[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1115303, member: 14668"] No. Had[I] I[/I] been the armed teacher in that room...before resorting to lethal force I would have evaluated what threat, if any, the man posed to the students in my care. Obviously, if the man was unarmed and merely shouting and acting strangely, lethal force would [I]not[/I] be appropriate and I would simply remove the children from the room and call 911. If, however, the man [I]was[/I] armed or otherwise posed a risk to the children due to disparity of force (for example a 300 lb psychotic man vs a 120 lb female school teacher) then lethal force [I]does[/I] become appropriate. It has nothing to do with being "judge and jury", and everything to do with the [B]fundamental human right of defense of self and others[/B]. [/QUOTE]
