Newsflash:  A judge has ruled that the school in Broward County, the spineless security officer, nor the police were responsible in the shooting deaths of kids (and what gave us that prick David Hogg).

Judge Rules Cops, School Had No Responsibility to Protect Students in Stoneman Douglas Shooting

This might come as a shock to many.  But your shock is misplaced.

The police as a general rule are NOT under any legal obligation to save your life during a criminal event.  They are there to largely investigate crime and hopefully as a deterrent to the crime occurring in the first place.  But once someone, say, breaks into your house, it matters not if the police station is miles away or yards away.  They do not have a legal obligation to save your life.  That is on you.  Hence, the catchy phrase about when seconds count, remember, the police are just minutes away.  And the picture with it is of a pistol.

Likewise, the school is not legally obligated to protect student’s lives.  Even though they are a government agency (since taxpayer funds keep schools churning out indoctrinated Liberals), unless the students are prisoners or mental patients, it isn’t their responsibility to keep them from harm in a “mass shooting”.

So about now, some of you are seeing contradiction in what I say when you look at security guards in banks.  But even there, the guard is there to protect the money not the bank’s customers.  He is a visual deterrent to the potential robber.  That some banks get robbed anyway goes a ways towards telling you how good a security guard he made.

No, sending your kids to public schools is at their own risk.  And they are forbidden to bring weapons to protect themselves.  Every day is running a gauntlet sanctioned by the state.  It is as if they are playing a lottery with your kids’ lives.

This is one reason so many parents who can, send their kids to private schools that have armed guards.  These guards are hired, trained, and armed specifically for the purpose of child safety.  No one ever shot up a school where the politicians send their kids, have they?

One thing I will concede.  My arguments above describe how these people and agencies are legally exonerated.  But there is a moral aspect.  The police are not legally bound to protect you.  So you can’t sue them in case a family member is killed.  But you’d be hard pressed to find an officer worth a shit who doesn’t feel morally obligated to save you.  One characteristic that sets police and Soldiers apart from the average citizen is that they run towards gunfire.

Scot (with one T) Peterson, and the Broward County School Board are just pussies.
