This must STOP!
NO school until the US Government does SOMETHING to make our schools safe.
NO SCHOOL.
NO CLASSES.
NOWHERE!
IT MUST STOP - NOW!

There is no winning against them when they are despicable killing traitors.

(37,648 posts)I don't know that there is any way to totally protect schools in a free society.
Some schools lock the doors. How did this guy get in? How did he get in un-noticed, carrying a rifle?
It could be that the school was negligent, since it's a safe area usually. The school didn't take precautions, seems like.

(25,279 posts)can't let the Repugs off the hook with only thinking they can lock down schools or have armed guards in every school. No - it must be something more. We have to force them into stricter gun laws.

(5,188 posts)That large a school needs some kind of security. After school is in session, there should be limited, supervised access only.
I graduated in 1974 and we had a parking lot guard we called the Park Narc. To get in or out of the student parking area, you had to show a pass or note from home.

(37,648 posts)You can get OUT, but the door is locked to anyone trying to come in.
Some schools have had drills and given instructions on what to do. In this case, one of the students said she was outside when the fire drill went off, and she heard about six shots. She went BACK INTO the school to find a closet to hide in! Instead of just leaving and going home or somewhere.

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:
"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."
