As long as the shooter didn't see me, I would have the advantage armed with rocks. I could throw them 100mph with pinpoint accuracy. My high school coaches begged me to join the baseball team but I found baseball to be rather boring, I much preferred to put on rock throwing exhibitions for the kids at my school. If there was a rock-throwing hall of fame I would have been selected years ago.

Might be surprised. The kids are pretty pissed by this.

It was a JOKE.

Turning schools into war zones is a really bad idea--not the answer to military grade weapon violence.

If we can't solve this, the US is doomed and is so far behind other countries that it doesn't really matter if people go to school.

Geez, whatever happened to brains in this country?

Move to Syria if you want to watch people shoot each other.

If you read the original article they said that they already installed devices to reinforce the classroom doors. This is only one last ditch effort after all else fails. They also mentioned that they did have one armed security guard; hopefully he would be as effective as the guard was in the Maryland HS shooting recently.

So if the kids are not allowed to carry guns and they have a locked door separating themselves from the shooter; the rock in their hands is more like a security blanket. They have no place to run. It would empower them and give them the possibility to protect themselves and their classmates. I would dare anybody to stand and let 30 kids throw rocks at you. We have seen over and over again where police in riot gear are sent to the hospital by protestors with rocks. In war this could be called suppressive fire.

Apparently everything is pissing them off... arming teachers, buckets of rocks, more guards, oh... but confiscating weapons and burning the 2nd amendment would solve everything.

Nothing like the few dictating to the many, and teenagers no less.

BTW, David Hogg has turned out to be a dream pawn of the gun grabbers. That profane rant he went on made him look like someone who should never ever ever ever be the one to decide how others should live.

His parents must be proud!

Proof that an 18 year old who has been given far more voice than he/she deserves will abuse that power.

Still better than killed.
What? You think you can't be killed with a rock? How do you think they killed people during Bible days?

Good grief...as soon as the very first .223 round is squeezed off, every person in the room not holding a weapon would be on the floor.

The first thing that would happen if an armed individual entered a classroom would be mass panic, from 99.999999999999999999% of teachers down to the kids. Kids, by the way, who cry if there's a lockdown drill. That's high school.

The next thing that would happen would be the individual would do what he came to do. There would be no "distribution" of river rock to throw at him.
Okay so the so called experts who are telling people to throw chairs, desks, books, etc. are "kidding" or misinformed?

Let them know that.
