@WasCy On the other hand, the idea that one has to “clean someone’s clock” while doing it is generally a fallacy. One can get their “clocked cleaned” with one punch or kick; “Iron Mike” Tyson and George Forman proved that many times. If the kid punched the teacher in the chest and she staggered back and he lunged in, if off instinct she gave him a round house kick (ala Trinity of the Matrix) the cobwebs could very well be cleared from his noggin.
@bobbinhood Frankly, if she cleans his clock, she’s doing a good bit more than self defense. And 3 cops shooting a slightly retarded man with a butcher knife in the heart when they could have winged him seems excessive too, especially when the cops are crack shots at distances greater than 15ft but in the rush of the moment I guess things happen. So if crack shots and wing a man with a knife at 15ft instead of just blasting him in the chest I can give a teacher a little slack when there is a larger student full of rage less than 18 inches from her trying to knock the stuffing or worse from her.
@Written My old teacher carried a gun every class. He didn’t show it of course, until one dude took out a knife at the end of the year [not being satisfied with the grade he got] and placed it on the teachers neck.
He then took out the gun. Boy. Was that funny.
And there does the catch 22. Especially when you see schools like that of Richmond Ca. no one really wants metal detectors because school is suppose to be a safe place not a prison of compound, but you have 3 students in one week and a student a week since the 1st of the year getting busted with firearms on them or in their backpack then other students want to be strapped because they feel the next time they beef with someone they are not going to settle it in back of the gym as their grandfather did it but like the OK corral at high noon. No one wants to show up to a gun fight with just their fist. What must the teachers be thinking? How many of those adorable freshmen are sitting there in class with a 9mm by their biology book in the backpack? And what if on boy has a frackus with another and pulls out a knife then have the other come out with a pistol? At least if Ms History Teacher was armed she could disarm the students before stray bullets started ripping through the classroom wall.
