How do students having phones help in a shooting?

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Is this a serious question? Replace "shooting" with any other emergency.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Calling/texting 911

Letting authorities know where they and/or the shooter is in the building

Even filming and documenting it is important after cunts like Alex Jones convinced an entire political party that all school shootings are fake, Jewish and Illuminati psyops to take away their guns.

Calling / reaching out for help is the obvious one, but sadly being able to get their last words out to family is also a consideration.

you’re joking right?

Calling police, calling parents, etc.

[–] slaughterhouse@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are the police gonna do? Wait outside until the shooter runs out of bullets, then go in to finish the job?

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Cops are worthless pieces of shit, 99% of the time. And Uvalde PD especially if that's what you're referencing.

Although, the release of the evidence that they did that, (which the GOP and UvaldePD fought tooth and nail to keep the footage secret), resulted in the following school shooting (the first transgender one the right obsesses over) had ended quickly after the pigs arrived.

Filming their incompetencies has an effect. Not much of one but an effect.

Police can be called by the teacher that’s also in the room. They never come in time anyways. Calling parents just reduces situational awareness by distracting the panicked kids.

Oh ok I didn't realize you had survived multiple school shootings. Sorry you live in america.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

It's nice to be able to call your parents when you're bleeding out in the school atrium.
