In an effort to fuel the fires of stupidity, it has become official to associate any crime related to firearms somewhere in the same county that has a school as a “School Shooting!” The abuse is such that a saturation level is being reached as it happened in Purdue a couple of days ago when some teachers continued to teach even after the “ZOMG! WE ARE GONNA DIE!” alert was given.
First, let’s be clear: Crime on campuses are nothing new up and including those involved with firearms. The Antis know it, we know it and even the cat under the stairs know it. A famous case down here was Nathaniel Brazill who shot his teacher in the face and killed him. No campus lockdown for 10 miles or calling the Navy Seals back then.
People are getting tired of the BS and they will promptly will issue the proper backlash on this stupidity. We are now to the point that if something happens near a school, they have to go Zombie Defense Alert, lower the portcullis and assume pile-up position on a corned of the classroom.
“But Miguel… it is just to be safe! There was a shooting! The bad guys might be nearby!” except when they are not. Check this example that happened yesterday not far from here:
MIRAMAR, Fla. (WSVN) — Miramar Police are investigating a fatal shooting at a Miramar home that resulted in the shutdown of City Hall and the lockdown of two schools.
Wednesday afternoon, Miramar Police homicide investigators spent the day outside a home where 23-year-old Joey Delancey lost his life. …….According to Miramar Police, early Wednesday morning, Delancey came to a friend’s home at 6100 SW 41 St. when a red Nissan Altima pulled up and a group of men in that car began arguing with Delancey. Suddenly, shots rang out and Delancey was killed. “……..The suspects took off to Miramar’s Town Center complex where an officer found a vehicle that matched the description. “The suspect vehicle was then spotted near the Town Center, parked near the library,” said Rues. “We secured the scene. We had multiple officers enter the library and detain two individuals inside the library. It appears that they are connected to the suspect vehicle.”
Police detained the men who were inside the library and told police they were looking for information on Broward classes. Police are not calling them suspects.

No problem right? OK look at this map:
So, the only place where a shooting was known to have happened was 7 miles away from where a town center and schools were ordered to freak out and shut down.
We are seeing more and more of this crap just for theater purposes. It is an inefficient usage of police resources and creates an unnecessary and constant wave of fear that makes for not the best school atmosphere. It is sadly funny that the ones that accuse us of being paranoid are the ones pushing for this constant state of panic.
You can only cry wolf so many times till it bites you in the ass.
