The six victims — three students and three staff members — didn’t have to die at Covenant Christian School in Nashville back in 2023. And a woke administrator might well as have contributed as much to their deaths as the transgender, Christian-hating lunatic who shot them dead.
What would you say if a security consultant did an analysis and found your kid’s school’s biggest vulnerability lay right at the front door. Specifically, the glass panels in the door itself and the large adjacent windows. For $3,000, the consultant wrote, that vulnerability could be greatly mitigated.
But your uber-woke school principal, sitting on her high horse, said no thanks to mitigating that risk. “We don’t want to adopt that security posture at this time.”
Fast forward two years later when an evil lunatic shot a couple of rounds through the glass front doors at the Covenant Christian School, then kicked out the remaining glass and sauntered in to carry out a spree shooting.
Katherine Koonce, the school’s administrator, was the second victim to die. But she didn’t have to. Neither did the heroic janitor Big Mike or the innocent children.
Why? Because $3,000 could well have delayed the evil social misfit long enough for police — who arrived quickly — to engage her outside before she made entry.
At the Bulletproof Church Safety Conference held in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, we saw first-hand what laminates on glass can do. We’re not talking the stuff they sell at Lowe’s, but the commercial grade, NIJ-approved product.
Yours truly volunteered to swing a bat at the stuff to test its mettle…and mine. Nate McVicker, a threat analyst and sales rep for Safe Haven Defense, knelt behind a glass panel and told me to swing away with an aluminum baseball bat after he’d already thrown a couple of bricks at the glass panel.
After 18 months of TRT and dedicated time at the gym, I’ve gotten pretty lean and put on a pound or three of muscle. My cardio has never been better. Stepping up, I intended to breach the laminated glass by striking the same spot repeatedly.
I put my whole body into that first swing. The glass didn’t budge. It felt like hitting a cement wall. Frankly, it startled me that nothing really happened. “I guess I need to swing harder,” I thought to myself.
So I kept swinging hard and fast at roughly the same spot. Still nothing.
I beat the holy fecal matter out of that glass with everything I had. After about 40 seconds (per the video) McVicker called me off. Frankly, after 40 seconds of full-on strikes with maximum effort, I was breathing heavy and didn’t have a whole lot of big swings left in me.
You want something like that for your kid or grandkid’s school entry area?
After all, the vast majority of forced entries relating to school violence are made upon the glass at the traditional entrances. It happened in Nashville, and it happened in Newtown.
What if I told you there’s even a federal COPS grant that will pay for the laminate and the installation of the material at your public, private, or religious school? Would there be any reason not to install this?
Perhaps if you’re a woke, “We don’t want to adopt that security posture at this time” type.
Go to your kid’s or grandkid’s school. Ask the school administrator if they have laminate glass at the entrances and if not, to get on mitigating that vulnerability. If he or she blows you off, go to the superintendent.
If your superintendent is Dr. DEI and blows you off, go to the next school board meeting. During public comments, bring this up. Talk about the federal grant to secure your entrances and tell them about how you’ve been dismissed by others under their supervision. Let them know that if they do nothing and, God forbid, something like a Covenant Christian or a Sandy Hook happens, they will be held accountable by parents and voters at the ballot box. If they’re lucky.
There’s a catch: The COPS grants will be exhausted by the end of June, so it needs to be addressed ASAP. Sure, the COPS grant program is likely to be renewed next budget year, but nothing’s guaranteed. What’s more, some of these companies will help write the grant and incorporate their grant-writing service fee into the overall bid. With their experience doing these on a regular basis, the grant should sail through easily.
I went to my local school the Monday after the conference and they were thrilled with the information I brought. They already had a bid, but I brought them a better product at a better price with grant-writing included.
