I don't know if this offends you, but it is rather sad when dangerous left leaning principles are applied . . . The memory of Viriginia Tech is fresh in the mind of many people and the horror of the school shooting led to questions about law enforcement response... And if that was not enough to make you upset, think about how some left-wing extremists who wants to disarm and take away the weapons of Cops on campus! People are outraged that cops should have done more and done things more quickly in the tragedy, but what if they didn't have guns? And unlike the left-wing bloggers who fight imaginery ghosts and use vague but emotional trigger descriptions of their opponents, I am not shy in naming names for the case of a school near me, at Pasadena City College. (UCLA actually has plans in the house of a tactical (SWAT) response in such a case, which is why I'm not focusing on it) How many others might be like those at PCC? I suggest you do some research for your local schools and ask about their policy with cops (to have guns or not?) and the position of the policy makers. Lawmakers need to be held accountable by those within their community. And we need to rememer the names of these out-of-touch self-righteous, politco-careerist administrators who live off people's tax money in the legalized Cartel with high-inflated pay, year after year, and self-helping salary system that is called the public education adminstrative system, especially if they have ambitions to run for elected office. QUOTE #1="We are a college and learning environment, and the presence of guns on campus might make it difficult to maintain that environment." -- Dave Douglass But what about people like Cho would decided to bring a gun and not only upset your postmodern conception of the idealized ascethics of your fairy tale fantasy world of perfection namely a university or college? It's kind of hard to maintain that environment huh, if you don't have the power to maintain or at least respond to those who disrupt that environment. Perhaps, in maintaining that learning enviornment, Dave Douglass and cohorts like him should try to sit down with school shooters, play Socrates and ''reason'' with them; about how Plato's Repulic argues that the first virtue should be justice and give a valid deductive syllogism that logically compels him to drop the gun. I'm afraid you won't be able to do that, nor would you have time to deliver your prepared speech on right civic action citing Cicero's On Duties in crazy-karate chop MLA form footnotes that would impress those in peer review journals, but you would be powerless once that gunmen walks through the door. QUOTE #2=Dr. James Kossler, PCC president, said, "I'm opposed to it. Even though it is an open campus, we still have a lower crime rate than the area outside of campus. Allowing even one gun on campus is one too many. It's an accident waiting to happen." Why do guys at times, with their doctorate degrees sometimes treat the hardworking class, act like they are bunch of kids? Its almost as if he's saying to the police, "Bad boy! Don't touch those guns!" "Allowing even one gun on campus is one too many. It's an accident waiting to happen." Dr. Kossler, having earned five degrees (I am impressed at the renissance man that he is), I wonder if he can identify what a slippery slope fallacy is? Speaking about accidents, think about the 'accident' when some salvage gunmen hit a school that doesn't have any on-location ability to respond? Think about how many more people would be killed because of this. It would'nt be considered an 'accident': It's called negligence. QUOTE #3= "The board of trustees has been consistently opposed to campus police officers carrying firearms and many attribute the boards' decision to Jack Scott, current democratic senator and former PCC president. He made it his personal campaign during his time as president to keep the campus police from carrying guns on campus." It's sad to see left-wing yes men. I wonder if they would still oppose campus police officers having firearms even after the Virginia Tech affair. If Jack Scott wonders why, let them be reminded by these pictures: QED. http://www.pcc-courieronline.com/101206/news/guns.html |
