as much as I would like the kids to have a chance and for this scenario to be viable, I dont think a teacher can find the shooter in time and even if he does, I would not bet on him winning...

I just said that I don't know how I feel about teachers having gun. When the Coral Springs officers arrived, there were 4 Broward County cops cowering outside. Why even have officers patrol schools if they are not equipped to handle such situations? Was this guy just a decoration? As I've also said, the first responders have said they thought the shooter was outside. I find that difficult to believe but, they should be given the opportunity to present their side. Coral Springs is incredibly upset with Broward County right now. There have been protests and, public condemnation from Coral Spring authorities on how Broward County handled this. Then, then Broward County's sheriff, openly through all of the blame on the school's resident deputy and, suspended him without pay. All the while, on the sheriff's watch, multiple warnings
from multiple sources were ignored. There is not excuse that this kid was not arrested or baker acted, long before this. The truth is still coming out. It would be incredibly good if people could let this happen and, stop jumping on political band wagons. We should have had solutions 19 years ago, after the first mass school shooting in Columbine. Answers are there. People just have to stop being so political about it.
