Madkal posted:I work in a college and this year we were given a brief seminar/workshop on what to do if there was an active shooter situation and it all seemed pretty bleak. Pretty much what the guy told us was that if we were outdoors when it is announced that there is an active shooter situation we must run away from the college as soon as possible and under no circumstances enter any building. If we are indoors during such a situation we must find a room and lock/barricade it as soon as possible. The room must remained locked and barricaded until emergency crews arrive and deliver an all clear. All this sounds logical and rational and such, but the downer part of it was that once you are in the room you must not open it up for anyone, even co-workers. It goes under the assumption that the shooter might pose as someone trying to hide to gain entry to a locked room. Again, all very practical but the idea that people are outside running for the lives trying to get into locked rooms where there might be just one person holed up in seems terrifying to me. Oh yeah. No chance I would refuse to let someone in. Not saying this to sound high and mighty or to flatter myself. When I read about heroic people charging shooters and sacrificing themselves for others, I always think: I am not selfless enough to do that. But in the situation you described, I don't see how a person could possibly refuse entry to another. Not saying it's right or wrong, just looking at it from a (my) realistic perspective.

The guy giving the workshop tried to explain it to us as much as possible, probably seeing how freaked out we were about it, that what he was describing was the best way to survive the situation. He said that he knows it sounds hosed up to lock the door and and not let anyone in, but if you are looking to survive that is the best way to do it. He admitted that it was pretty much every man for himself.

Well, you have to think of it in terms of whether your good intentions will lead to the deaths of yourself and everyone else in the room. I've never been in such a situation but I have to imagine that poo poo changes real quick when a person who wants to murder you for no particular reason gets thrown in the mix.

The whole point is to look as much as possible as if no one is in there so their rear end in a top hat desire to kill more people keeps them trucking once they meet the minimal resistance of a closed door. Letting people in makes the hiding place more noticeable as there's no way for you to know they aren't literally running from the shooter who is now watching the targets in the field of view increase, or that the sound of the door opening and closing hasn't now caught their attention. Active shooter drills are really hosed up poo poo. The hardest for me is just leaving people as you evacuate. It's way easier for me to rationalize turtleing up in a hidey hole than not making sure everyone along my exit route is also getting the gently caress out of there.

Best of the Left? That guy Wade is a trip but I like how the host always plays his calls, it's a nice little balance after an hour and fifteen minutes of The Young Turks pretending to be angry. But anyway the next week the first call in comment was about how WSH is just a dogwhistle that gets used to conveniently validate every "not racist just realist" reddit rear end in a top hat's opinion.

Yea, turning off lights and cell phones were mentioned too. Also not standing anywhere near a window or door, not making any phone calls until the all clear (good luck with that one at a college though). The worst feeling when we did the workshop was (for at least myself) wondering if a situation like that ever happened and if I would have to be the one leaving my co-workers locked outside or vice versa.

I would probably perform and execute some flips and kicks that both incapacitate the threat(s) and remove me from the premises as quickly as possible. It would look really cool.

I never watched one so I don't even know what the bodies looked like but now I'm curious if it happend to be like "look at all these terrible black dead people who died for bad reasons", or if it was just equal opportunity foul. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Dec 15, 2015 |

This is Hell (long, interesting interviews [though annoyingly many are by phone]), The Axe Files (David Axelrod doing p good interviews w some heavy-hitters), Backstory (3 academic guys who focus on different eras discuss past events that lead to present political situations), Decode DC (similar to gabfest), On the Media always ends up discussing political journalism. There's more but those are a p good start, though like all podcasts they can sometimes seem a little unpolished (except the NPR ones).

I think that's the general image of the site, yeah. Dude didn't seem to be terribly interested in changing that image, he seemed pretty proud of building a reputation off candid videos of people beating the poo poo out of each other. Which I think is pretty gross, but to each his own I guess. coyo7e posted:Does anyone remember the Faces of Death series of videos?

Faces of Death was a simpler time when we weren't so fascinated with the races of the people we were watching die, just the fact that they were dying on camera. raditts fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Dec 15, 2015 |

People like Ted Cruz make we wish there was some kind of libel law regarding scientific data. Though that does remind me - exactly how much of a challenge has ratifying the agreement got in the houses of Congress?

I know Bill Nye debated that creationist; so sometimes I wish Bill Nye or NDT would directly challenge politicians to a debate on climate science. But then I wonder if I really want to see those two guys get dragged out of their "science is awesome!" bubble and into the nasty world of mainstream politics. I don't doubt for a second that the right wing media would be willing to do everything to discredit them. Echo Chamber fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Dec 15, 2015 |

Hmm, Monday's show seemed to be super caffeinated or something. The segment with all four correspondents hollering over each other followed by holy poo poo is this guy animated and rapid-firing back and forth with trevor during the interview. I'm not quite sure what happened but i don't remember anything about the show except war on christmas and get people drunk on your late night show.Kings Of Calabria posted:This is Hell (long, interesting interviews [though annoyingly many are by phone]), Radio Dispatch is a pretty alright regular show, which features a lot of interesting interviews and discussions on recent/current events.

Hatin' the Jews is a perennial bigo-tree, it never really went away. It's not that surprising that you would get a noticeable concentration of anti-semites when you're pulling a sample of Trump supporters.

Well saying you would want a registry for one minority and not another makes you a hypocrite so at least that go was being honest about his bigotry, and we appreciate that. Maybe he should run for president. The whole who said it: Trump or a racist sandwich was hilarious. Klepper is becoming my fave correspondent just for the sheer amount of balls on him.

The show is firing on all cylinders. Klepper's bit was genius, I also liked the one-act play with Hasan and Roy Wood, Jr. Honestly, it's so hard for me to pick a favorite correspondent right now. Klepper, Minhaj, J Willy, and Roy Wood, Jr. are all killing it in my opinion. There have been so many excellent shows lately, I'm so excited things are going this well with Trevor at the helm. I did not expect this much this soon.

It says something when one of the more sane remarks is utterly wrong on who they'd be speaking to. I'm morbidly curious as to what would happen, and how fast poo poo would fall apart globally, if one of them did get in.
