Protect the child, and you protect the adult. I can't help feeling there is some solution in considering how we would protect our little children if they were under attack. Yes, I know, many of the attacks have, indeed, been on school children, and it hasn't inspired us to do anything particular to ward off the mass murders.
I still can't help but think there is some solution in considering the problem from this vantage point. When the children are at risk, the instinct is to do whatever it takes to protect them.
So, what could we do? I stop only briefly to consider this, for it is already long past bedtime.
For one thing, you don't leave the child in harm's way. You run to the child, swoop him up, and carry him to safety. So, how does that translate into protecting our schools from attack, and, likewise, to protecting adults? Do we swoop in and take our children out of school, and take everyone out of movie theaters and public places?
Doesn't seem we can do that. That doesn't seem to be the answer.
Guess I'll go to bed and think on this some more.
