(NEWSER) – The Department of Homeland Security has released a video advising Americans on how to deal with a mass shooting—and some of its tips have the New York Post scratching its head. For instance, the video suggests that "if you are caught out in the open and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available" ... and then shows a man arming himself with scissors.

Make him eat paste until he gets sick, or throw a chalk board eraser at him and blind him with chalk!

You're in an elementary school. You're a teacher. Mass shooters are on a rampage and heading in your direction. You've got no where to hide but 25 seconds to make 1 decision. What do you reach for?

By whatever means necessary.

instead of whatever means available.

"Necessary" means prior preparation as to meet an attack with eqaul or greater force, instead of "available", which is improvising with what is at hand.

Nothing new about this government's attitude, this is the:

*the one-sided government
*and the, means justifies the end government
*maybe above all, the "I lied" government

HIGHLY DANGEROUS.

edit: anyone have a resource for scissor holsters?
edit 2: how childish is that video? Hide your head under a blanket, you won't be seen by the boogieman?
