    So.... they're too hysterical to evacuate properly, but they're not too hysterical to jump a guy shooting at them?

    No, you've got it reversed.

    The point being made is that a school shooting is on a whole other level of "OMFG" than the school being on fire. Hence, people will be more likely to stampede out during a shooting than during a fire.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Ok...

    Wasn't arguing with you.

    Hmmm....

    But they're likely to be able to take down a shooter effectively?

    I'd say taking the chance of a stampede may even have the better results, I don't think it happens THAT often that more than one person gets killed in a stampede, running towards someone with an automatic or semi automatic weapon through a really long corridor however is likely to get a lot of people killed.
    So how about a superstrong magnet in the basement? Everybody just takes off their bling bling, they have one minute and then everything made from metal will be glued to the ground, including guns.

    Surely having teacher trying to assertain where the gun man is (a lot of schools are spread out and one could most likley work out if they are near by with listening alone) and then getting the students TFO of there asap is better then staying there and waiting for them to go away. surely a few classes at a time could make a run for it. treat it like a hostage situation not a school shooting. Get as many out as possible safely and then deal with the takers as you can.


    fortune might favour the bold, but it kills the brave.

    controlling who can and can't come onto the campus is better then drilling students to take out a gunmen....

    no, it wont. chances are there will be more kids dead, since in the stampede the slow kids will be knocked down, leaving them to the mercy of the shooter. now considering our obesity rates....

    fight another day? youre the one who wants them to run away! how can they fight again if you are advocating not fighting in the first place? so they should run away just to run away again?

    Well they would be running away to live another day... unless they plan on military, ufc ect.

    no, it wont. chances are there will be more kids dead, since in the stampede the slow kids will be knocked down, leaving them to the mercy of the shooter. now considering our obesity rates....

    Fat kids tend to be stronger (and more dangerous when stampeding) i would imagine the fat kids would be alright just a bit slow, its the skinny frail ones who aren't athletic that would possibly get knocked over and stampeded over, which obviously isn't any better....

    Perhaps there could be some kind of semi organised stampede, release the athletic ones first, they'll sprint ahead and not get in anyones way, then i guess the fatter people.... and leave the frail till last, for thier own protection from the stampede, i suppose it has a kind of unfairness to it, but i would be very pissed off being kept in a classroom with a shooter on the loose....
