The most ironic effect of school shooter training is that it encourages more school shootings.
I was surprised that "you look like you'd shoot up a school" is becoming a relatively common insult in middle school kids.
The more society thinks about school shootings, the more mentally troubled people will think about school shootings.
Shooting up schools is a fad. Just like many other types of murders have gone through fads (mail bomber). Copy cat murderers are our biggest problem, and becoming hysterical when school shootings happen is why copy cats are so prolific.

- tazard 8y agoPerhaps now they could be sued for giving a future shooter ideas? You are probably right, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
