1. Read the first hand accounts of survivors. Virginia Tech is one I suggest.
The reality is, all one can really share, is their experiences and observations.
So one would be wise to investigate and verify for themselves, thus first hand accounts will offer more true and accurate insights, than MSM, Movies, Video Games and Internet BS.
2. Society started being dumbed down by LBJ and The Great Society. Now I do not know if any civil actions have been taken against any school boards, still I have to wonder if class action suits would assist in changing the "submit" and "no weapons" on campus policies.
I grew up in an era with some heavy stuff going on, and we carried knives to school, and guns too.
We did not have problems.
It was when society allowed itself to be controlled and manipulated with restrictions, problems occurred.
3. Yes. I have been on campus, more than once, when there was a shooting, a bomb threat, or some other "serious situation".
No, I am not going to share. There was time I have, not anymore, not on public forum.
Maybe in private with someone that really wants it.
Instead, folks need to investigate, verify for themselves. Even if it costs them money, like taking a class , or getting private lessons, or expense to go see, or have someone come in to speak qualified , or a survivor.
4. You teach people how to treat you.
The Great Dumbed Down Society has taught criminals campuses are easier targets.
Just as it has other "restricted" areas.
Now our fellow members in the UK, and similar, tried to share with those in the USA, but instead members ignored, or posted "move to the US".
The same things are happening in the US, in regard to gun and knife laws. The same playbook is being used.
Members have taught many instructors, qualified professionals, and members to not participate on THR, and other forums.\
The reality is, one cannot change people places and things, the only thing they can change, is themselves.
Another reality is, folks will not change, until something tragic happens to them, or someone close to them.
There are many levels of "hitting bottom" , it is your choice as to how low you choose to go, before your butt will not bounce anymore.
You can investigate, verify, seek quality information from survivors, and professionals, or you can stick your head in the sand.
Or you could do more harm sitting in your armchair and quarterback from the safety behind a monitor, and spew bull chips from your figment of an imagination.
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage? -Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
