OK so tonight we had Back To School night and the parents were let in on the ALICE training we have received on an active shooter. A lert L ockdown I nform Counter E vade. http://www.alicetraining.com/alice/k-12.aspx The main part of it is we are supposed to become active in our defense while trying to evacuate if we can. I have a five foot 1 inch dowel rod that I used to use to pull down my white screen. Now that I have a smart board I have a new use for it. I went down to the shop teacher and he notched a 3 inch gash in it. I can fit a scapel in it now. I now have a pretty scary spear. I can hide behind concrete brick and shove that five foot rod in my doorway. I'm going to barricade my door and leave a 1 inch kill zone I can shove that spear through. Times they are a changing.

If your faith in humanity went up a bit with this woman's story, may I burst your bubble just a bit...

Quote:A Plantation man lost his cool over an iced vanilla coffee, pistol-whipping a Dunkin' Donuts drive-through worker while his wife shouted, "Shoot him, shoot him."

Tuesday's melee was caught on surveillance video, which Lauderhill police released Wednesday. The video shows Jeffrey Wright, 27, repeatedly pounding the employee, Rajay Hall, 19, on the head with a handgun over an unsatisfactory coffee order while patrons tried to break up the melee.

I still wonder, is this kind of nutty testosterone/violence crap more common now, or does it seem like it because we're continuously fed news on the Internet, social network sites and 24/7 cable news?

Next time get the coffee order right. Cream, no sugar. J/K In all seriousness this sounds like a Comedy Central skit.

The wife shouted, "Shoot him, shoot him." Hoping the Dunkin' Donuts guy had a gun.

That was the scariest bit of the whole thing - what if she had the gun rather than him? How quickly and casually she wanted to commit a murder. Over an argument about flavored coffee.

Frightening how some people have absolutely no moral compass. Equally frightening is how unafraid they are of the consequences. The prospect of "prison" must not strike enough fear into people.

It was a joke. Tough room.

I was just saying that the wife prodding her dude to shoot the worker was the scariest part of the story.

damn....

Ah, sorry...

I thought you were hoping the DD guy had a gun to blast the piece of trash saying "shoot him".
