The need for active shooter drills is insane.

Since it is a reality today that they are needed, I am not in any way suggesting that we should not have them.

But, WTF is wrong with American society that such drills ARE necessary?

Boomers like myself can remember fire drills and air raid drills. Some regional locations might have had tornado drills. But, except for tornado drills in high risk regions, we never expected that there would be a fire or bomb. They were "just in case" drills.

Now kids not only practice active shooter drills, but can realistically expect it to happen.

1. Yes what does it say about our country that shooter drills are needed?

And what does it say about Americans who think this is normal?

2. Slightly OT, but I've been wondering if that SWAT team

had practiced while the children were there.

3. Insanity

Damn that 2nd Amendment and the right wing’s interpretation of it, as in every person should be able to load up on military grade weapons no questions asked.

Only in America and it’s sick, it’s getting innocent people murdered.
