hypercrites

My wife works as the receptionist at a public elementary school.  She has a button under the front counter that trips a silent alarm that summons the police.

The school also practices "lock-downs" at least twice during the school year and they use the paging system to alert the staff during lock-downs.

A number of years ago there was an incident at a school in one of the southern states -- Arkansas I think.  A couple of boys pulled a fire alarm, ran up a close-by hill and then shot the students and the teachers as they exited the school.  I'm pretty sure they stopped shooting after the vice principal went to his own car, retrieved his rifle, and fired back at the boys.
