What Are We Doing?!?

We’ve gone way too far in traumatizing our kids and school teachers.

I’ve experienced another visual assault online and it’s not what you would normally think it would be. I see something so jarring I sometimes wonder what words to form….how do you describe something like this?

And this

This preschool teacher went viral after describing her active shooter bulletproof backpack and all the little goodies she carries in there for her children like gauze, bullet hole plugs, and various other bandages.

The backpack is a combination of two packs connected by a strap around the neck and is fastened at the waist. It acts like a kind of sandwich board.

That way it stays in place even when I’m running.

I mean…imagine her running down the corridor with two or three screaming children all the while trying to stay on her feet while her “backpack” pulls her from side to side as her body pivots side to side and as centrifugal force threatens to pull her off balance as she skids to round the corner, the shooter behind her fumbling for a new magazine. Can you picture it? Can you see the nightmare hellscape we’ve created?

She describes her process of first baring the door and then shows the two ballistic plates given to her by her father a retired police officer that fit in each pack.

Besides this dystopian nightmare of this backpack apparatus, what really pissed me off was the link to another article for the AR-500 …RIGHT IN THE SAME FUCKING ARTICLE.

So let’s take a look at it, shall we? Sure, why not?

Isn’t it glorious?

Isn’t it divine?

Your very own .50 calibre assault rifle. It’s that much more deadly and destructive.

Yeah, let’s have more of those.

Let’s make those two puny ballistic shields in the teacher’s backpack obsolete. Then when those fail, she can ask her retired daddy for even heavier plates to put in her jumbo-sized sandwich board-styled backpack…

Oops.

No, she can’t anymore because she’s fucking dead!

Have we had enough of the gun fetishes? Haven’t we traumatized enough children? We send them into war zones formerly known as schools all because we can’t control the sale of guns. We can’t even keep guns from criminally insane and drug addicts.

When will we put an end to this madness?
