1. Jesus Christ.

[backtoblue]

2. O.m.g.

That is a slap in the face to the kids who are out there speaking for gun regulations!

[Cha]

15. Yes, it is.. they don't need no stinking

sensible gun laws.. just more GUNS.

the nra is jerking off.

30. Typical Florida patriarch reaction.

The only thing that would change my mind is if there were a lot of copy cat threats that they're not telling us about.

[Blue_Adept]

3. And here I am, hoping this is in error, but realizing that it's probably true

That's right, put the weapon that killed kids in front of more kids. Protect them with what kills them.

6. I remember walking through Tel Aviv airport with all its armed military guards.

I've never felt so unsafe in my life. There's just something about an assault-style weapon that just screams, "Be afraid!"

[Blue_Adept]

8. After 9/11, I stopped flying because airport security looked like a military zone

All the soldiers, weapons slung, and here I am watching my 2 and 3 year old kids walking among it. They kept flying with their mother to places but I refused to normalize that and be a part of it.

20. I would feel safer there than here. They train their people very very well.

[beachbum bob]

4. so who is out chasing criminals?

[brettdale]

5. please no

[handmade34]

7. absurd

our freedoms are being taken away from us

[mainstreetonce]

10. Prison environment.

[HipChick]

11. If I had to go to school and see that everyday...

I would refuse, and beg to be home schooled...

[procon]

12. Where do all the bullets go, you know, ones that miss the target? nt

[tblue37]

13. I often visited Spain during Franco's rule. The heavily armed Guardia Civil were everywhere.

It did not make me feel safe!

[DemocracyMouse]

23. Too true! FRANCO's Spain: Fascism. TRUMP's America...

....... we can't, and won't let it happen.

RESIST.

[old guy]

14. If true

Broward Co. schools are now under Martial Law. What will the next step be? Malls, theaters, churches, your block?

[Leghorn21]

16. No SHIT, guy - wow, I hadnt thought of armed guards everywhere as being just that

Oh crap

Also, these seriously SHELL SHOCKED KIDS cannot be asked to live this way - a young man at the “listening session” today said he and his friends freak out at things like the sound of cars going by now -

PTSD, shock - oh man, these poor babies

Martial fucking law

UNH

[Butterflylady]

17. Yep, that'll solve the problem (sarcasm)

Next they will likely build towers for the deputies to stand in just like prison guards.

[Sunsky]

18. Bs

This is absurd. Runcie has lost his damn mind.

[DeminPennswoods]

19. Since his armed deputies never even encountered Cruz

after he entered school grounds, it's doubtful a change in weaponry will make a difference.

[johnpowdy]

21. WTF THIS IS FUCKING SCARY!!!!

[onecent]

22. This is B.S.

[smirkymonkey]

24. Sick! Just sick!

Way to further traumatize kids who have already been traumatized beyond belief. They don't care about the kids. They care about making a show of power with their stupid fucking dick substitutes.

[dhill926]

25. Sheriffs are voted on, right....

this jerk off needs to go....

[sinkingfeeling]

26. I would immediately withdraw my kid from school. I lived in Broward

County in 1977 and 1978. The school system was so bad, I put my first/second grader in a private school way back then.

[lapfog_1]

27. the next 18 year old school shooter

will bring his AR-15 and his rent-a-cop uniform

[Luciferous]

28. Wtf?! I would NOT send my kid back to that school.

[VOX]

29. Turning our own country into Iraq and Afghanistan...

What comes next? IEDs? Snipers? Troops deployed to shopping malls?

[moondust]

31. A tank in every driveway!

Barrel bombs for everybody!!!
