Teachers Fake Gunman Attack
Anti_Climax writes "Staff members of an elementary school staged a fictitious gun attack on students during a class trip, telling them it was not a drill as the children cried and hid under tables.
It'll be interesting to see what happens to these teachers after the charges brought against students in recent months."
Won't somebody please think of the children.
Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here.
Because in about five seconds Jack Thompson will emerge from his hole and say that the teachers in question trained for this fake attack by playing Doom and Counter Strike.
The days of the digital watch are numbered.
Did anyone *ACTUALLY* think of the children before they decided this was a good idea?!?
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
They could never pull that off in NY... Those kindergarteners don't play that!

Indeed, we are in danger of a stack overflow here. When you read about US politics, you are begin given half the story about the giving of half the story.

Student 1: Hey! Hey folks, wait, it's our math teacher.
Student 2: I know.
Student 3: I've known from the start.
Student 4: I've seen it in the way he walked.
Student 5: Could you cut the chatter and concentrate on kicking?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
After the Virginia Tech massacre I heard many gun advocates say that the attacker would have been stopped sooner if half of the students were armed themselves. I guess the problem of how to discipline these incompetent teachers would already be solved if these kids had real guns of their own.
faking attacks is good training in case of a real attack. when i was in the army we were the victims of mock ambushes and raids all the time in the field... often at night or when we stopped to piss. it taught us to always be on alert. my second week of basic training i learned to stop pissing mid-stream. by the 6th week my default reaction to being awakened was to choke whatever woke me up. even now that i have been out of the army for 10 years i occasionally wake up from nightmares and look around for my M16. i am sure these kids have received the same benefits, and in their formative years no less.

At my school, there were never fire drills. There was "dust in the ventilation systems" (read: kids smoking in the bathrooms) often enough to not need any.

I was not aware that carrying a semi-automatic weapon made you immune to taking a desk to the head. Thanks for clearing that up.
You can't take the sky from me...
In Soviet Russia, teachers shoot YOU!
