Superintendent Says Students Are Armed with Rocks In Case of a School Shooting
SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, Pa. -- 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.
That was Dr. Helsel testifying to the House Education Committee last week in Harrisburg.
The superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District was explaining his unconventional form of protecting the students in their schools in the event of an active shooter situation: give them rocks.
“At one time I just had the idea of river stone, they`re the right size for hands, you can throw them very hard and they will create or cause pain, which can distract,” said Helsel.
Helsel says teachers, staff and students were given active shooter training through a program known as ALICE which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate and they routinely hold evacuation drills for active shooter simulations.
But if a teacher decides to lockdown a classroom, there are rocks in a five-gallon bucket kept in every classroom closet that students could throw if shooters get inside.
Still, Helsel says the rocks are seen as a last resort.
“We have devices installed in our doors that help to secure them, to make it very difficult to break through,” said Helsel. “We also have, we train kids and talk about barricading the doors.”
A teenager who is a senior a Blue Mountain High School and says he and other students like that plan.
“It matters because it will help protect the schools, anything helps, rocks are better than books and pencils.”
Parents do as well.
“At this point, we have to get creative, we have to protect our kids first and foremost, throwing rocks, it's an option,” said Dori Bornstein.
But not everyone thinks this is a practical line of defense.
“I think that's rather comical,” said one college student in Schuylkill Haven.
“It's absurd, arm the teachers,” said a parent in Schuylkill Haven.
Helsel says the district has no plans to arm teachers, however, Blue Mountain does have a maintenance employee who is trained and certified to work as school security and is armed.
And the district plans to have more support staff get the same training to act a security.

He's capable of damaging himself and US -- his parents need to stop him.
But my guess is his father lacks the back-bone.

His father is clearly worthless.
I have one of the foulest mouths I know but I talk the way I do in appropriate settings. If I’d made a video like he did and used the language he did in it my father would have beat the shit out of me.
The actions of little Hogg show that his parents are pieces of shit.

We both know the left has no interest or intention of solving this 'problem'. They're going to milk this for all the campaigning and fund raising they can get out of it. And Hogg the attention whore will be yesterday's news very soon.
Count me in on a Hogg lower. That is an absolutely terrific idea.

If you pick a Hoggwash vid at random, every comment is hilariously derisive. Not one single comment I can see that is supportive. another glorious FAIL for the left.

So we can’t give teachers pistols because an attacker might have a rifle, and you know the bullet speed is faster with a rifle and all. But a rock? Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Yeah, rocks are just the ticket. Bring rocks to a gun fight. Sounds like something Pelosi would come up with.

Patriots loan plane to Parkland students for D.C. trip Mike Florio,ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports
On Saturday, kids and adults from throughout the country will stage a March For Our Lives in Washington, an effort to advocate for reforms to the nation’s gun laws. The students who sparked the moment via a tragedy that claimed 17 lives at their high school and their response to it made the trip from Florida to D.C. on a plane owned by the Patriots.
Via FOX 25 in Boston, the Patriots provided the transportation to the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, using one of the two planes the team purchased last year. The Patriots bought the planes at a time when multiple airlines were putting the squeeze on NFL teams. The move gave the Patriots flexibility to use the planes however they see fit in any given offseason, and the Patriots have decided to support the inherently patriotic effort of citizens to make their voices heard.
Regardless of anyone’s political beliefs or the outcome of these discussions and debates, our system works only when the people are willing to engage in it. With the help of the Patriots, the kids from Parkland can.
^^^^^Hey PAtriots...Can me and my friends get a ride to the Pro-Life March? No? What about the next Tea Party Rally? I just wanna be politically engaged? The Kochs are hosting a confab in Telluride soon...can I hitch a ride?

There is a 757 not getting much use these days, probably down in Florida right now, anyway.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Hogg demonstrating how suddenly values student's supposed constitutional rights to privacy over the safety of THE CHILDRENS. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT DEAD CHILDRENS!

News flash! Fire one round of 5.56 and watch all of these children drop their rocks and run for cover. This is security theater as its worst.

Fuck that self centered whiny little son of a bitch (I'm almost 65 and I am old enough to use that word)...he is on a "I'm the smartest and most important person in the world...listen to me...I KNOW better than you...I'm an expert on all things" Ego trip...tomorrow he will stand at his own personal "Reichstag" and preach to the masses...fuck him...
Just to keep who he is as well as his "mission" in all of this in the forefront...
