[quote]So next year at my school they are demand that we have clear backpacks for the school year. [b][i][u]I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BIG CLEAR BACKPACK![/u][/i][/b] Also they are adding metal detectors at my school and you’ll have to be pat down.[/quote] Calm down, Padawan. Clear backpacks have existed since at least the 90s. We had them in middle school (1995-1998). We had metal detectors right after the Columbine massacre. I am surprised that every school district didn’t have these since my district was ridiculously small and poor. [quote]It’s mentally -blam!- and guess what else! My friend has diabetes and he has his electronic pump and if he goes through that metal detector it’s fried and he could die [spoiler]#dumbassSchools[/spoiler] and the metal detector is going to go off on almost every kid cause they all have phones!!!![/quote] Those would not go through the metal detectors. [quote]Also the clear backpack ain’t so shot cause we can still take duffle bags (for spots) and binders to school and some kid can just put a gun in there (not to mention the metal in the binders)[/quote] The backpacks would be inspected. Them being clear just speeds up the process. As for he duffle bags, I don’t expect those to stay around as they are not vital. I did not have one, and I did not know a single person who had one. [quote]Also for the past 2 years plastic guns have been advancing and right now some kid could take plastic smg and bullets in their duffle bag[/quote] Bullets would be detected and despite the advancements in plastics, there is still enough metal in guns to set off a detector on moderate settings [quote]Also that’s not gonna stop some drunk man saggin his pants double smging up my school or any school for that matter. The law doesn’t stop people the police do and police response times are 10-30 minutes[/quote] Then you need a detachment on site. [quote]The news is particularly to blame for the sudden 400% increase in school shootings because they just blow it up and that puts the thought into the peoples head and that causes people to do it. Just like tide pods they increased tenfold right after the news blew them up[/quote] To a degree, I agree. [quote]Link to more in depth video [url= https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KOC7clogG6s] tide pod/ news blow up[/url] And my final point is that the chance of dying in a school shooting in the U.S is less than 000.0000001% you are more likely to die by a fricken vending machine[/quote] Citation...? [quote]So what do y’all think on this topic? I think it’s stupid[/quote] You’ll live.
