I don't think it's too hard to believe that they did. In the world of multiple "expectations" and procedures on how to handle something to avoid going into litigation... regardless of training level I can see people freezing up, or flat out refusing to "do their job" in order to satisfy those above them that want it done a certain way. Or the whole "pass the buck" thing of waiting until the boss gets there. Seeing some of the vitriol out there and the way people treat each other... I can see it happening every day. So sad.

I just read yesterday the Idaho County Sheriff's Office is starting to train staff/teachers of some schools in towns near here to carry guns during school hours. The first group of armed teachers will consist of about 30 volunteers with more classes to follow.

I hope I never hear about another school shooting. But if I do I hope I hear about a teacher shooting a person that was hell bent on killing as many people as possible and ending up the only one dead. Knowing the news it might have already happened 10 times this month but they don't report it. So even if its just a quick sound byte before a commercial break and the weather it will be nice to hear.

Works for me. Society doesn't need him. No need to pay for his care and feeding.

Lets hope he gets shot trying to escape. Save years of appeals.

And if he is convicted and then sentenced to death, don't look for an execution in less than 20 years. Just think about how many attorneys will be well paid by the taxpayers during the process. I like to think of this as being the rape of the taxpayers after the death of the innocents.

More likely killed by a fellow Lifer and I’d have zero problems with that.

36 men with .308/.30-06s could have that list checked off by noon.

Let the other convicts tag, bag, and clean up the mess.
