The first lawsuit is in the works. $100 million for a 6 year old survivor. The comments again show the absolute cluelessness of our society.

There is an interesting argument that since the state forbids any normal, caring adult to carry weapons to defend their charges, the state is responsible when wrongdoing occurs on school grounds.

Way back when in public HS (on another state) we had one armed guard (state police) and there was never an incident...and I can even say that he never had to pull his gun out to make a stop (even as fat as he was and with the thugs that we had).

Sheesh,
Back when I was in public HS, we carried Buck Folding hunters on our belts, shotguns or rifles in the trunk/back windows of pick ups for before & after school hunting and shooting trips.
We didn't need no armed guards.

Roger, I'm tracking!!! But I grew up in the city and that was it!! It wasn't 'till I joined the MIL that I learned about that.

"Back in my day" we just mostly had our fists and wits and I went to the "Dangerous Minds" (see imdb) HS in California. Our one security guy was not armed and is still the butt of jokes.

^^This. Our senior year, in the spring right before graduation the senior sponsor's, hosted a Tea for the girls and a trap shoot for the guys. These events took place during the school day.

So yeah, maybe the parents might want to be able to afford to send their kids to a fancy school with armed guards, since the politicians that send their kids to private schools with armed guards think the "common folk" don't need them.

I would normally argue against these sorts of lawsuits but in this case I support the family. We send our children to school and expect them to be safe. If a school creates policies they claim will make our children safer and their "safer" practices result in a significant loss of life that could have been avoided with a few preventative measures that school should be liable for any and all loss their irresponsible policies caused.

That's cute... I hope someone sues a school that your taxes pay for. Then I hope they win. Just so you can say you did a good thing by paying for their lawsuit with your taxes...
