All these comments about a "cowardly" armed School Resource Officer shows why....

5. Okay, I will repost my comment made elsewhere as it pertains...but will bold a different part

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 (armed teachers in this case) would rush into certain death?

Would you then put teachers on trial for failure?

armed teachers is a nutty idea
