We Need To Protect Our Children
First Clackamas and now this. A shooting in newtown Connecticut at an elementary school and the reports now say at least 26 are dead including 18 children. The numbers may be higher. The murderer is dead and his body lies inside the school at this point. The 20 year old killer has been identified as Adam Lanza of Hoboken, New Jersey and that the body of his mother has been found at a home in New-town. First…say a prayer for all of the families in that town…those who’ve lost children and parents…for the staff and the teachers at that school. Ask yourself this…are your kids safe…and does the school your kids go to keep them safe. Are there things that would make them safer. We guard city hall and celebrities and banks and big buildings with armed guards…yet most schools don’t get that kind of protection until the day after something like this happens. Israel used to have Palestinian terrorists attack schools with guns…until they started arming the staff and the teachers. It worked there. But as a society many people recoil at the thought. Let me suggest something to you…if the building you work in is guarded by folks who can stop a killer like the one who did this deed…why isn’t your son or daughter’s school protected as well?
