A couple of fat kids could have stopped Sandy Hook massacre

[SlyPokerDog]

According to this woman:

There was not a single adult male on the school premises when the shooting occurred. In this school of 450 students, a sizeable number of whom were undoubtedly 11- and 12-year-old boys (it was a K–6 school)...

Some of the teachers managed to save all or some of their charges by rushing them into closets or bathrooms. But in general, a feminized setting is a setting in which helpless passivity is the norm. Male aggression can be a good thing, as in protecting the weak — but it has been forced out of the culture of elementary schools and the education schools that train their personnel. Think of what Sandy Hook might have been like if a couple of male teachers who had played high-school football, or even some of the huskier 12-year-old boys, had converged on Lanza.

Cops and everybody else encourage civilians not to try to defend themselves when they are criminally assaulted. This is stupid advice. There are things you can do. Run is one of them, because most shooters can’t hit a moving target. The other, if you are in a confined space, is throw things at the killer, or try a tackle.

I think a couple of fat kids could have stopped the guy.....if they both had AR-15's. Bare handed? I think that's asking a lot of a 6th grader.

Parents of sick children need to be realistic about them. I know at least two sets of fine and devoted parents who have had the misfortune to raise sons who were troubled for genetic reasons beyond anyone’s control. Either of those boys could have been an Adam Lanza. You simply can’t give a non-working, non-school-enrolled 20-year-old man free range of your home, much less your cache of weapons. You have to set boundaries. You have to say, “You can’t live here anymore — you’re an adult, and it’s time for you to be a man. We’ll give you all the support you need, but we won’t be enablers.” Unfortunately, the idea of being an “adult” and a “man” once one has reached physical maturity seems to have faded out of our coddling culture.

the fuck?

So much for sending husky 6th graders after the gunman, Sandy Hook is only K-4.

I'm absolutely certain that an armed female teacher would have had a better chance taking him down than an armed male teacher. Insert lioness with her cubs metaphor/analogy here.

Unarmed, it would take a hari kari squad.

As a husky 6th grader, I would have stopped all the bullets ala The Marix

For some reason I'm not finding this thread amusing.

A couple husky twelve year old boys? What an idiotic thing to suggest.

A mixture of testosterone poisoning and cordite snorting.

Male teachers have been squeezed out for looking at dirty pictures by those dirty manhating unions. The remedy is to replace them with 6-foot tall ostriches who perform tae kwon do kicks.
