Fox News Teaches Kids How To Run Toward Gunfire, What Could Go Wrong?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING RIGHT NOW?

Fox News Teaches Kids How To Run Toward Gunfire, What Could Go Wrong?


image:
Teach us how to fight the gunmen, Elisabeth.



Did we not just finish yelling at Elisabeth “Shouldn’t You Be Leaving Now?” Hasselbeck for doing something stupid on the “Fox & Friends” television program? Yes, yes we did. But apparently she wasn’t done, because during that same broadcast, Captain Brain Squad invited krav maga instructors on to show kids how to run headlong into gunfire and beat up active shooters who have, you know, big guns.

Because really, kids, you wanna get made fun of in gym class for being a pussy who hides? Hasselbeck notes, “In an active shooter situation, five seconds can mean the difference between life and death. But there are some things that you can do, and your children can do, to make a difference.”

. . . . .

1:30: Young krav maga children explain they have drills at school where they learn how to hide and protect themselves, which, as Media Matters sexplains, is what you are SUPPOSED to do:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has specific guidelines on how to act when one’s life is threatened in a shooting situation. The first objective is to evacuate, and if you cannot evacuate, objective two is to find a hiding place: “If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you.”

Sounds like that’s based on tried and true facts, so it’s probably a liberal conspiracy.
2:00: Fuck that noise, Hasselbeck wants a lesson in Bum-rushing Shooters, For Kids!
2:30: Completely serious demonstration of how a child can just come up behind a shooter and disarm him (OR HER, as we are A Ally) in two seconds.
