Yeah, I had thought that would be the last movie where life imitates art, but we're almost there in that case.Or the movie Idiocracy.

'At this point' I would vote for a president Camacho over a President Biden.That’s just a documentary at this point.
Yep. I feel like we’re living in the before times of the novel Starship Troopers.
Yeah, and the Israeli government isn't the U.S. government, and they won't ever be the same. We have a separation of church and state, so ideologies in government will be different.
Israel has to deal with terrorism and civil unrest on a daily basis in a far smaller area than the U.S. Certainly I can understand Israel's reasons for their security measures, but is that really how it should be here?
2) Lock the fucking doors.
IMO I think the person who left the door blocked open should be charges will accessory to murder.
They seemed to have kept out LE from entering the school room.When have locks ever stopped criminals?
No more than I want to see another 3,000+ people killed by airplanes, but that doesn't mean I'm in favor of the Patriot Act.Would you rather see another nineteen students and two teachers killed? More gun control? Other useless measures?
Their security methods work, and would work better here than "gun free zone" signs and cheap locks!

The price we would pay is too high for something that doesn't and will not ever exist.I don't keep that signature at the bottom of my posts by Benjamin Franklin because I think it's cool, I truly believe that.
Freedom and security aren’t compatible. I’ll pass on Israeli style freedom.
Yet people argue we need to tighten our borders. What's the difference?
Don’t know why other people argue things and I’m not going to try to understand them or make an argument for them.
If you want to believe it, mere policy changes by Trump resulted in huge drops in illegal immigration. Meanwhile, HUMANS chose to ignore policies to keep exterior doors closed. Those HUMANS also chose to ignore their own security policies and just about every common sense thing we know about how to counter an active shooter.
And as you and the Israelis well know, you can harden targets as much as you want but that does nothing to prevent an attack and given enough determination, does nothing to mitigate an attack either.
I respect your right to your position, but I don’t agree with it.
ETA, we could stop drunk driving by summarily executing people that try to get into their car after having a drink or too, but that’s just as idotic a concept in my mind even though drunk drivers kill more people than kids who get killed in a school shooting.
Expectation management. I’m saying people use the word harden and 1) don’t know what it means in practice, and 2) based on 36 months as a DOD rep to USSS Special Operations Division for POTUS protection, the most effective ‘hardening’ is keeping doors locked.… Are you saying we should do nothing because it won't do any good??? …
