If only someone was armed...
Hi all! This may be my first post?
I just wanted to re-visit a tragic event that touched me and my friends back when I was in high school. Peetzakilla posted: Quote:
Here is a link to the article which describes the event: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...8/ai_14688386/ Ben was 17 when he was killed, so he wouldn't have been able to legally carry a firearm at the time, but the manager was the last one killed, and was killed in her office! If the manager had a weapon, maybe, JUST MAYBE she would have been able to take that psychopath (Nate Dunlap) down. BTW, Nate Dunlap was also a student at my high school and was NOT an outcast/wierd guy that fits the profile for a deranged shooter. Peetzakilla is spot on. I just can't believe that CEC would dare reply in that fashion, when the tragedy that killed Ben Grant could have been prevented by an armed manager. Did they forget already?! because I can guarantee that none of his friends have forgotten about him. Obviously, CEC's policy regarding firearms in their restaurant did not prevent Dunlap from harming their employees. |

Three NC politicians were interviwed by a local news station and the story aired tonight. Two were Republicans, and one was a Democrat. Two were females. They all stated that in light of the recent Arizona tragedies, they have applied for permits and intend on carrying their own defensive weapons. Despite the atmosphere on the national news, this was good to hear.

Strangely, they have other policies that don't prevent criminal acts as well. CEC not only has the policy of allowing strangers to enter the business, but requires that employees interact with such strangers. Employees are not kept safely behind bullet resistent barriers. Quote:

Just something that came to mind, when reading the last post...
I worked for Wal-Mart for a year and a half, and was shocked to find out that WM takes out a life insurance policy on all of it's full time emplo...I mean, associates. In this scenario, if CEC did something similar, they would actually MAKE money off of this situation. Just something to think about. |
