Cheese Head Vs. Meat Head

To all you out there rightly incensed about a sexual assault in Ohio, where the young lady was molested by high school football players while nearly unconcious and nobody stepped forward to help her, or ward off her abusers, there is this story from Wisconsin, of a different sort of man.  Charlie Blackmore,Jr., a Marine veteran, interfered with a vicious assault on a woman who was being stomped and kicked on a city sidewalk.  Read more about the incident here:  semper fi

Sandy Hook, part three, possible outcomes

Prior to the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut,  the Sandy Hook Elementary School installed some new security measures:  an electric lock, intercom and video camera at the front door.  After students arrive the door locks at 9:30 AM and thereafter, a person seeking admittance will have to talk to the officemarm and be buzzed in. 

Such equipment might keep out the mild-mannered Fred Rogers but what if the person huffing and puffing at the door is more like the Big Bad Wolf?  What then little pig?  Is your house made of bricks, or straw?

Sandy Hook, part two, 20 seconds

I figure the adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School had twenty seconds to respond to the armed intruder on December 14th, if they were going to save any of the children in their care.  That's all the time it would have taken Mr. Adam Lanza to step through the shattered front door and walk to the nearest classroom and start firing and killing first-graders. 

It took him a little longer than that because Principal Hochsprung and Mary Sherlach got in his way...but not for long.  He just shot them dead and continued on.

But what if you feel some responsibility for the other people in the house, or business?  What would you do then?
