This Is America, where egress/ingress control is easier than gun control. -- nm - Beryllium May 18, 14:02 2

  - If a school has 20 doors, and the US government is being lobbied by a Russian-funded terror cell, what’s cheaper - changing the government’s mind? - Beryllium May 18, 14:12
Those kids are going to rip these guys some new ones -- nm - just oblique May 18, 13:19
Chain all the doors. No, wait, cops are coming! Unchain the doors! -- nm - Joe Louis Clark May 18, 13:17 1
- *finger to nose* My thoughts exactly. -- nm - Baron Breynolds May 18, 13:32
So, let’s make it harder for kids to escape? Sounds reasonable. -- nm - znufrii May 18, 13:16 32
- my daughter's High School has somewhere in the vicinity of 20+ doors. - groiny May 18, 13:26 24
  - We drove around an amazing school that looks like hogwarts. It had 52 doors. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 18, 14:36 1
    - my kids getting gunned down in school keeps me up at night...... - groiny May 18, 14:38
  - Until there's a fire. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 18, 13:55 3
    - how many children has been killed in school fires in the last, oh, 30 years? -- nm - groiny May 18, 13:56 2
      - Not many. Because there's so many exits. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 18, 13:59 1
        
        or better sprinkler systems in schools...... - groiny May 18, 13:59
  - a feature unique to American schools! -- nm - Reagen May 18, 13:39 17
    - clearly this shooter was not aware of the walkout theme. -- nm - groiny May 18, 13:41
    - Oh come *on*... -- nm - Roman Coliseum guard trainee May 18, 13:41
    - I don't know what to tell you....... - groiny May 18, 13:40 14
      - You guys will sacrifice absolutely everything instead of fixing the one thing that would stop it. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 13:42 11
        
        if they were going to fix it that way, it would have been done already -- nm - groiny May 18, 13:43 10
        
        Indeed, there's got to be dozens of ineffective things to try first. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 13:47 9
        
        gotcha, so do nothing easy in the meantime and just wait for all the guns to disappear. - groiny May 18, 13:49 8
        
        "easy" - Reagen May 18, 13:50 7
        
        reducing entryways into a school is an easy way to maybe make it more difficult, yes. - groiny May 18, 13:52 6
        
        with zero other effects! It's the perfect answer! -- nm - Reagen May 18, 13:54 5
        
        ok smart guy, what can they do that will actually work then? - groiny May 18, 13:55 4
        
        "What can they do other than the thing that would work?" - Reagen May 18, 13:56 3
        
        jesus man, you know as well as I do that it is not going to happen. - groiny May 18, 13:57 2
        
        No. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 13:57 1
        
        ok, well, we will have this conversation again in a month when the next school shooting happens. -- nm - groiny May 18, 13:58
      - Usually it makes sense to try something before deciding it doesn’t work. -- nm* - znufrii May 18, 13:42 1
        
        seriously? - groiny May 18, 13:42
- well, if you keep the bad guys out, they won't need to escape. -- nm - groiny May 18, 13:20 6
  - They're still trying to lift the fire marshall's jaw up off the floor. -- nm - pmb May 18, 13:21 5
    - Right - if it's a real fire and not just a drill..... :/ -- nm - Meg May 18, 13:22 3
      - they have these newfangled contraptions called one way doors...... -- nm - groiny May 18, 13:23 2
        
        so if there is a fire, the firemen can't get in? -- nm - decline May 18, 13:24 1
        
        well, I give up then. Make the whole school accessible. - groiny May 18, 13:25
    - lol - groiny May 18, 13:22
