In reply to the discussion: Absolutely no excuse for fleeing the scene [View all]poboy2
(2,078 posts)First of all, I am inclined to say 'I called it' (the guy fleeing/no-show).
I had suspected it the very next day in fact. I did not post or comment as such because I KNOW this place would attack me for this speculation. Turned out to be correct though.
The above is not posted to say I told you so or 'called it', but to say WHY I suspected it and it gets to the fundamental point.
The fact that he was not counted among the dead was the main reason for my suspicions.
So, I assumed, and I think its a safe assumption, that if he did go in, he'd be among the dead.
I initially couched this suspicion in the scenario that 'would an armed teacher be liable for 'cutting and running' from a hailstorm of bullets? If the lunatics arm the teachers, is this failure a prosecutable offense? Whats the accountability? Same goes for this guy.
He's got to be fired of course, but how many among us would rush into certain death?
