How long did it take the Police to respond?(we've all heard that one) #2. How many shots were fired by the "Goofball" murderer? #3. How many shots were fired by the Police protecting the students? ( I believe that was ZERO) #4. How many students were saved by the Police? (again I believe that was ZERO) Don't get me wrong, this is nothing against the Police. It is just a matter of geography that it takes them so long to respond. Police responce can NOT be instantaneous. However, one armed citizen could have stopped the whole bloody mess, almost INSTANTLY!!! Just a thought. Here’s a few questions for the “Call the POLICE for protection” crowd.
