Rocks?
We've heard some weird ones before, but this might take the cake:
- There’s a rocky controversy when it comes to school safety in Schuylkill County.
The superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District is in the spotlight after telling lawmakers in Harrisburg his students protect themselves against potential school shooters with rocks.
“Every classroom has been equipped with a five-gallon bucket of river stone. If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance into any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full students armed with rocks and they will be stoned,” said Dr. David Helsel.
How very.....biblical. Perhaps the principal ought to include a sling? He does realize that to get any sort of heft behind a stone, you have to pretty much expose your entire upper body to get arm clearance - just the sort of silhouette that appears on a target.
And what if these turn out to be high capacity assault rocks? And they fall into the wrong hands? They're storing these things in a closet - is there a lock? Is the closet fire rated? So many questions.
Reading the whole article reveals that the school has supplied door locks and locking devices that immobilize the doors in the event of an intrusion, which is more than we've heard of at any CPS school. But relying on the aim of panicked grade school kids?

Maybe they can get Ernest T as security as well.
at least the sheep are trying to fight back
who is paying for the 9 buses to take all the Chicago CPS students and others to march in Washington DC?
I like how some use the children as pawns to push an agenda. Someone is pumping a LOT of money to sway public opinion into action on Gun Control.
The real issue is NOT Gun Control. The real issue is - all those who dropped the ball in following up on real leads to stop this shooter before it happened. Where is the spotlight on them??
The Ernest t. Bass method.
School resource officer Ernest T. Bass would be proud.
Typical stinkin' thinkin' from a
hidey-hole bureaucrat.
"Biblical," eh?
Y'all jest hold that though a second...
We'd like it better if he were to provide
the school delinquents with wrist rockets
and half-inch lead balls which depending
on the alloy, run around 180 to 190 grains
or so.
(As a reference, a one ounce lead ball will
run about 438-ish grains)
Didn't the IDF have orders to SOS anyone
seen using wrist rockets during the uprisings?
Anyhoo... David didn't just walk up to Goliath of Gath
and plunk him with a river rock.
He buried a river rock in his brain using a
S L I N G S H O T.
But seriously...
Cut to the chase and have a dedicated school
security team with gas-operated shotguns loaded
with 3in Brenneke Black Magic slugs that weigh
600 grains and brings 3000 pounds of muzzle
energy to the party.
When you absolutely, positively gotta knock the
dog shit out of somebody in a hurry.
They're also good for laying out vehicle borne bandits
in their sled like an unfortunate can of King Oscar sardines...
The Israelis have armed guards.
(Naturally)
The Russians have them too.
(After the Beslan Tragedy?
Damned right they do)
But m/fers are FREE to waltz into a
U.S. school aka Gun-Free Zone and do
the fool with impunity while all the
political and media swing-dicks/hang-tits
uselessly wring their hands.
"Ban those evil G U N S!"
How about the BEE-AY-DEE m/fers
who deliberately misuse those guns?
How come THEY aren't being properly addressed?
Yeah, that's the ticket. Half of the kids probably can't throw worth a damn. I think I would have went with blow guns or assault sling shots with bump stocks and either marbles or ball bearings as ammo. Of course Crook County would have another tax revenue stream by taxing darts, rocks, marbles and ball bearings. Un-fucking believable.
I think I'll stay with my .45.
I'm not sure why everyone is bitching. I am a firm believer in, at least it's something about fighting and not being a victim. It's not the hide and get shot method. Stop ragging on it and talk about how great of a start it is an ways to make it better...
Now, now, now.......
This just shows the difference between rural thinking and urban thinking.
Even the most seasoned urbanite is woefully lacking in the instinctive qualities of those thoroughly immersed in the ways of Mother Nature.
Why, I'll bet there will be multiple comments suggesting the erroneous connection between the using of stones + this story's subject = jihad/islam nonsense.
Quite understandlable, from the natural born urbanites.
Yet, are there no throwing of bricks, bottles, and other hard and hefty items within the urban experiences?
So, ya see, after a bit of pondering, one sees this particular story of a current event makes no less sense than any other.
The only point in the linked article of questionable wisdom is outing, by specifying, the one, single firearmed employee expected to be present.
That, in both an urban and rural situation, wasn't a bright thing to do.
So arming teachers with guns is a bad idea, but arming students with wax is a good idea?
Dr. David Helsel had to be stoned when he dreamt this shit up.
Really CPS is still trying to figure out how to use there restorative justice bullshit. It’s only a matter of time til it happens here. Unqualified,under caring and untrained police in CPS schools along with the crack security and principals will make for a great shit show if it ever gets reported.
This might work if one of the students is Ernest T. Bass.
Honestly thought this was a joke.
Maybe they could add a bucket full of rubberbands too.
And he is superintendent? Teachers must all be so intelligent. Well that will keep them safe. Bet the rocks came from his head and not river.
Everyone has a battle plan until first SHOT fired.
Sounds like someone has rocks in there head. This mist be fake news, who in there right mind could think up crap like this? Wait this is Rahm's idea, right?
It sounds like one school superintendent has rocks in his head.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
He can also add the bucket of tar over the door with a rope attached and have a designated rope puller assigned to. Totally nuts and this guy is running the schools.
This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. This is the problem in this country. Morons like this guy are actually in charge of shit. This guy sounds like he has the brain capacity to maybe mop the floors of a school, but instead he's the superintendent. Men threw rocks once upon a time as weapons Mr. Superintendent and the last one thrown was probably about 2000 years before guns were invented you fucking moron. Maybe we should put him on a tricycle and have him go up against a tank. Rocks vs. Guns... hmmm.... I wonder who's going to win out there?
Heh heh... so how many stray rocks will jump out of the bucket and break a window?
Teachers need to stay in their lanes!
They dont know shit about security.
Whats next stun guns for teacher against a gun?
Blow darts tipped with snake venom?
They could steal the security plans from these west side schools they are somewhat reasonable for unhinged students.
Crap, I foresee rock registration and, eventually, confiscation. In fact, in our community it may have already started, judging by the rock quarry on the outskirts of town.
I know it sounds silly or desperate, but you might as well go down fighting. Dunno. Maybe if enough people rushed the guy at the right moment...
OT

Actually a CO2 fire exinguisher. Not only are schools full of batteries that might explode in chrome books etc, but what a better way to thwart a shooter. If they enter the room, discharge it in their face.
beat them to deathwith the canister
problem solved.
hahaha
fuckin liberals, they never seize to entertain
That what Ernest T. BASS used in Mayberry. He was known to throw rocks and break windows
There's 'Stupid', and then there's, 'Education Administrator Stupid'.
It's a special kind of Stupid.
Rocks in their head.
A libtard's mind is a perfect storm of ignorance and arrogance.
Whelp they took away their finely sharpened Ticonderoga #2 assault pencils and gave them keyboards so at least it's something. I'd suggest the doors be armed with buckets full of shit that would fall on the intruder and bottles of piss to throw with the rocks!
Hey look it's more of a deterrent than Rahm Emanuel or Prickwrinkles have provided.
The question for the ages.
Sticks and stones or name calling, which has a bigger impact on the social justice revolution?
Snowflake Nation rising up angry.
Tonight on CNN
Back to Jeopardy
I’ll take Chicago Police Department leadership for $100 Alex.
(ding-ding-ding-ding!)
The Daily Double:
A bucket of rocks.
What does Special Ed’s head consist of?
I guess its OK now to bring a rock or a brick to a gunfight. Hey, why not arm our troops with rocks, who knows it might scare the hell out of the bad guys.
P.S. Give rocks to the new Swat people so they can defend themselves against a story that never happened. Man up the story was bullshit and most of know it.
I hope the buckets hold 10 rounds, er, rocks, or less. I'd hate for these to become assault rocks.
It worked for David against Goliath.
"Actually". This is much more of a plan, than any, that currently exists in the Chicago Public School System, or The Chicago City Colleges.
And Goliah said, "That hurt."
On a serious note, yes, it’s very odd. But it’s nice to try and get students into a fighting mentality, instead just hiding only. If hiding fails, that is. When the classroom door flies open and a gunman stands in the entrance, 30 students throwing rocks is better than 30 students cowering in the corner.
Now wait a minute, schools are in a gun free zone so firearms are Verboten.
BUT ...
In the midst of the Los Angeles riots, we learned that a brick was not a weapon. Remember that gangbanger Football pulling the driver out of his truck and hitting him upside the head with a brick? The court ruled that a brick wasn't a weapon.
SO
You can stay within the rules of a weapon free zone.
Genius. Pure genius.
Or unadulterated stupidity.
Would you have to fill out a 4473 for these and the FFL check "other" when papering out these weapons???
At least they're trying to do something instead of just sitting around, wringing their hands and demanding that somebody make guns magically disappear. I respect that. A bunch of kids throwing rocks at the bad guy is still a harder target than a bunch of kids hiding under their desks waiting for the inevitable.
Wow, all these kids downtown by Union Park are placing the blame of gun violence on gun owners
As they say, disarm the many, to save the few
1:59, I am with you on that thought.
\\
The kids leading the charge against the NRA are now claiming that the required clear backpacks are a violation of their rights, and they shouldn't be punished for the actions of others.
This should maybe be more about the size of the bucket. High capacity buckets should be outlawed. One rock per person, then the children can keep it on them. Of course, they'll need training and a permit with that. And register their rock with the state. It can also be less than 10 grams. Any larger and the rock will be too scary for people, because who knows what can happen with a rock that size? It may fly out of a pocket at any moment. 🤷♂️
as I am taking a coffee break from the march in Chicago, so many people here and everywhere! The thing is these children really think the will make the change? well just talk to a guy I know he is a democratic strategist, and he said this is the plan to win back the government to the democratic side,as they are subsidizing the buses and hotels etc.. So that being said they are using the "children" as political footballs, and blaming the republicans for this! Many are demanding more protection in the schools, we all know Chicago with rahm has so many hidden funds (tifs tax increment funds for example which have assets in the billions used as a political payoff piggy bank yes that is your tax money), so with that money the elected rahm and crew are tossing it around like drunken sailors to buy the next election! Think for example about "rahms values" this man rapidly and viciously took away CPD health care as another example of his disdain for law and order, next that pathetic lie of a consent decrees, next he has how many different "attack the hard working police officers" civilian units set up?
Now lets move on and see the "rahmaster" in action, he takes that from police,bastardizes the police and then uses millions to make illegal criminals ID cards so they can get free rides on transit,and free admission to many events that everyone pays for, next is most gregarious use of that money he is letting the illegals vote using that same bullshit card! Ultimate pandering not to the disenchanted,disenfranchised nope to the illegal criminals to buy votes!
Ok back to the outcry, they want more security (police) in schools, which is a great idea,and many have said why not hire retired coppers kind of a good idea, but the best idea is yes hire retired coppers back definitely pay them a decent wage,but let the retired work inside districts and 35th street,and units this way all full-duty coppers could be better utilized in the school system! far fetched? Not really this is actually being discussed by many elected in "silent Caucasus" as soon as they figure out to get their payoff it will happen. Oh and the millions rahm is misappropriating with anna his city clerk that could be completely diverted to the police! Next rahm so what a "passionate" guy you are restore the retirees health care, stop being such a hiding ballerina!
Lastly does anyone really think this photo op to puerto rico with little criminal luis is anything more than pandering for illegal hispanic votes? We all know rahm could careless about those people he is in it to win it anyway possible may lawfulness eb damed!
How is this for a real story:
NARRATIVE FAIL: Tons Of ‘Good Guys With Guns’ Protecting #MarchForOurLives Gun Control Rally
https://www.dailywire.com/news/28629/narrative-fail-lots-good-guys-guns-protecting-ryan-saavedra
Excerpt:
On Saturday, thousands of left-leaning people descended on the streets of Washington D.C. to demand gun control as they were surrounded by a heavy presence of “good guys with guns.” It was a truly ironic scene.
In a piece compiled by Twitchy, a presence of heavily armed local law enforcement officials and members of the National Guard were on scene to protect those rallying against guns, claiming they make American less safe:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This just shows how wacko and how the democrats are using children as propaganda tools to-stay elected and get elected! How about all the "kids" come out and demand more police,demand more law and order,demand respect for law enforcement officers nationwide! That would be "Change we can believe in" and would really "make America great again" not the nonsense they are doing! They in history read about the Nazis,Hitler and the propaganda machine, and detest it but yet they are used as pawns in this game of chess where they are playing for cameras and lying dishonest democrats and of the course the media who marches in lockstep with this agenda!
I wonder if they do a count of rocks every day at the school. “Hey, we’re missing two rocks. Who took them?!!!”
It’s better than having them coward under their desk
(OT) Here is an example of a liberal idiot running wild with his ideas children should not be involved with adult decisions this completely proves it;
https://www.dailywire.com/news/28609/watch-parkland-student-complains-clear-backbacks-ryan-saavedra?utm_medium=email&utm_content=032418-news&utm_campaign=position1
So this moronic child is complaining about having clear backpacks I I assume he would rather have backpacks that are not see-through just another reason liberalism is a mental disorder! OK kid let’s do this let’s make sure no one can see what’s in the backpacks that way they can bring in more weapons more dope more of everything what kind of stupid things that you learned at school you think you’re a leader you’re far from a kid!
"Never Bring A Rock To A Gun Fight"
Rocks at a Gunfight = David vs. Goliath redux
The Hollywood elites, uninformed students, the left media and socialist politicians are trying to erode the constitutional gun rights of law abiding citizens while in Cook County the state's attorney is making bonds more " affordable" for career criminals. ♠️
I'm not sure why everyone is bitching. I am a firm believer in, at least it's something about fighting and not being a victim. It's not the hide and get shot method. Stop ragging on it and talk about how great of a start it is an ways to make it better...

Only in the mind of an indoctrinated CNN bot does criticism equate to "raging". Hate to further trigger you, but sorry, kids throwing rocks at a gunman is a terrible idea. The cliche "fish in a barrel" comes to mind. As far as "ways to make it better", how about enforcing the current laws that already exist? How about having the political balls to convict and sentence violent criminals? "raging" haha!
The kids at Union Park are paid protestors. there were signs everywhere in Bridgeport to call number if you wanted to work as a protestor. A few might believe in this shit this week and forget about the cause this evening. That's what kids do, communist today, grunge tonight, lesbian tomorrow, straight christian day after, peta next week.
Republican conservative after the second kid and mortgage when you figure out that between taxes and your pension your money can't take you far.
Hey Goonies was a movie. Get it. It was not real and neither was the rest of those 12 year olds save the Day flicks. But the cultural revolution in China was. It was lead by the youth and kept that murderous bastard mao in power for another decade. So be a little bit worried.
Wait, are those "crack rocks" hahaha because thats about how stupid it sounds
Awe man, gotta get on this rock business quick! Lets see, I'll only charge a discounted rate of 5K per rock and another 5M for training
Did the school get a permit before they got those rocks? Are these assault rocks? Lord I hope these are not full auto rocks! The Horror!!!
J.J.
(From the minds of liberals. Why are they tolerated?)
Dumb as a box of rocks
Don't forget to issue the slingshots
Taking odds on when, not if, one of them so nicely formed, fits right in the palm, perfect for discrete flinging, little lumps of joy will find it's way to any target but what the genius educator proposed?
Don't like your grade?
Pissed off at your tutor?
Your bestest friend just winked at the boy of your dreams? And he winked back? Oh, gonna need both hands for that....
I prefer poison Ivy bushes over rocks.
Where are the teachers going to get their rock throwing training? Don't think this is a standard course at any Police academy?
Can the school or teacher be held civilly liable for "an accidental discharge"?
J.J.
They were black rocks, also known as high capacity or "assault" rocks. Illegal in most states, except with an FFL. Good thing the media didn't catch this story.
i use a sling as my backup piece, especially on sandal days
