#active assailant

[tobbogan-13]

we're having an assailant drill, and someone got locked out

theres a reason I don't go to the bathroom at school

cause there's a very real chance I could never come back

Active Shooters: Upstream work to be done

Active Shooters: Upstream work to be done

Hi All, We watch cameras in a Security Operations Center (SOC) to capture footage, hopefully, left of bang, of bad guys planning to do bad things. And it’s good.

Is Mental Illness a Contributing Factor to Mass Shootings?

Is Mental Illness a Contributing Factor to Mass Shootings?

Hi All,

Please read this Washington Post article entitled “Are video games or mental illness causing America’s mass shootings? No, research shows.”

There is a statement in this article which is: “The fact that somebody would go out and massacre a bunch of strangers, that’s not the act of a healthy mind, but that doesn’t mean they have a mental illness.”

This is a very important article which…
