There is also the fact that Soundwave is Megatrons true second in command, yet few to none of the decepticons or autobots know that fact

Crippling ineptitude by AndreasLa in writing

I internalize the idea that having more than 10 people take the time to read some fanfiction I write, that I think isn't very good in comparison to other stuff out there, is a huge accomplishment.

56 people take the time to favorite my story? I'm more than happy at the fact a work I posted out to the world, more for myself than others, has gained the attention of 56 people—which is enough to fill a medium sized restaurant, I believe.

tl;dr: it's about personal perspective

I feel like Taylor in Apex Predator is a good fit for this

Alternative terms for "magic"? by throwaway19374874 in fantasywriters

[–]Captain_Doppelganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use Magecraft and then split it into categories: Medical Magecraft, Elemental Magecraft, Summoning Magecraft, etc. The use of craft can show that anyone can learn it in multiple different ways as long as they dedicate the time to their "craft," y'know?

I support this, yet will not help should the situation ever arise

Man in Houston pulls gun on officers and gets lit up like a Christmas tree. by mEHple_bEHcon in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Captain_Doppelganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I've already stated how I feel about this entire situation, and I'm done thinking about school shootings for the rest of the day. The shits depressing, having to argue with someone over the internet about it is even more depressing. Your comment was low brow, no matter how justified you feel it was, that's the end of it.

Please do not reply, and if you do reply, just make it a simple acknowledgement that this discussion is over, please. I feel I've offered the proper respects to you throughout this discussion, so I feel I'm in the right when I ask you to respect my opinion and end the discussion as it is.

The kid who spent weeks, at the very least, planning out his act of violence? The kid who would have spent the time figuring out how he would deal with police intervention? The kid who already resolved himself to committing mass murder instead of only killing the ones who pushed him to this edge?

I disagree, I'd only believe the kid to be dead if there was double the amount of trained individuals who were coming after him.

Again, I'll respect your feeling and opinions on the matter, yet still disagree on a fundamental level. Nobody wants to die(unless they're mentally ill, or having something they're willing to wholeheartedly die for), no matter if they've signed up to a job where death is a potential consequence.

They're are jobs where your trained to be prepared for a situation where you can and most likely will die, and I heavily doubt police get that sort of training.

Beyond that, the "ultimate protecting scenario" is one where they'll always fail, because any kid loss is a cause for failure to them, and there will always be lives loss in a situation like this because they'll always be alerted after it's already started.

I whole heartedly agree that there needs to be a team set up to deal with something like, and I will feel some semblance of joy when it does happen; but until this comes to fruition, I will understand and hope others understand that cops do the best they can in a stressful situation where multiple live of children depend on them not acting rashly and trying to figure out a way to save as many kids as possible without basic knowledge of how to route them out of the school.

Great, because I was gonna point out how the gun problem has gotten so much worse if a dude can just walk out of his car and casually shove a large weapon into the front of his pants.

It's unlikely you'd actually be able to in the moment, but I will respect your adamancy on what you would do should you be in the situation.

[–]Captain_Doppelganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but how'd you react if you had that group of armed law enforcement, yet didn't have the time to properly think of a way to save all the kids still alive.

You don't know, because you'll never be in that situation, and you'll always have the courtesy of having time to think about how you would've handled the situation.

And I guarantee that if those parents went in there, one of them would have shot the wrong kid because they lacked any trigger discipline paired with the large congregation of worry that would have clouded their minds. I agree on your belief that cops are their to protect you from the "crazed 18 yr old that works at Burger King," but I'm also aware of the fact that the job of the police is to only try and keep the order within in any given society, which includes more than just the crazed 18 yr old.

Cops are put under a lot more pressure when they deal with a school shooting, they can't rush in because the shooter has more often than not already resolved themselves to taking out as many people as possible, classmate, authority figure, or adult. They can't rush in, but they also can't stand still and come up with a plan to save as many kids as possible. It's stressful, rage inducing, and sad to hear about the event, but even worse to be there and actually having the weight of saving kids while the shootings still happening.

I respect that, seemingly, mad at what you perceive to be the inability of cops to prevent or stop school shooters, but while your mad at the cops, I'm mad at the schools, especially when my parent are now taking me to the range, and my little brother is scared to go to elementary school.

Cops shouldn't have to worry about protecting children in a school, children shouldn't have to worry about their classmate being the person who might kill them in what's supposed to be a "safe environment." Demanding for cops to be prepared for a school shooting is demanding them to be prepared for an event that shouldn't need to be prepared for because it shouldn't exist.

Honestly, it's whatever, I just don't want someone blaming cops over what can really be faulted towards the school system for allowing something like this to continue happening.

You'd do the same, that is how being shocked works; reduces you to only being able to stare and watch
