U.S. Issues Newtown Calls for Armed School Officers - Page 4

**petegz28** · 02-01-2013, 08:20 AM

The Newtown Board of Education will be asking the town to make room for more armed police officers in its budget.

In a meeting Thursday, the board voted to request the town to add full time uniformed school resource officers to its four elementary school s for the next fiscal year was approved this evening.
The officers would be Newtown police officers.

“Our parents are demanding of us that things are made safe and secure and certain measures areput in place,” said Chairwoman Debbie Leidlein. “So we’re being very thoughtful.”

Multiple police officers have been stationed at all Newtown schools since the December 14th shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary killed twenty children and 6 teachers. Those officers will remain at the school through the remainder of the school year. For the next fiscal year, resource officers were budgeted only to be at Middle and High Schools.

Parents say security involves more than a police presence. “My main concern is with accessibility to these school, said Neil Johnson, a parent of two Newtown students. “On december 14th that was the main bare-boned reason that occurred.”

“After what happened in our community, i just think we should go over and above and provide a shining example for the rest of the world and protect our kids,” said resident Donna Lorenz.
Members of the Board of Education will be meeting Friday with state and federal officials on securing additions funding for school security.

Which is, making the penalty so steep for committing a crime with a gun the smart criminals won't do it, and we'll eliminate those that do.

Yeah, you made a thread about this. It didn't go very well.

I wasn't aware it was supposed to be working for me.

Really, I seem to recall several people saying you hadn't thought your theory through. Off the top off my head, wrongful conviction.

Feel free to resurrect the thread so we can discuss it instead of looking like someone that hides behind somebody else's thoughts.

I had my own thoughts on it as well as agreeing with those whom I'm supposedly "hiding behind." Executing anyone and everyone using a gun in a crime is too extreme.

Let me ask, do you think gun violence would be reduced under that system?

Possibly. Murder is punishable by death yet people still do it. People know drug laws are extreme, yet people still do them.

Really? Because that was the only evidence supporting your belief that an AR-15 wasn't used.

A bit off the mark but ok, lets run with it.

If all murderers are executed do you think at least one person considering doing it will rethink his position and not do it?

KChiefer · 02-01-2013, 10:35 PM

Sure. If u threaten death for speeding, will one person not speed?

You're fighting hard to not agree with my premise and losing.
