throw this out there, you know, the mass shooter situation.
Okay, if you have an untrained and unarmed group
near a mass shooter, they're not there to take out the shoot.
They have no reason to be in the kill zone, okay?
And we keep keeping these kids in the kill zone.
Like, who comes up with this plan?
You know, oh, we're gonna barricade in the kill zone.
Go fuck yourself, you know?
If all of a sudden 400 kids start running
in different directions and don't stop for a mile,
these people can't hit a moving target.
You know, just tell the kids, go run home
in the opposite direction of the gunfire.
Get them out of the kill zone.
You know, we leave them in the kill zone
and then we create containment of the kill zone
and the shooter just runs them back.
I mean, this happens over and over and over and over again.
There is no reason, and I think it comes down
to just this inability to, I think it's the Americans' way
of, oh, we're just gonna stop everything,
be in denial and rely on the other people to save us.
We've gotta get out of that mentality.
It's nobody's job to save us but ourselves.
And you know, if you're not going,
do I think arming schools and locking schools down
is a thing to do?
Well, yeah, that's maybe, maybe that's not the answer.
Maybe there's a hybrid out there.
But I think then we start creating
this institutionalized perspective of education by kids.
You know, they end up going into a safe area
that really looks like a prison.
You know, I don't think that's necessarily
the positive thing anyway, especially since it's not,
you know, this is something that obviously is tragic
but it's not happening in every city and every town
and every state across the country.
And I think if we just start, my point is,
I don't care who you are, whether you're a young person,
an old person, whether you're a prior military,
whether you are a police officer, whether you're a doctor,
if you are unarmed and untrained,
your only friend is distance from the shooter.
That's it, you've got to create distance
and get the fuck out of the kill zone.
But I don't know why we keep teaching these kids
to stay in the kill zone.
It's an act of denial.
So let's dive into this a little bit.
So one of the things that we know is that
we instantly go to, let's do something
about the access to guns.
And then you and I know, like, hey, it's not,
you're behind the problem, right?
The planner has all the advantage.
Timothy McVeigh killed more kids than any school shooter has
and he didn't use a gun.
He just blew the fuck out of the U-Haul truck
with a bunch of poop and rocks
and ignition source, basically.
He made a homemade bomb.
If you chose to, and you said,
and again, because we have this prison mentality
with our schools, if you chose to,
you pick the right time of day,
you go rent a truck from Home Depot,
just drive it into the front of the school.
I promise you it'll be sensational.
And you will be like, now we have to push the gate further
out if you want to cause a ruckus in an airport.
And these things, these are known problems.
You want to cause a ruckus in an airport.
You don't have to blow a plane up.
They just walk in, anybody can walk into the airport.
Anybody can walk up to security.
And especially if they're willing to die
and just right there, I'll lock bar right there in the line.
You go to Vegas on Sunday afternoon
when everybody's leaving, boy, oh boy,
you would devastate.
So it's not the means.
It's the fact that we don't have access to stop this person.
And so when we look at that,
and the other thing is how much of a problem is this?
The law diminishing returns is a real thing.
So yes, school shootings are horrible,
but it's a cultural thing.
And you can't reliably legislate that out of existence
because it's already illegal to do.
You're just going to make it more and more illegal.
And that, well, maybe that's the path.
