, still shootings... It shows you from the pattern that gun laws don't work, and how many times can you do a background check before you say enough is enough??? You do know that you have to do a background check on any and every gun you buy every single time right????
You think you're going to fight the most advanced fighting machine on the planet in the age of tech and drone warfare with some Beasley ar15 platform rifles? Assuming that the patriots in our armed forces blindly agree to massacre their own people. You're an idiot
Delete8:31 I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteSchools should be secure. I am sure most if not all schools are not truly secure.
ReplyDeleteomally should be in prison for his role in the corruption of our voting system, as well as his role for disarming law abiding citizens thereby encouraging crime and violence...but high crime is such a lucrative business for the kings of Md. {and you thought Day and chiefy were just bad at their jobs}Crime is THEIR tool to enslave the citizens.
ReplyDeleteYou have my vote on the door knobs...but it wont bode well with the communist that control our government, if theres no mass violence or the threat....what will they campaign on?!?! How will they justify disarming and the destruction of the Constitution?!?!
9:06, What gets me is how Liberals are using the deaths of innocent children and push gun control. WHY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! Put these door knobs on every class room and these sick jackasses cannot enter the classroom. It will discourage sick jackasses from entering these schools nation wide. I'm not saying it's a 100% cure but it is a very inexpensive start.
ReplyDeleteSince you're so wealthy, why don't you "pay it forward" and buy them for the county?
ReplyDelete9:17, what a coward to make such a statement behind anonymous. Not that I would retaliate, just that I think people like you think I should continue to pay out of my own pocket for things like this. I have seen government piss away money like there's no tomorrow. $500.00 hammers, $1,000.00 toilet seats. A $14.00 door knob will turn into a $250.00 door knob and a $300.00 installation.
ReplyDeleteWhy not go to those builders who are making tens of millions of dollars to build a school donate them. Besides, I own a LOT of properties in Wicomico County and pay a LOT of taxes for schools my Family does NOT use and never have. I already Pay It Forward!
Joe...why not meeting half way . Schools have armed Deputies. Do you know how much schools cost already? Does any one really need assault rifles? I strongly support the 2nd amendment rights but really, assault rifles. I know of no sportsman , hunter,gun enthusiast that would not agree with restrictions on assault rifles or high volume magazines. I hardly know of anyone who would not support background checks. Can we compromise, or are my rights less important than others? I do not feel safe in this gun crazed society.
ReplyDeleteThey're for wanna be soldiers. Your right to life and safety is less than others right to have ridiculous guns to stroke their fragile immasculane egos
DeleteI don't think its the guns that are crazy. ITS THE PEOPLE
Delete9:24, While I actually partially agree with you, where does it end. Give an inch, take a mile. Look, the way I see this country headed, we're going to need all the weapons we can get our hands on to defend ourselves from a snowflake lead government once they change the constitution, bill of rights and the list goes on and on. That's just the federal level. Locally, your 70 years old with a heart condition, you pay massive taxes, (well above the national average) fees and then your Mayor comes along and hits you up with fines because you couldn't physically remove the snow from your sidewalk within 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteIf you in fact TRUST your government, you're NUTS! I'm far more comforted with Trump in the White House but we must go back to what our founding fathers created or FIGHT for our rights back independently.
If you want me to compromise, fine. No one under 21 gets an assault weapon. Doesn't mean they can't get their hands on Dads if they are that desperate but you pussy hat people think that will stop gun violence, go for it.
Need I say more people?
Hated when those snowflakes changed the constitution to give non whites their rights. This is sarcasm for all you thick skilled people.
Delete924am, clearly you are the problem! There are no assault weapons UNTIL theyve been used in an assault AR stands for Amorlite Rifle {your brainwashed or your mission to destroy the Constitution?}. The 2A is NOT about hunting nor shooting sports, its about keeping a tyrannical government in check. It shows your a communist progressive because the facts show that 80% of gun owners own at least one Ar gun for home defense and hunting. YOU have the right NOT to own one...DO NOT infringe on my Rights!! Carry on lying hypocrite commie!
ReplyDeleteThere are Bills being voted on this week that ban absolutely nothing that has been used in crime in MD...but they will MAKE criminals of every law abiding citizen that owns one...its not about stopping crime!
Dave T: My dear dear Martin, nobody listens to you because you are an idiot.
ReplyDeleteYou want to ban till age 21 but send 18yrolds to wars in foreign lands yet deni them the constitutional right to protect themselves, their families here on american soil?
ReplyDeleteYou also ban 18 years olds from drinking. None of it makes any sense. Your civil rights - I get annoyed when I hear that. Be thankful for your freedom to have a gun period.
DeleteFirst amendment rights are restricted and have limits, is it too much to consider limits on the second amendment?
ReplyDeleteIf the kid gets the gun from the Dad , shame on the Dad. Dads and moms get arrested when they allow underage drinking why not arrest the Dad?
I am a great driver but i obey the speed limit. When it comes to gun access and right to own and right to carry not ALL are created equal!
ReplyDeleteHow does it make you feel when you are in a Bar with alcohol and men/women, an hormones raging and patrons are obviously open carry?
What happen to states rights that Republicans are so anxious to support and Harris endorses the cross State carry law . Personally , I do not want to go to Seacrets and see a lot of open carry weapons hanging out.
Is there any compromise here? Or is this all or nothing?
9:49, What an Idiot! There are plenty of people who have a right to carry license and guess what, they're in bars, movie theaters and all kinds of places they choose to visit.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, rather then making up stories, why don't you state some instances here in MARYLAND where a person with the proper license started shooting up a school or bars, or whatever.
You see, people like you create a fantasy to try to scare people. Could be, then again might not be. So, one never knows, does one?
9:44 I'm all for making military age 21 as well. These pansy kids today at 18 are not ready to be in the military.
ReplyDelete10:26, I firmly agree. Back when there was a draft there were far less people in America. Today, God Forbid we need to create another draft they certainly could reconsider. Besides, the government would make a small fortune with community college enrollment before some would volunteer and or sent off to the military. This is yet another reason why I support Culver and free college for 2 years. We're already paying local and state taxes to support WorWic.
ReplyDelete10:26 and Joe I agree, but I would make it at age 20. I believe the 20 yr old kid is old enough to bleed for the country, than he/she is also old enough to drink a beer or two. I love the idea of the door knob at schools, but as previously mentioned, state of Maryland is ruled by the Liberal Communists in Annapolis Swamp, so they will blame the gun, again.
ReplyDeleteNice touch 9:44. Next time you see a soldier in that age range , make damn sure you tell him/her what a pansy ass they are. Or are you the pansy ass? Bring it on buddy
ReplyDeletenot to mention the 3 million dollars for the bullet proof glass ....yea that's needed because they have such a demand for it due to all the criminals they arrest ...yea right ....
ReplyDelete924
ReplyDeleteLet me make it easy to understand.
It is not about hunting. Or sport.
The citizens need assault rifles because the government has assault rifles.
We must be able to protect ourselves from he government.
Otherwise we will be victims of the government.
Period.
Read some history.
Wake up man. Educate yourself.
Power corrupts and absolute power (defenseless citizenry) corrupts absolutely.
Would it be rude and insensitive to state I am tired of hearing about this? 17 kids got murdered in their school. Terrible. Tragic. All the bad adjectives.
ReplyDeleteMore people than that are killed every day. 4 times as many are killed with knives than with ANY rifle. Talk is cheap, laws are useless.
People wanted freedom FROM religion instead of freedom OF religion. Everything has to be PC. Free speech, free speech, free speech. With no repercussions.
No discipline for kids. Heck, most times only one parent in the house with kids. Racism this, racism that. You hurt my feelings. I am right, you are wrong.
We kicked God out of schools (and just about everything else) what did you think would take His place?
You want people to be kind? Be kind to people, even when they are NOT kind to you. THAT would be real change. And change everyone will benefit from.
Too simple right? No. Too hard, which is why most will not do it.
And the killings will continue.
