The shooting at Umpqua Community College may prompt schools to follow the example of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, which purchased bulletproof whiteboards (from Harwire LLC) for its classrooms. Instead of gang-rushing would be killers, as Ben Carson suggested, professors or students can instead rip these whiteboards off the wall mid-attack and deflect the barrage of bullets...
In another line of its burgeoning business, Hardwire installed 52 pieces of armor in a Maryland stadium, 'magnetically attached to beams and disguised as advertisements for local businesses.' In the event of a shooting, the pieces of armor 'would come right down off the beams to offer protection.'"
eye'm thynkin': Really? Let's ignore the infection, slap a (profitable) band-aide on it, and congratulate ourselves on a job well done.
What's next, toddler-sized bullet proof vests? Armor-plated textbooks?
Common sense has left the country.
