Parkland Now Leading the Call to Arm Teachers

The left claims that they love expertise. They hide behind specific climate scientists in order to push draconian policy. It might be a strong stance if they were at all consistent, but the truth is that objective knowledge and skill have never been part of the qualifications for the left.

In their eyes, an expert is someone who fits their fluid moral code. An expert is someone who drinks the Kool Aid. Most of all, an expert is someone who is victim enough to automatically gain the moral high ground. Only victims are allowed to speak and have opinions. Well, that philosophy just blew up in their collective faces. A panel of Parkland victims just recommended that the state of Florida arm teachers.

The Panel

When Parkland was struck by such an immense tragedy last February, few people had realistic visions of how to move forward. Students protested, parents vilified, politicians squabbled. In the wake of all of that confusion, a 14-person panel was arranged to fully investigate the shooting and make recommendations. The panel consists entirely of Floridians who are closely tied to the community. They had varying degrees of expertise, and they put their diverse skills into the task.

Several months later, they released a report that exceeds 400 pages. It covers every possible detail in as much scrutiny as you can imagine. Despite the report’s length, there are few concrete suggestions for change. The one call that stands out is a demand to allow teachers to volunteer for additional training and screening in order to be allowed to conceal a gun on campus.

The panel voted in favor of this motion 13 to 1, showing that the people closest to the Parkland shooting are convinced that more guns in the school are the best defense for innocent students.

Qualifications

Liberals long ago abandoned logical scrutiny. Instead, they attack the emotional validity of people who counter their claims. In this case, the Parkland panel is suggesting something they can’t allow, so you can expect the outrage to come full steam. As sad as it is, multiple members of the panel lost loved ones in the Parkland shooting. They have as much vested interest in seeing successful reform as anyone. In fact, their “emotional qualifications” will dramatically dwarf those of the liberals who are coming after them.

For those who base their vetting on something more than who is the biggest victim, the panel has actual qualifications as well. Multiple members work in law enforcement and safety analysis. They helped review the specific policies in place with the Parkland school system and the Broward County Sheriff’s Department.

The Whole Report

With such a large report, it’s difficult to imagine that there was only one concrete suggestion. There were a few, and we’ll get to one of them in a moment, but one of the biggest takeaways from the report is what the panel chose not to support. They looked into additional safety measures for schools that include bulletproof glass, additional metal detectors, a stronger lockdown procedure and even smoke screens for the hallways. Ultimately, the panel decided that those measures wouldn’t really save student lives in a repeat scenario. Only hot lead is a reliable means to stop an active shooter.

There was a second call to action in the report that is worth noting. The panel gave a scathing review to the Broward Sheriff’s Department. They criticized standing policy for giving deputies an excuse not to engage the shooter. They called for a complete overhaul of standard procedure and a retraining of personnel to ensure that they are ready to engage shooters and save lives despite the danger.

Lastly, they called for a suspension of Sheriff Scott Israel. This was clearly a leadership problem, and he was the man whose deputies failed to engage a man shooting up a school. There is blood on his hands, and the Parkland panel is not letting him hide from that ugly truth.

Let’s put this in perspective. For the better part of a year, liberals have been parading Parkland students around and telling us that only victims have a right to speak. Meanwhile, the people who want real change investigated the shooting as thoroughly as possible. The findings of this group of liberal-approved victims is that more guns are the solution to gun violence. That has to sting.

  1. I am glad the Parkland study came up with a reasonable solution. Son far, nothing hat the left has done or recommended in any situation is worth our attention. All they want is for their agenda to guide all that is against our nation and our common sense. Socialism stinks anywhere it has been established, all they do is accuse us of what they are relentlessly to confuse us and make us feel bad. Socialism=communism (no difference) has been responsible for more deaths than Nazism, fascism or any other form of oppressive regime together. Yet, everyone blasts those two and socialism=communism runs unscathed. Time to wake up people, we are talking about the most EVIL form of government anywhere on earth. They penetrated all schools at all levels using socialist teachers/professors. and it shows by the vast amount of millennials coming out socialists. The main universities are mined with them. The entertainment industry is incredibly full of them, the media, the same. Follow the thinking? It’s working for them. It’s about time, we all regroup and fight them off the same way they do. By this I don’t mean a war with weapons, I mean to do exactly what they do. Heavy, relentless propaganda with movies, pictures, seminars, and y’all know the rest. Ah, OUT WITH SCOTT ISRAEL, HE IS AS LEFT AS YOU CAN HAVE.

  2. I’m glad to see some common sense for a change. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with s gun on site, ready to act. Sheriff Israel must go and his officers must be retrained or gone. Those officers are paid to engage and stop criminals. There are individuals who have the background, training, and the desire to protect themselves and their students. Those individuals should be allowed to do so. These “gun free zones” do nothing to protect anyone. They should be known as what they really are “free fire zones”.

  3. I hope we the people have not been fooled by Kavanaugh – and is not a
    Roberts

  4. Exactly how do you stop an active shooter…?
    SHOOT BACK!
    The signs that indicate a ” GUN FREE ZONE” actually mean a “TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT”.
    Please, wake up all you whining Liberals. Accept reality.

  5. Have freaks like Hogg put out to pasture! He is a big mouth with a little brain. His mommy and poppa put him up to this…she was CNN and he a FBI …swamp ridden pests!

    1. Hogg’s parents never gave him any attention so now he’s just looking for attention even if it’s negative attention it still puts his name in the msm. If the msm would stop reporting on him he would be forgotten real fast.

  6. That cowardly cop and ignorant Sheriff israel who thinks his crap doesn’t stink should be held accountable for the deaths of those kids and staff.

  7. FINALLY, a group with intelligence instead of emotion emerges. If we outlaw guns only criminals will have them. Don’t understand that logic? If not, you are really stupid.

    1. PLEASE FORWARD to the NRA so they will do some action themselves…

  8. Common Sense is the new By-word since Trump & I really like this idea as One way of opposing
    the murdering by the godless…
    I notice the Congress that want to disarm the innocent will except themselves as THEY have
    armed bodyguards & sentinels wherever they go…Mostly at Voters’ expense!

  9. I would hope that Governor Scott fires Scott Israel prior to leaving office for the Senate. This is not the first serious malfeasance in office issue Israel is faced with (see the tampering of evidence in the BSO shooting of an unarmed man carrying a pellet rifle over his shoulder). The Parkland shooting occurred on Governor Scott’s watch and was the predictable result of Sheriff Israel’s pursuit of Obama policies. Governor Scott should not leave this mess to incoming Governor DeSantis to deal with.

  10. I said it long ago that isreal was part of parklands problems. He is an obama-clinton cronie who thinks he himselve is above the law. He too blamed the gun store owner for selling cruz the firearm, while he ignored all the warning signs himself. The sheriffs office were called to cruzs foster parents home no less then 18 time in the year leading up to the shootings. Cruz could have easily been put in a mental health ward for a time which would have disqualified him from being able to purchase a firearm. But instead isreal used the obama pretext of therapy over arrest at the juvenile level. The outcome proves it didnt work. Now isreal and his deputy must be held responsible for their inactions to save lives in their community.

  11. lots of mistakes were made by a lot of adults & kids died. some nasty LEFT LEANING POLITICS FOR MONEY was revealed to the public. question is WILL anything actually change for the good. time will tell.

  12. The anti gun politicians and their pawns who blindly believe their lies will never accept that having responsible trained people that can be trusted armed and present when a criminal starts to commit such a crime will work to save lives. Despite being proven time and again when such a person was present and stopped such crimes within seconds while the police were still minutes away.

    They also conveniently ignore the fact that most if not all successful “mass” shootings were at a place that DID NOT ALLOW guns. In at least one not even on security guards.

    The fact is if a law SAVED lives just by existing then there would be no murders, thefts, etc. because they are ALREADY banned by law. Targeting the different tools misused by criminals to commit their crimes will not prevent or stop any crime all it does is expand the area the criminals feel is safe for them to commit their crimes.

    In that one church shooting a while back the criminal actually CONFESSED that a nearby school was his original target but he SAW AN ARMED GUARD so he decided to attack the church because he knew the pastor did not allow anyone to be armed. We can take from that had he saw an armed guard at the church or knew the pastor did allow people to be armed he would have looked for yet another target that was a “GUN FREE ZONE” (anyplace that prohibits law abiding people from being armed)
