A Pennsylvania school district said it will arm 500 school teachers with baseball bats in response to the Parkland, Fla., school shooting, Erie News Now reported.
The Millcreek School district organized a training day on how to respond to a potential shooting and the 16-inch bats were handed out to each teacher, the report said. The district paid $1,800 for the bats.
William Hall, the district’s superintendent, told the paper that the bats were primarily symbolic, but a “last resort,” and “an option and something we want people to be aware of.”
Nikolas Cruz, 19, is charged in a 34-count indictment with killing 17 people and wounding 17 others in the Feb. 14 attack. He faces the death penalty if convicted, but his public defender Melisa McNeill had said he would plead guilty in return for a life prison sentence.

ReplyDeleteNY schools are arming their Teachers with Squirt Guns.
ReplyDeleteDave T: Wow, Pa legislators you're topping the charts in modern idiotics. Way to go. Meaning, since you're stupid...that you have a "way to go" until you finally get your act together. Do you realize you're still screwing up a perfectly fine state with you ridiculous ideas? Much like cutting education funding to help build prisons, and importing out of state garbage for profits. Great moves I can see are really working for those of you who are pocketing the proceeds. But check your outmigration numbers, the truth is in them. People are sick of you. Myself included.
ReplyDeleteHow idiotic can they get??

Right.
Liberal logic ..bring a bat to a gunfight
ReplyDeleteOk,I will charge a shooter with a small bat...said no teacher ever
ReplyDeleteHey, guys, these are black bats with a 16 inch barrel and composite pistol grip which makes them Assault Bats. Ten times more deadly that those .45 cal "pea shooter" semi-auto pistols the cops had down in Parkland.
ReplyDeleteIf they had had these bats, those cops would have been able to rush that shooter, believe you me!
One Pennsylvania school district armed themselves with “river rocks”...true story. Blue Moutain school district..
