[QUOTE="sailfish, post: 1499441, member: 53248"] ...So they can throw it in case of the event of a shooter situation. You heard it here. Instead of coming up with effective solutions, the best they can do is tell kids to throw canned food. Not only would you have to be close enough to a shooter to already be out of luck anyway, you would have to take the time to confront them and also have to be an all-star pitcher for your throw to count without doing nothing more than pissing them off.
