The end has come.

This is not satire. This is not fake news. This is a REAL school safety hearing that took place on Thursday, March 15, 2018, in Harrisburg, PA with members of the PA House Education Committee and PA school officials.





Officials in Schuylkill County are planning to teach students to throw rocks at school shooters. The superintendent of Blue Mountain School District testified to a state committee in Harrisburg last week that each classroom in the school has been equipped with a five-gallon bucket of river stone, according to WNEP.“If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance to any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks and they will be stoned,” Dr. David Helsel said to the House Education Committee in Harrisburg.



You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

Sticks and stones may break your bones but high speed doses of lead will kill you.

I can see it now, some jackass is gonna see how well this works.

 

[NY Chamorro]

Maybe they can sell the shooter blanks at the front door, then the kids will have a fighting chance

 

[FrankenCub]

So now kids in the same class who have a beef with each other have can crack skulls, cool. This will be nice the first time a teacher pisses off one of the degenerates in the class too. Could be entertaining, I see future YT videos showing up.

While we are in fantasy land, this is the perfect time for OCP to sell their ED209 units to school districts.

"They will be stoned."

That makes 2 of you.

WTF? So they have accepted the need for weapons but just can't commit to the right ones. Words fail.

I think this needs to be field tested by the Harrisburg Police dept for 1 year and listen to their recommendations.

 

[kev74]

I can't get over that they expect the same kids who have been brainwashed to believe its never ok to physically stand up for themselves to kill an attacker by stoning.

This is what happens when these idiots feel compelled to pacify the "We have to do something!" crowd.

 

[stokes]

At least now the jr snowflakes can stone the class bully.The world will be a safe place now.

 

[GOPerfect]

Doc beat you to it.

What are they going to tell the parents in the event of a shooting? At least we saved some lives? Your daughter was a hero? she held off the shooter until her bucket was empty and charged? Your son ran toward the sound of the shots, threw 4 stones at the shooter before he was cut down in the hallway, He was a hero.

We know the teacher was hit by friendly fire by the lacerations above the eye which did not come from a 556 round. ?

 

[GOYABEAN]

In each classroom

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Well maybe they're more accurate than they think.


I propose those in favor try it and if 1 out of 100 lives....institute it.

 

[togmaster]

Getting stoned in highschool is nothing new. Trust me.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

It would be really funny if it weren't so not funny.

 

[holdover]

I know this may sound a little radical but Can I suggest that the children use Hoplon spears and form up into phalanx'es in the hallway? Certainly the shooter would not expect to be caught in the middle of two phalanx'es

(I almost couldn't write this because I laughing to hard)

Come On kids! He might get some of us, but he cant get all of us ! Lets move!

 

[Catskillkid]

Depends on how fast they throw it. Might be able to penetrate better than a .45, no?

Seriously, the stupid is fucking exceptional with this one. Let's just stop this nonsense now. Get each school a trained and armed school resource officer. When they do their job, like in Maryland, lives are saved. No rocks needed or rock chucking required.

Then again maybe we should observe what this superintendent are doing. Pretty soon that's all we'll be allowed to own and carry.

 

[FrankenCub]

Will the school be liable for friendly fire damages? I'm sure most of the pantie waist kids now couldn't throw straight.

 

[holdover]

I really hope Kuomo adopts this common sense approach

Or we could stop disarming teachers, administration and staff who are able to lawfully carry outside of school. Extra training would be a bonus.

Sorry @holdover but the phalanx assumes gender.

A lot of them can't throw period. Remember that the military took the grenade throwing qualification away because s lot of the pansies can't pass

 

[BDinPutnam]

If it saves just one life...

 

[Twogunwilly]

Have the teachers throw rocks while the students jump out the friggin windows.

 

[Catskillkid]

How many rocks does that bucket hold? Is it over 10? 'Cuz if it is then it's a high capacity bucket and has no place in civil society.

You don't need 10 river stones to kill a school shooter!!!!

Oh and I work in stream management...they're called cobbles asshole!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I'm just wondering when these pieces of shit who suggest things like this will be held as accessory to murder when more kids get killed because of their criminally insane policies.

Is this fucking moron on drugs?
