About 50 teachers at a New Jersey school experienced a terrifying moment when a shooting rampage turned out to be a drill, but the teachers didn’t know it.
It happened Aug. 28 at the Phillipsburg New Jersey Early Learning Center.
A man burst into the library and started shooting. But the gun didn’t have any bullets, just blanks.
Teachers took cover under child-sized tables, crying and trembling.
“People are crying. The girl next to me is trembling and shaking. You heard people crying. You heard other people praying. It was pretty dramatic,” one teacher said.
The school district put the drill in place to test staff readiness.
The Phillipsburg School Board heard from angry teachers and parents Monday night.
The board is reviewing the drill.

Lol would have been funny if the librarian was packing and blew his f---in head off.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:34 am
My God.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:35 am
What would have happened if someone charged “the gunman” and pummeled him to death?
September 17th, 2008 at 9:36 am
thank you number one.
that would have been the only way they would have apologized for anything like this to ever happen.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:37 am
become immune to terror…leave town and become self sufficient on the land and in small communitys of survivalists.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:39 am
LOL

sick very evil, thumbs down
September 17th, 2008 at 9:53 am
If that was in Utah, teachers would have blown his head off.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:06 am
So did the staff pass the drill!?! I can’t believe this was even allowed to happen!
September 17th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Nation,
This angers me as i think if this was subjected to my kids and i feel sorry for those kids/teachers.
There is no good that can come from drills of this type, and why would they not tell anyone.
What if a teacher had a heart attack or a hero kills gunman????

To DIY – I know several teachers in my area who are also commissioned law enforcement officers that carry weapons in school and they would have killed the “shooter.” This was very stupid.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:26 am
This is completely stupid ! What the f--- were they searching for, an heroe !

#5,
You’ve got the right idea. I watched a documentary on the Sundance channel about people living out on a mesa in New Mexico. Unfortunately, they were all more or less people with severe problems, addicted to drugs, and not very well educated concerning freedom, their constitution (in which they all kept referring to our Constitutional Republic as a “Democracy”) or the brainwashing of the people via the mass media which is controlled by the Super-Elite.
There were a few Gulf war vets living there (Gulf War I) who had no idea that 911 was an inside job, so to speak, and talked about U.S. firepower and how “we” should slaughter those living in the Middle east so they won’t “never attack the U.S. again.” Yet in just another breath, the same vet talks about our freedoms?
The People live out there with no running water, electrical power (from the grid), except through solar arrays and rechargeable banks of batteries (at least a few of the more organized in the community) but even these are poorly constructed, not even making up 10% of their combined power.. The idea is solid but their community, in my opinion, is plagued by the personal problems of those living there. The last thing you need or want is unstable people when living in some sort of off-grid community.
They don’t own the land, it is public land and anyone can show up at anytime to either hassle or join the community. The police burned down a man’s house because of a suspected marijuana grow & sell operation (which, when translated, means: A guy growing a very safe plant and trading with his neighbors, no harm, no foul.) They obtained no warrant and killed some eleven of his dogs, one only remains after the attack on his home by authorities.
These people, even though ragged and poorly organized, have the right to pursue a free life, regardless if other people do not agree with it, especially the Government. They handle all problems that arise on the mesa without calling in the police. They handle things in their own way, very fairly, and justice seems better served for their efforts. Especially if you consider that most people incarcerated in the U.S. were convicted of victimless crimes, hurting no other people except maybe themselves.
Most of the people on the mesa are armed, from six shooter to rifles. They have used them in the past and vowed they would use them in the future if the need arouse. This kind of language generally scares people unfamiliar with the ways of off grid communities and how they prefer to police themselves, rather then calling the government’s jack booted thugs. They hold a council of elders and only come together when something or someone is troubling the community. The rules are easy to follow, or rule, since it comes down to “The Golden Rule”; Treat others as you would like to be treated, love others as you love yourself, etc.
The Golden rule covers the most common crimes people tend to commit, stealing being a big No, No. Overall it was a very interesting documentary . The idea is a good one and people can easily prosper off-grid even though life on the mesa was rather poor. What these people lacked in even the basic essentials, whether it be soap, food, water, etc., their feeling of freedom and independence made up for their poor living conditions.
If some intelligent people got together, with the proper resource and a good piece of land, or even if they bought adjoining plots of land, they could live quite a good life with minimal government interference in their lives. You band together and make a covenant (contract) with the people in your community. You barter among each other, help each other out when need arises, etc. Everyone bands together for security (if the law shows up, armed, everyone in the community shows up, armed, though not in a threatening manner, in order to protect each other from the tyranny that has been growing like a cancer within our country.
Peace and freedom should be the maxim everyone in these communities live by.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Any one have contact info on who to call about this Brutaly insane act! we need to remind them that this WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, (what about mental abuse)& true terrorisim
September 17th, 2008 at 10:45 am
WTF???
September 17th, 2008 at 10:45 am
“The school district put the drill in place to test staff readiness”
Somebody with a weak heart could have died.
I would sue the s--- out of them, (easy money).
September 17th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Lol wish a teacher had been armed and shot the man dead. The exercise would have been a 100% success!
September 17th, 2008 at 10:53 am
“The school district put the drill in place to test staff readiness.”
This is rich. To test staff readiness, for what? Not enough teachers seeing councilors for PTSD at that school?
Oh what a tangled mess we weave when first we practice to deceive.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:00 am
This looks like they ready for another Black Op.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Call 1-800 sue-the-bastards
September 17th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Bunch of Stupid “Sons of bitches”. The teachers & families should sue the bastards who orchestrated this terrorist act. That seems to be our only recourse. It makes me sick!
September 17th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Prepare to reap that which has been sown. All sheep are culled eventually. Live like a sheep, die like a sheep. Parents and teachers have nothing to complain about. They are receiving what everyone has been begging for: the heavy hand of tyranny. Get ready for some interesting times. Truth shall be stranger than fiction.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:10 am
I think it’s funny. I know. I’m sick. But I bet the looks on their faces were priceless.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:13 am
just yesterday 8/16/08 my childrens school was put into “Lock Down” status. The Superintendent of the school sent home a letter that says “lock down” status lasted 10-15 minutes and HAD to happen because “The sheriffs were in pursuit of a youth who chose to run onto our campus as a means of escape. He was apprehended while on our property” the letter goes on to say.. “At no time was there an attempt by the individual to enter any of our buildings. Some children at the elementary school were out for recess and did observe the foot chase down the campus path to the middle/high school. They were immediately directed to enter the school as per our established procedures. While this event was extremely unfortunate, of utmost importance is that out students and staff are safe.” My children did not see it, but were told to get to the back of theie rooms, the teachers then locked the doors and covered the windows near the doors with paper, telling the children “its so bad guys can’t see in”. out of space …I’ll post another comment………..
September 17th, 2008 at 11:22 am
A is A if and only if B is defined by s….. If s is not defined by B then A is a and has no meaning because is is not defined as is but is IS……… rendering mans mind mush
September 17th, 2008 at 11:23 am
this is only the beginniing
September 17th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Try shooting blanks on my watch, and see what happens next.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:29 am
post 23 – Jerk – dude , you’re right . you are sick . but i bet the looks on their faces were priceless too ! seriously , though , as much as i can derive some sick twisted amusement at the thought of teachers who , after all and for the most part , terrorise our children on a daily basis , i have to consider the important aspect of these ” drills ” . the children are innocent and i absolutely guarantee that , at some point , one of them will be so traumatised by what they’ve experienced that they’ll end up shooting up a school . how ironic would that be ?
September 17th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Ok, I’m sure this youth was running from the court house which is just a few blocks from the school. Most likely one of those teens that don’t want to be complacent, about to be taken from his home..have his rights ripped right out from under him. All because he wont go to school or he smokes pot, or what ever the case is. I bet in the end he was just standing up for what he believes in… isnt that what we are supposed to do??
I feel my children were never in any danger yesterday, there should be fire drills, maybe even lock downs. but I really feel that my kids were subjected to this for no other reason then to either scare all of us or make us think they can really handle an emergency.
My husband and I were 16 and 17 when our first daughter was born. During the first few months of pregnancy we were in and out of the very court I mentioned because my husband wanted to quit school and go to GED classes. Court was going to ship him off to foster care AGAIN. My being pregnant didnt change anything, they were going to send me and the baby away too. (I was already out and free from school..only by the skin of my teeth). Anyway it wasnt untill we married that they backed off. So I can say that this kid was PROBABLY doing the RIGHT thing by running!
September 17th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Why drill for something like that? Unless the CIA has programmed someone for your particular area, you are unlikely to have a school shooting.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:58 am
The HELL is loose in your beautiful country
what a pitty
Here in Antwerp, Belgium, right before my door, a street cleaning lady:
“Who has thrown this garbage here?” pointing to some leafs, obviously nicely broomed beneath the side walk
“Next time this will give a heavy fine!”
I said: ‘good, you’re doing fine! Make people spying on eachother, make cowards out of them,
wonderful!”
Europe is next so
September 17th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
oh theres nothing wrong with unannounced sanctioned terrorism of kids and teachers…
I hope the idiots who cooked up the idea end up in guantanamo for it.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
i would find whoever planned that drill and beat them up real bad. REAL BAD YOU f---ING COWARDS

I totaly agree with gregg they need thier ass kicked bad
September 17th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
This is just more conditioning for Bushes police state that we are in the very beginning of and we must all expect these things to increase in frequency and intensity as time goes on.
With the total economic collapse at our doorstep, this can be expected any day now, so prepare yourselves for the worst and hope for the best because Bush and his band of thieves will start WWIII before you know it. If you haven’t yet started storing food, water and ammo, now is the time to start while it is still available. Once this police state becomes “Official” none of the goods necessary for survival will be available so unless you are trained in the art of wilderness survival techniques, you had better get moving ASAP.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Disgusting. What a pity it would have been if one of the teachers decided to neutralize the person “acting” as the shooter.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
hey cool drill
if i was there i totally wouldve f---ed that dude up though aha
September 17th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Bastards. The people responsible for this needs to have someone burst into thir home with a gun and start firing away. See how his family feels if they are still alive afterwards. This is crazy stuff and needs to be dealt with as such. “Talking” isn’t going to do much. Maybe a “nut” will take revenge out on this scumbag and company. How dare they?
September 17th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
The beginning of the end of a free democracy!!!
We’re all targets now!!!
You Tube and Google have started a massive cleanup of any and all videos containing anything having to do with Ron Paul or the ‘patriot’ movement. They’re also canceling out individuals accounts who have posted them.
This is a CRITICLE time in our history!!! They’re not all pulled down yet so if there’s anything you might want to keep, download it now before it’s gone!!!! HELP get this news out!!!! These people are running scared and doing all they can to keep the message from getting out!!!
PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. EVEN IF YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PATRIOT MOVEMENT OR RON PAUL, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING STEPS OF INTERNET CENSORSHIP AND ALL OUT TYRANNY.

I have to agree with joe smith. 9/11 was an inside job.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
wtf is wrong with those idiots!? Scare the hell out of little kids and teachers. Whoever set that up should be in jail, along with everybody that contributed and participated in it!
September 17th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
THAT’S IT! 9/11 was an inside job! This is just a prelude for the real thing(another school shooting rampage)
Anybody that believes that 9/11 was NOT an inside job is a f---TARD! If there is a PEOPLES REVOLUTION we will have many internment camps(concentration camps!) to house these f---TARDS for hard labour. When they are physically disabled from this hard labour we will just EXTERMINATE THEM!!!!
September 17th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
How pathetic, and very deranged. Obviously sadists thought this one up. It’s a complete shame because the next time ( god forbid) the faculty will think it’s a drill and not protect the children. And then it will be a “never cry wolf” situation.
It did not specify “fact” whether there were classes going on at the time, because it never said anything other than teachers under desk crying. Nothing about what they did to save children to the best of their ability which is what they are supposed to do before they themselves hide under a desk.
I don’t blame anyone for being angry they have the right. It’s a disgusting act.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Sounds like their getting the kids ready for the New World Order extermanation.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
This is why the powers that be want the schools to be “zero tolerance – gun free zones”. If one of those teachers had been a conceal cary holder, that dude would have died of lead poisioning.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
I’m absolutely speechless , I find it hard to contemplate the fact that Alex Jones (of freedom force) would allow a story of this magnitude and scope to go posted without contact information , this is an egregious display of misconduct detrimental to the well being of the public , eviscerating domestic tranquility , is our children’s school next ? is yours ? next to endure traumatizing events that can lead to A whole host psychological disorders , by the hand of your elected official’s payed for by your tax dollars.
What was the necessity of this drill ? Was it to determine how terrified people would become during a suprise ambush/murderous rampage. If that was the case we can now all rest assured that people fear being murdered to the point of anxiety , in fact it traumatizes them. Job well done , Phillipsburg School board , to those of you who would like to thank this outstanding institution for their honorable services and deeds of good fortune i would urge you to contact them and thank them personally.
call the School Business Administrator/Board Secretary at 908-213-2601 , be polite but firmly assert your position.
September 17th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I have this video posted on my youtube channel please post it youtube.com/NsaneSk8er007 it’s titled gunman enters school and shoots!it’s a drill!
September 17th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
The people have been turned into weak victims by the system.
The only way to protect yourself and your family is to carry a gun at all times.

I am sure this did a lot of positive things…
I personally would like to see my redndition of this drill.. excpet allow the citizens and capable students be armed and THEN allow some dickweed who thinks they are “training” to bust in with a gun loaded with BLANKS and see the outcome..
NOW THAT WOULD BE A GOOD EXCERSIZE..
This type of action is TERROR.. Nothing less..and that was it’s intent .
There is no way to prepare for a school shooting such as rehearsed here.
This “excersize” has a predicatble outcome from the getgo.. You do not allow people to protect themselves and create an environment where an assailant can walk in any time and “open fire” knowing he/she will not be met with resistance you will get the same results 1000 out of 1000, times.
Insanity… DOing the same thing over and over again expecting different results…
September 17th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
This country is all about synthetic terror; works just as good as the real thing !
September 17th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I have to agree that this is a good thing, some will not agree but well fear can also be good, now they understand what it feels like, and with better training our teachers can react. They will know how to respond better to this type of situation.
I say train the teachers in firearms, hand to hand combat, and let them carry while on property. that way they can take our the person coming in shooting. Sure a few kids may die, but in war there are exceptable losses. The Brits do not put up with terrorists, and when a plane is highjacked, well there will be losses, no talk but ction.
Hell if a kid pulls a gun in school, threatening anyone then shoot the kid.
If someone breaks into you house kill them where they stand, we need to arm and train the people.
good scare the hell out of them, but also train them to deal with situations that have come up in the past

Just Imagine what kind of Psychological Damage the Kids and Adults will have over this Illegal Bulls---!
September 17th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I think the government is completely destroying their credibility here, their true objectives are so transparent since they’re openly admitting that they are using terror against the people. Anyone who thinks this stuff is good is a complete idiot. It is so obvisous that the true intention here is to make people afraid and ready to live in a Police state.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:14 pm

September 17th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
These are people without a shred of common sense and they are teaching your children?

Some of the logic here…
You can imagine what a car accident may or may not be like once it occurs..
Everyone alive in a populated area has saw a car accident.. they have seen the damage, they know the feeling of loss..JUST seeing it happen to someone else… You have seen them on TV..
I have yet to see anyone REHEARSE a car accident.. You can imagine all you want about who would do what when and where.. You can take a limited amount of precautions…
But n the end.. You have LIMITED control.. And I want my limitations to be as much in my favor as I can… Again..If someone is THAT afraid of school shootings.. NBo drill will do anything for anyone in a positive way…
Any fool can come up with a plan to scare people.. Hitler did.

“Naturally the common people don’t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY.”

I have counseled numerous people who have been through real violent events. From the limited information presented I can tell you these people will suffer PTSD due to this “Drill”. What kind of dumb ass would put other human beings through a terrible life altering event such as this? Many of the damaged people are children. How can the people of this school system ever believe their school administrators have the best interest of their children at heart? I can hardly believe the level of evil and heartlessness some people have toward other living things.
We have no less than evil monsters running the government at all levels. Evil has worked its way into government from the local level to the highest level of government in our country. It is time to throw the bums out and arrest and prosecute those who have committed high crimes and misdemeanors in violation of the laws of our country. There is little doubt among the majority of the people we have traitors and criminals leading our country into the abyss at all levels.
I wonder why I didn’t see this story on the MSM at 6:00 or 10:000 PM.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Anyone who had anything to do with this, in any capacity, that knowingly participated should be replaced so they may stand trial and serve thier debt to society.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Lucky for the guy doing the “shooting” that someone didn’t have a concealed carry. Had there been a teacher with a gun under his coat, the “actor” would be in the morgue.
Gee – could that be why they won’t let teachers carry weapons in schools – or is it so the real perpetrators can “Collumbine” schools without being stopped?
This is Government Sponsored Terrorism.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
if this ever happened to my son (a drill of this type), i would raise hell, and make sure that whoever set the “drill” in motion would pay severely. what the hell are people thinking? seriously? you can’t have a drill like this with small children!! i can’t even imagine the amount of terror this inflicted on these small minds. geez! what a bunch of tards!
September 17th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Everyone take this story to your school and ask them if they are gonna do this at your school. Then tell them you want them to sign a CONTRACT saying they will never do this. If they do it -SUE THEM FOR EVERYTHING. I am doing it.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
What freaking morons……Blanks have these little pieces of paper in the end of them that can be deadly if they hit you in the wrong spot at a short distance.I know the odds are slim,but like the lottery,you got to play to win,or lose as the case can be….Why risk even a freak accident for no reason.People are just gonna freak out if this ever happens for real,no matter how many times you practice it.If this had happened at my sons school they would have needed some one with a gun for real to calm my butt down…….Dumbasses…..
September 17th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I’m not buying this. A.J. is a fear mongering CIA operative.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Oh yes, let’s desensitize us to this too! Fear is a good, natural response to keep us alive. True, we need to be prepared – formulate a plan. This? Are you kidding me?

They need to file “Terroristic Threat, against piblic servant” charges(felony) against any and all police officers involved. It meets the law’s definition to the letter. Use their own stupid laws against them(the police).
September 17th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Tell you what boys, look in the news paper or do some investigating and find out who those basterds were and go pay them a visit. Stalk their asses and when they go in to a public place in town bull horn them in front of the general public and show them who it was that traumitized their children. Then scream “GET A ROPE!” and watch the linching begin.
Either that or just roll over you f---ing cowards and let them scare your children and cause them PTSD or any number of psychiatric stress related illnesses. If you dont do something about this, its going to happen again. And that makes you an acomplice!!!
September 17th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
If someone would have blown the (fake) attacker(s) away… Wouldve it been murder or self-defense? Bad Idea. Thats why there called drills folks!!! This is some sort of fear mongering. Lets follow the money trail in this district. I’d bet there’s a huge security (cameras, rent a cops etc) contract on the line.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
that’s genious. Are there any doubts left who the terrorists really are?

“No government can be maintained without the principle of fear as well as duty. Good men will obey the last, but bad ones the former only. If our government ever fails, it will be from this weakness.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1814.
“Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.” Thomas Jefferson

how are unarmed school teachers going to ready themselves against a man with a gun? should they throw books at the shooter? have they been being trained to dodge bullets ‘Matrix’ style? they can do all the shooter drills they want, but there’s no way a simple school teacher is going to be able to ready themselves against a reign of bullets and a wave of pure terror engulfing them and the school children. and also, why are they doing these horrible and uneffective drills at an early learning center? don’t most school shootings get carried out by students themselves? have there been many school shootings at early learning centers carried out by grown men? this drill needs to be pushed into a deep dark chasm and forgotten.

Wow, that’s just sick. What if someone had a heart attack, or did fight back (like they should)? If you get close enough to a gun, even though it is firing blanks, it will blow a hole right through your head, just like your head was the bullet being fired! Those Aholes up there that orchestrated/took part/planned this travesty, they need to do some serious time in prison.
What would such a “drill” show you? We all know what people do during these situations (unless they have a gun)- they die horribly, and in large numbers. There’s not any way to avoid it, except to execute the shooter(s) with precise counter fire. The only real way to deal with an armed attack is with an armed defense (counter attack).

in other news..why does infowars.com want my e-mail address tagged to every comment I post. they dont send me e-mails. perhaps it is so they can get a direct link to our IP addresses? which they can then use to pinpoint our locations? which they can reverse search to find out our names? which they can then use to access our medical/criminal/educational records? ultimately entering us all into a control grid which can be used to find out everything about our personal lives? and eventually assign each of us all of our own barcodes which will all be apart of the microchipped, cashless totalitarian police state the future holds for us. maybe infowars.com isn’t beyond the control of the new world order. maybe, secretly, infowars.com is under the thumb of the illuminati just like everything else on earth is. !! :O dun dun dun.

They should be fired imediatly, whithout any quetion and or debate! Again our government employees on average are a bunch of idiots, stupid as hell and getting worse every day. I would sue the scumbag government school district if lI were one of the parents!!!! They at the least need thier ass kicked, but you know that will never happen get used to communism people you pay the 2nd plank to the commmunist manifesto slave tax every week out of your check (income tax) why are people shocked at this?

This is freaking insane! Their excuse is “The school district put the drill in place to test staff readiness.” Since when is anyone expected to be “prepared” to be shot at??!! What a bunch of freaking morons who ordered this drill! Freaking Police State
September 18th, 2008 at 12:04 am
to bad one of the teachers did not have a gun
September 18th, 2008 at 12:07 am
If I were an armed teacher, I wouldhave fired back with real bullets. I bet it is a disarmament zone, like 99% of schools, and therefore the terrorist knew they wouldn’t be fired on in defense. Scum terrorize children. It’s ok though, because it is just a drill. How about testing security at banks by drilling a robbery with only blanks. Just tell the cops, as you are drowning in your own blood, it was just a test, only blanks.

The feds give them 5,000 to do these drills. So if a handful of the school officials do this on their own then they get to split the 5,000 between each other.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:40 am
here is an example of state sponsored terrorism.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:53 am
The person busting in should be shot. This is a way to terrify and set in kids minds that this stuff is real. Come on. Your child will be kicked out school for bringing a toe nail clipper or a nail file but grown idiots can rush in with a gun and start popping off rounds. I don’t care if they are fake!
Kids can’t wear “hoodies” but this is allowed!

How fortunate for the lone shooter that no-one had a backbone and he didn’t get jumped/beaten down. Try that in my old school where many students concealed items on their person for protection against unchecked gang violence. He would not have had such an easy scare. I imagine it helped that the “Readiness Drill” was run at an early learning center and not a junior high or high school where older students are a bit more able (or likely) to defend themselves. Even a pencil can be a defensive weapon.. and there are a lot of pencil wielding students in a school. This simply shows how scared to react we the people are. Even in situations which threaten our lives!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:23 am
This is absolutely sick. Totally evil. You can’t be doing this kinda sh*t, even if everyone knew beforehand, you can’t be doing this. There’s NO REASON. This is all about mind games, psychological warfare, teaching citizens that they’re weak, helpless slaves. And the whole idea of having a “drill” for this kinda stuff is beyond retarded. It’s like having a drill for when lightning strikes you in the face. The only way you can “prepare” for this kind of stuff is to be alert and to be armed. Which by the way, if I was armed and this goon crashed through my classroom and started terrorizing everyone, with a loaded gun pointed at innocent people, my gut reaction would be to take that son of a bitch down. And in this situation that would mean possibly killing an “innocent” individual. That’s why you don’t play around with this kind of stuff. PERIOD. It doesn’t f*cking matter if you’re doing some bogus “drill,” if you threaten me with a loaded gun, leading me to believe that my life is in danger, you better bloody believe that I’m gonna fight back to the death if necessary. So don’t cry wolf, boy.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:51 am
I have a simple idea. Have “thieves” wielding blazing guns invade the homes of those who authorized and conducted the drill. Let them demonstrate how prepared they are. After all, prominent politicians and community members are abducted and taken hostage. I’m sure the local S.W.A.T. would volunteer.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
You won’t hear about that one on the news. Just more mindless Palin debate.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I’d be interested in hearing just what teacher preparedness this drill was supposed to test. I mean, are they looking at how fast teachers can dive under tables? Teachers have no means to meet a threat like this so what is there to test? I think this drill was to instill a sense of dread and terror. It was, in itself, terrorism. It accomplished the same result as the real thing, only without the dead people. Maybe that’s it: PC terrorism – without any blood.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
lmao that sh*t is so funny , but evil !
September 20th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
It would have been interesting if one of the teachers was armed and killed the guy. That would have proved their readiness.
September 24th, 2008 at 2:25 am
I’ve got an idea.
Let’s write letters to their school board! That is HARDLY the returned strike most would want, but it would let them know that there are people that get pretty fricken pissed about this kind of garbage.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I agree with Tristan #96. I would also like to add that this test was at the expense of these children!? I’m pretty sure AT LEAST one or two of these kids will be scared for life over this “test”.
