I'm not sure if this was to me or to WTR? if it was to me, I was a child during Vietnam, my dad was in the Navy at the time, so he didn't see any fighting. He had enlisted before it started. Like I said, I would like to think I would have gone in, but I don't think anyone knows until the situation presents itself.Charles L. Cotton wrote:Were you in Vietnam? Did you go to college?

He rips the Deputies for not going in and says he would like to think he would have gone in without a gun. I guess he would like to think he answered his countries call during Vietnam Nam, and run in.SewTexas wrote:- what? a person can't change in over 40 years? wow....I'm glad not everyone things like you!WTR wrote:Comments coming from a someone with five deferments for Vietnam Nam need to be tempered with reality.

I could be wrong.....
I think everyone would "like to think they would go in within or without a weapon.....to save kids

Re: Deputy Scot Peterson
I've read this in several places. So their student criminal numbers went down, but what about their student victim numbers?RoyGBiv wrote:I have not confirmed the veracity of the information posted here... Readers use caution.

Re: Deputy Scot Peterson
My husband and I had this discussion a night or two ago. We finally reached the conclusion that while Peterson, according to SCOTUS did not have a obligation to "Protect", thus he did not have an obligation to "charge in". He, as the only person with a gun, and as a police officer, did have a moral obligation to go in.C-dub wrote:How does this statement (Or is it your opinion?) align with the SCOTUS decision in 2005 that says the police have no constitutional duty to protect an individual from harm?srothstein wrote: A police officer on duty has an obligation to charge in.

Is it a difference between constitutional duty versus the obligation or nature of the job? Especially since they were there at a school for a reason? Or would that SCOTUS decision not really pertain in this case since it was not really an individual per se, but rather the student body and staff as a whole?
Now, this will be interesting when the civil cases come around, as you know they will....
