The Buck Stops There
Guess what rolls downhill? [More]
Hey, you don't expect Scott Israel to give up a lucrative gig with all those perks and loyalty guarantees, do you?

Israel, Peterson, Jordan, and undoubtedly others, should publicly admit to cowardice and commit ritual suicide in contrition. Would you want these chicken-hearted poltroons showing up when you call for help?

In related news, “Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri now supports arming teachers and other school personnel as a line of defense against school shootings, a striking change of heart driven by his work with a state commission investigating February’s massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Gualtieri said Friday he changed his mind after watching surveillance video and studying the timelines of Parkland and other school shootings as chairman of the commission established to review what went wrong and recommend ways to make schools safer.
The man accused in the shooting at the Broward County school, Nikolas Cruz, paused to reload his gun five times — moments that could’ve been taken advantage of by trained volunteer teachers and school staff had they been armed, Gualtieri said. A school resource deputy stayed outside while Cruz sprayed bullets from an AR-15 rifle inside, investigators said. The final fatal rounds had already been fired by the time law enforcement officers arrived.
“The schools across Florida need a change in their culture,” Gualtieri said. “Yes, those teachers are great people doing great work and they need to be able to teach, but you can’t teach dead kids. Safety has to come first.””

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who has long supported arming teachers, also serves on the state commission investigating the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School headed by Pinellas Sheriff Gualtieri. Sheriff Judd deputizes teachers who undergo firearms training to work around current Florida law creating schools as Gun-Free Zones.

Gun-Free Zones only make it safer for the mass shooters to do their grisly work without interference. The solution is not to deputize the teachers, but instead to eliminate prohibitions on open carry and to eliminate the Gun-Free Zones in Florida law, provide appropriate training to interested adults and encourage cultural change where the teachers want to receive the firearms training and to carry concealed firearms on school grounds.
Yep.
And note the deliberately manipulative "Authorized Journalist" term "sprayed."
Oh, those senseless "bullet hoses."
