A couple of Oklahomans who dare to dream big have figured out a way to protect children from school shootings and tornados, the perfect way to keep kids safe-ish, on the cheap-ish. Meet the Bodyguard Blanket from ProTecht, the brainchild of an Oklahoma podiatrist who knows that when it comes to Our Kids, half-measures are often just fine. If we can't do anything to reduce the number of guns in circulation or
This, like the bullet proof backpacks, falls apart somewhat because they're not always kept in the classrooms. Backpacks are kept in lockers, which are in the hallways, which is the last place you go when there is an active shooter.
Sometimes I read the comments at our Wonket and I have to take a second to realize that it's snark by us libturds and not a wayward breitbart commenter harshing the room. I get pissed, then I go , oh. Yeah, those screeching bungholes that reflexively oppose everything O does have almost ruined snark. They're un-snarkable. While foaming at the mouth at watching 3 mins of fox news, I had a 'discussion' with the GF last night much like Jon Stewart's bit about why he does this to himself. She was like, "you know they're full of shit!" and I said I know, but I want to think that one day they'll just toss down their lapel mics and walk off the set in shame, but that's never gonna happen. In short, you guys are all awesome, and fuck those other guys.
Duck and cover was effective only in that the authorities would know approximately where a kids ashes were based on desk location. Monogram these and you have the same principle at work.
New at Walmart: Bullet proof clothes for your special snowflake. Small, medium, large and husky. Everything comes in one color: florescent hunting orange.
Well, Dyneema is indeed a thing, an aramid fiber comparable in strength to Kevlar (used in bulletproof vests) but less heat-tolerant. But even with conventional BP vests, taking a round is no walk in the park. They don't do things like cause the bullets to bounce off (you need thick steel armor plate for that, like in a tank turret), they just make it more likely that the GS will be survivable. And that's for adults with tactical training.
For grade school kids? I wouldn't count on it.
No silly. That would mean people would have to pay a 0.03% tax increase to protect someone else's kid. This way the parents buy their child his or her very own safety yoga mat that they can pass down to future generations. I assume the mats are reusable after the child has suffocated in the rubble or been thrown into the next county by the wind.
I am reminded of how, in the 50's, we were told to hide under our desks, ("duck and cover"), in case of atomic attack.

Oh, ha ha ha. For each school? Get your franchise fee together.
Instead of gold stars, stickers and smiley-faces, they gets a glock.

And how are schools supposed to pay for this bauble of false security?
Oh, wait. I know - they'll cut teacher pay again.
This truly enshrines school shootings as part of our culture. Our version of 'duck and cover'
If they get sucked up into the vortex, the bright orange color should make them easier to spot, too.
I thought the instructions were:
Put on blanket Put head between knees Kiss your ass goodbye
