    The "preparedness" that these "drills" allegedly provide can't possibly justify frightening/conditioning kids in this way, given the still-infinitesimally-low odds that they'll ever be subject to a mass shooting. Sick society.https://twitter.com/HeatherHintze/status/970834967419736065 …

        Especially considering that all of the school shooters have been former students, so you're instructing them what the countermeasures will be...

        Cruz manipulated the school's drill system to maximize his killing efficiency.

        "The shooter is a middle aged dark male" did I hear that right? Is this an actual fucking thing? What is wrong with these people?

        OMFG. I can’t decide which is worse – that these drills exist, or that there are people actually applauding them.

        Just read about the trauma one teacher witnessed in her elementary class in one of these drills. It will be no surprise how Depression, anxiety, and PTSD will be pervasive in their generation as adults.

        0.55 per 1 million students risk of being a mass shooting victim is on par with dying from a snake bite in the USA

        But gun control will make us feel safer, even while authorities actively try to terrorize us.

        I have the easiest solution to this that does not tip off a game plan to would-be shooters or cause anxiety in impressionable youth that the world is a scary place. Train the Adults. Tell Kids to Follow Adults Carefully When They Hear PineappleSnorkle.

        Any kid who is frightened by something like this is, by definition, neurotic.
