#Guns #Schools #Schoolsafety
I am an educator and am in tears right now for so many reasons; 1. This is brilliant. 2. Necessity is the mother of invention. 3. What a sad state of affairs that we need these in our classrooms. 4. Your heart and compassion for the current state of affairs, how we live, and genuine concern for saving ALL lives, has taken my breath away. I pray we are able to fundraise the heck out of our community partners for those districts that simply will not be able to take this expense (well worth EVERY penny) on. THANK YOU FOR THIS ~
Imagine living in a country where you need security measures in SCHOOLS
@@mildlydispleased3221- it gets worse. Imagine living in a country where politicians take away a woman’s rights to her own body by passing strict regulations on her reproductive system because “every life deserves a chance” but don’t believe “every life deserves a chance” when it comes to passing legislation on who can/can’t own weapons, how many weapons one can own, or ANY regulations at all. Even when they know, the life they fought so hard for to be born when in the womb, may end up nothing but a🩸ddy pool of tissue on the floor one day after an 🇺🇸 terrorist decides he can do it “because the second said so”
@@mildlydispleased3221 those living in Saudi Arabia and qatar must be thankful for not having to live through this madness
If you are crying over this video, you need to see a Therapist.
@@inthedarkwoods2022if you’re making someone feel bad about being emotional when it comes to school shootings then YOU need to see a therapist.
So instead of better laws, we depend on companies like this.
I'm glad this exists, but it shouldn't be necessary.
The laws are already being broken, because, evil people will always exist. It is a sad truth
Better laws? What law stops a person from KILLING? We already have death penalties or life in prison. You mean laws to stop law-abiding citizens from NOT getting a gun because criminals get them regardless and dont care about LAWS. Thats literally what makes them criminals/killers. You people are hilarious and delusional.
But It Is And I Hope It Gets Installed Soon.
What law can we pass that will stop evil people from showing up and killing kids? Law's make certain actions illegal, they don't stop certain actions from happening.
@@Ryan-jc6hi Gun control, obviously. It’s much harder to massacre dozens of people with a knife or a hatchet.
100 % for it . Very cost effective way to keep our most precious commodity safe at all the times .
Shame on them. Stopping guns is easier and less expensive. This room will not protect children from psychological damage after an attack.
It's definitely a waste of money. The killer doesn't need to start shooting until they are IN THE ROOM they want to do the killings in. Then what good it this BS? You people really dont think, do you. 🤦🏾♂️
Holy shit you people are foolish if you think this is gonna stop anything💀.
@@sanatabichannel9194 this man just did something while you have done nothing it’s nearly impossible for gun control in America so stop focusing on the impossible and come up with a solution for now sounds innovative to me
@@inflation1139 sandy hook is prime example kids were stuffed in closets and drawers before shooter entered classroom the kids hidden away survived :/
Very sad to say that it is a amazing idea. Cost effective and easy to use. A great safe measure until we find the real solution.
For sure sad. Kinda sad some parents don’t want police protecting schools with weapons. This is something at least right
Here's a real solution: BAN GUNS
@@legendofzelda2324kinda sad people still fervently defend gun laws considering the state of schools right now. Unfortunate.
@@legendofzelda2324kinda sad they have to in the first place
This is completely sad, the fact that schools NEED these is atrocious instead of actually dealing with the issue.
How should you deal with the issue other than this and armed guardsmen patrolling the campus during school hours. No one cares about your feelings this is very practical to keep our babies safe
@@D1_Tactical Armed Guardsmen Are Too Dangerous, Just Bulletproof The Walls, Doors And Windows And Make Uniforms Bulletproof. No Weapons Needed.
@@D1_Tactical if the country had followed the rest of the civilised World decades ago with stricter gun laws it wouldn't be in this mess. But America knows best.
@@D1_Tactical now we just need measures to keep them safe from groomers
@@D1_Tacticalit’s just a sad situation for America but I agree with it. Shouldn’t have to but this is America.
The permanent unit could also offer additional protection if there is a tornado warning and you can't get to a safe place in time. So this thing is actually a very good idea considering the weaker construction methods of newer buildings
If the building goes down so does the room. Not sure if you realize that.
@@hectorportillo2572 Most schools are designed with concrete blocks at least at their core. Ours functioned as a community shelter when tornadoes were forecast, but I guess these days everything is stick-framed... The older schools around here will stand strong. When tornadoes were around, we went into the concrete block hallways and hunkered down.
Drop ceiling. Does the room have a bulletproof ceiling inside it?
That’s what everyone wants to know.
😢 life saving and so darn heartbreaking at the same time.
1. Tile ceiling
2. Door??
3. Fires or bombs?
Not good enough.
As a custodian at an elementary school here are my thoughts: It's great, but it won't work for every school. Teachers are told to hold their room doors open for a less than a minute to let students in. With class sizes being what it is, there is no room for this thing. Fire marshalls in my area do not say anything about how classroom layouts are, they just let it go. Teachers will often use empty spaces as storage. If it is used as a quiet corner, teacher has to have full view of students within that spot.
Glass half empty guy
I love how schools and workplaces in the USA are turning into Gears of War maps
This, I could see as a possible good idea because it serves multiple purposes, and since we can't get politicians to agree on anything, because they're selfish, this at least provides protection. It's better than the idea of the military deployed to every class for just in case moments.
Sad reality, resulting of children's ( safety) rights and women's bodily autonomy rights are subjugated to gun-owners rights.
Law makers should be ashamed.😢
What about the drop ceiling? Couldn't the attacker just go that way?
Amen
The fact we need this is so sad.
They don’t NEED this they need it like they need fire extinguishers,sprinkler system and a fire alarm. Good to be prepared but very very high probability they’ll never use it.
The door jams🗿
"....to give everybody a chance to go home at night to their loved ones."
He is not talking about 1970's Bronx, he is not talking about 2023 Afganistan, he is talking about every classroom in America. As they like to remind us in every other sentence they pronounce, the 'greatest' country in the world.
Cluster charge deployed
Looked like by the time that lady deployed that room everyone's dead.
So sad that we even have to have this 😢
So say the shooter grabs a desk pushes it near the wall of this room, Pops out a ceiling panel and fires through the ceiling panel into a small room packed with people?
Great idea. Saw this and thought- not cool with a drop down ceiling that still allows access from above by going through the panels.
Cluster Charge Deployed.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I was in the bulletproof industry. I created a system that was invisible to the eye, disguised as normal equipment found in a classroom. Tested and certified and the school districts would not allocate funds for it. At least not in CA. Not only that, I had death threats so much that I had to travel with my own global threat specialist for protection. There were haters who said I was exploiting a problem when what I was doing was coming up with a full proof way to protect our kids and faculty during an attack. The fight to get the school districts to spend the money became so challenging I closed the business but before doing so I donated product to schools that had active shooter history. So I honor everyone who has come up with an idea to help and wish you all the luck.
What’s to stop whoever from shooting from above
that's what I am saying. Don't think they thought this through.
Or starting a fire?
Fire alarm goes off
Teacher: The bell doesn't dismiss you I do!
Teachers Pet: that's the fire alarm
Teacher:Shit! Get out single file line
is it a wall or a board??????????? please answer please
Very sad that this is such a great idea… very sad it even has to be made
What about the ceilings
i would support this 100%
Thos will not work unless the tile from the ceiling is removed it would be a simple move of a desk to move tile and then everyone is in that compact room when the shooter is now over head
School's also should have professional arm guards and metal detectors.
What would stop a shooter from pushing it back closed and squishing everybody in there? The locking mechanism is just on the door, right, and not the sliding walls?
Oh that’s a good question.
Make it available
Hmmm..., put equal thought into revising gun liscencing?🤔🤷🏿
The gentleman who created this likely does not have the ability to 'revise gun licensing' so he did the thing he could and came at it from another angle. We are so critical in this country. His heart is in the right place and he DID something that can save lives.
The EF5 tornado🗿
A fantastic idea which has the potential to save lives
When you mix fuel, metal oxide and metal powder in just the right way, it burns at two thousand degrees Celsius. Hot enough to cut through nearly any barrier known to man. Throw some C4 into the mix...and you've got one hell of a combination.
- Thermite
Brilliant!!!
Fuze:
What happens when the shooter stacks up a few desks, climbs them, knocks the drop cieling down & shoots from above????
I don’t care what it cost I don’t care how sad it is
Build one in every classroom in America.
The president should be demanding these be built & authorizing the government to pay for them.
I saw a version of this on Twitter. I don’t get it. The first clip on here, has no door. It has no use. The second clip and the rest, have an open door. So what do you mean it’s “bulletproof” if it’s still unsafe?
Having a “bulletproof” room inside of a room that is supposed to be safe for all students, sounds dumb. Why not remake the schools and have each room be bulletproof themselves, yeah?
This is a great idea. They all need to be attached to the ceiling like that though so no one can jump on a desk and reach over that wall. I’ve seen demonstrations where the top was open, but hopefully that was just a demonstration and not the final product. At $50,000 a piece, I don’t see how these would end up in every classroom in America though.
Seems like a REALLY expensive option when the clear problem is “Mental Health”, and removing dangerous individuals from innocent people/ children… Just saying…
It is heartbreaking that we live in a world where your business model needs to exist, but that being said, I commend you so much for offering a product that transcends politics and can help save lives now! With admiration, gratitude, and respect, let me say: thank you!!
Where are the priorities in the USA today?
About one person is killed by a scorpion every 2.5 years in the United States.
Alligators in the United States kill less than one person per year.
There are about two deadly shark attacks per year in the United States.
There are about four fatal bear attacks in the United States each year.
Poisonous spiders kill about seven people per year in the United States.
Snakes kill about seven people per year in the United States.
About twenty-two people are killed by cows each year.
There were forty-one people killed by dogs in the United States in 2021
About sixty-two people die from bee stings each year in the United States.
About two hundred people are killed yearly by hitting deer with their cars.
Our top ten deadliest creatures combined killed less than 350 people in the United States yearly.
Terrorists kill less than 25 people per year in the United States.
Police shoot and kill over one-thousand citizens per year.
The folding system malfunions or jams🗿
The 50.Bmg perishing tungsten rounds 🗿
No...
The reason why is that (imo) i can forsee these rooms being used for what they are not attended for 🤔
Thank you Thank you! Wow! Atleast somebody did something !
I want one for my house how much
This is great as an idea but how does it deal with 2 or more shooters, especially if one of them gets inside the room?
Sad
Good idea make a room for guns instead of a licence for guns
The laws in the US are so flawed that it's ridiculous. Instead of making it much more difficult to buy and own a firearm, we are pushed to make safety precautions for the next time something tragic like this happens. It's nearly impossible to be able to get something like a food vendors license, but buying a gun is as simple as going into a pawnshop. How and why?
I'm not trying to sound smart or anything, but what about the ceiling? Most schools have drop ceilings, and if someone really wanted to get in there, all they'd have to do is remove some ceiling tiles, and then the students would be sitting ducks. Just a thought.
And what are you gonna do when the shooter can climb over the wall threw the ceiling tiles
But what are you gonna do when the shooter enters the class half way through those 30-20 seconds
Bullet proof doors ad close it when the class starts.
What if the shooter push it in-
It's bullet proof alright. But is it sound proof also? Just a curious thought.
It’s sadly a trained drill teacher says be quiet they gotta be quiet no matter what they hear..kids are smart and brave and they know it breaks my heart..
I would hope it is though.
Or you could just get a thicker door with a lock.
The 20 mm anti tank rifle that fires tungsten projectiles that can oeninrate up to 30mm of amour🗿
This is so smart
*I hope Republicans don't try to stop this innovation.*
The rpg 7 🗿
This is pretty disgusting, much like war profiteering.
There is design flaw only the walls are bullet proof the ceiling tiles are not you can knock them through the room is then obsolete because the shooter than then shoot over the top look at 0:42 stupid idea to place the teachers desk near the wall for the shooter to stand on.
Thats the worst idea I have ever seen, selling guns must be a lot of profit
And they call themself The first World country 😂😂😂
Such an invention with great potential… but they still make us sit in a corner.
When you mix fuel, metal oxide and metal powder in just the right way it can burn up to 2000°с -thermite
the beginning of vault tec
😢
Cluster charg going out
Wow...this is like 3rd world country. When schools are no longer safe. Thank goodness i am not from US
Why are we treating symptoms of a problem. People are the problem. Let's focus on getting back to being a good society and focusing on the mental health of our children instead of making schools and everywhere else like a fortress's.
Certified american moment
One amazing and great innovation two maybe make it harder for just anyone to get a gun
I hope the owner of this company becomes Elon Musk rich for this great idea! This is the very best idea I have seen in a long while! We need these in every classroom in America!
I need to get new clothes
This is rediculas and pointless. If the shooter STARTS the shooting in that room , what good is it? They usually only shoot one room up then kill themselves. 🤷🏾♂️
What you said is completely untrue, not a shred of truth to it.
Do you realize how many officers you can employ for that kind of money? Seems like a waste to me
So Saving Lives Is A Waste Of Money? Screw You!
That's a Joke right. In the video you can clearly see the tiles on the roof. All the shooter has to do is grab a desk put a chair on it remove a few tile's and your all trapped. The shooter's now looking down on all of you and unfortunately it's likely everyone in room will die. This one should be named the kill box or death box some along those lines.
Its a very good idea, but you Americans also need to try to fix the problem which is "guns". Gun control.
That is so dumb lmao...it has no use lol
Or you could just ban guns lol
or just do online classes - school looks dystopian as heck - good luck having everyone run for that as it unfolds yikes america
What if they start a fire? Or have pipe bombs? The Columbine Shooter had pipe bombs and started a fire.
I love it! Thank you. Please contact GA's governor.
😂 First world problems
Shame on youuuu .., is it a school or a war place? Stop guns stop 😢
Bulletproof Vest Is A RIGHT. Stop Trying To Control My Body Like ISIS
Poor kids. So much fear is instilled in our world. Look at the last 3 years. So many still cannot get out of the masks that never worked to stop anything. I pray for our youth and I know this invention comes from a good place but to see this is so sad. How did we ever get here?
It's not the World just America, sadly that's what happens when a majority values guns over kids livelihoods.
Thank God that people are taking these situations with gun violence serious and thinking of the welfare of the children that are involved in these violent crimes, but we still need to fight for gun restrictions.❤❤❤❤
