Why would Washingtonn County need these?

Link to fawning "story" here

Don't you love the media?

Here's a story about something that happened in Troy Township last night.

"Tense Moments In Coolville Standoff" the headline says.

One would be led to believe that the "standoff" occured in Coolville.  The issue is that there is not a Brimstone Road in Coolville.

The residence just happens to be served by the Coolville Post Office which has the zip code of 45723.  So, if you live in the 45723 zip code............well, you must live in Coolville.

I really like it when they report on an event at the Eastern high school.  They claim that the high school is in Reedsville, which is about 15 miles away (by driving) maybe 11-12 miles if you were a crow.

Both Tuppers Plains and Chester are about 2-3 miles from the school, but the school get's their mail from the Reedsville Post Office, hence the school magically is in Reedsville.

Why can't the media just say the incident occurred in Troy Township?  If it occurs in Coolville village limits.....then say it occurred in Coolville.

Amazing the lazy reporting we get.  It's not only the big things that makes one not believe the media, it's little things like this as well.  If they can't get this right, what else are they wrong on?

On a side note, I'm impressed with the Sheriff's office in their restraint.  Usually these types of episodes result in law enforcement burning a house down with the alleged offender still inside.

Washington County: Our School campuses are completely safe for armed criminals.

Dumb laws + no common sense in law enforcement = School campuses that are wide open and safe for armed criminals. There will be no armed resistance to a lunatic on a shooting spree.

And to prove that our campuses are safe for armed criminals, we'll arrest a boy for having a .22 pistol in his (locked) car (returning from target practice) (completely normal activity in Southeastern Ohio), in the parking lot. And on top of this, the boy is charged with a felony and had to spend the night in jail.

So, law enforcement is going to keep our school campuses completely unprotected. We don't want any private citizens defending themselves or others, you see.

You say it's against the "law" to have a firearm on school property(including parking lots). I wonder why the writers of the 2nd amendment didn't mention this restriction when they wrote it? We must be a lot smarter than they were!

We want to keep our school kids completely unprotected from armed criminals, then advertise our idiocy with actions / stories like this.

We read storied about Virginia Tech students wishing some of their classmates were armed to defend them from the mad man that killed 32 unarmed students.

Pierre Lemieux.org thoughts on guns and school shootings.... strangely logical from a French Canadian.

This would be a great case for jury nullification....in case anyone in Washington County's jury pool is reading this.
