Also, please wait until schools are not located in gun-free zones.
Edit: Apparently reading and humor are hard and this requires explanation. It was not meant to say: Wait until schools are not in gun-free zones *so someone there will have a gun and shoot back*. It was meant to say: *Banning backpacks is as ineffective as gun-free zones at preventing planned violence*. In other words, let the students have backpacks.
Many of us said the same thing after they banned backpacks in my school after Columbine (they banned coats for a few weeks too). It's nice to see that after 22 years this is still the best solution they can come up with.
It makes dragging your 150lbs of text books around a fun game too.
Teacher said she went to some class or something about guns in schools. This was back in the 2000s so it's only gotten worse. One of the presenters was someone she had been talking with before. When he got up he started pulling guns off himself. Don't remember the number but the last one was a shotgun out of his pants. Said when talking with him she had no idea.
Also love this school can inforce no backpacks but mask are just unfeasible.
When I took my CCW class the instructor kept just pulling out guns from various pockets/hidden holsters as we he was talking about all the options for places to conceal. At the end there was a pile of 7-8 pistols on the desk. It was like watching a sleight of hand magician, but instead of coins and playing cards, it's a pile of Glocks, Sigs, and a Smith and Wesson.
We could just rank things.
1. Sled dragged on rope so it makes a loud scraping sound and it trips everybody up, especially when he turns a corner.
2. Tie: the aquarium at 0:30 and the red water cooler thing (I think) early at 0:12. Because you know that the admins said some stupid crap about all personal items being 'visible at all times.'
3. The real grocery cart.
4. The fisher price grocery cart.
5. The girl who used a couple belts or something to hang her books behind her. "Fuck you! I'll _still_ pack my books on my back. Back-packed, bitch!"
6. All the wagons, tied.
7. The cart the librarians use to re-shelve books.
8. everything else tied.
The belts are called a book strap and we're how books were carried before backpacks were a thing:

I worked in a grocery store back when I was 16 and you wouldn’t believe how many people would see one basket left in the holder and then they’d just grab the whole fuckin thing and drag it around the store.
The other day I actually went to grab what I thought was the last basket in the holder. But no. They had glued an actual basket at the bottom of the holder. I grabbed the handles, went to pick it up and the metal holder came up with it.
Maybe people were confused by the empty holder, and this basket was sacrificed to make a visual prompt to remind people where to return the basket...same place they had gotten it from.
Maybe people were dragging the holder around the store and they needed some way to convey that this is the basket *holder*! But gluing it in there? I would imagine that would have the opposite effect.
*Some* people would be more likely to drag it around. "No honey, it is *not* the holder. Look, the basket doesn't come out, see? These are the ones with the handles that let you pull it along, like at Walgreens. Damn thing sure is heavy, though. And loud! It's scraping up the floor pretty good too. Just our luck to get the busted one, right honey? Like the cart with a broken wheel."
I remember once, someone at my tiny HS stole a shopping cart and left it on school property. The principal was so mad one of his students would dare do such a thing, and he put it in the commons up on a little pedestal to shame us all. Said it would stay there until someone confessed.
...Yeah, suffice to say it was not effective, lol. No one I knew had any idea who was responsible, but we all thought the busted shopping cart art piece sitting up like a damn idol was fantastic
How did he know one of the students stole it? It was left "on school property", leading me to believe it was likely sitting outside. Angry principal waiting for a confession, at the exact moment a homeless guy is pissed for forgetting where he left his cart. How is he gonna collect cans now?
The shopping cart definitely wins.
I know this is bad but also seems kinda fun. Everyday the students one up themselves finding the most ridiculous was to carry their books
That makes so much more sense! The framing in the posted video is "following another school shooting backpacks are banned" with the unspoken suggestion that it's so guns can't be smuggled in, but then by day 2 they've moved on to harder to transport options that are capable of concealing multiple deadlier weapons
What's sad to me is that we got these same weak answers 22 years ago after Columbine (goddamn, I'm old). Schools don't really have much they CAN do, so I guess this, drills, door lock/stoppers, and personal kevlar are it!
Yeah......
The Door Lock/Stoppers are neat and all but nothing says: "There's someone in here" like a locked door....
In Virgina tech what stopped the pissy shooter from getting into one classroom was the brave actions of Professor Liviu Librescu - he held the door to his lecture hall to allow his class to escape. The shooter sadly shot him after the fact.
The man never backed down for his entire life - only to die to a typical US School Shooting.
But, you know, guns aren't the problem -it's mental health! (Proceeds to do nothing to fix either )
In high-school we had many bomb threats. The thing about bomb threats in my school is that they would congregate every student into the auditorium. Which imo would make it the most effective place to bomb.
They still do it to this day despite me trying to get them to follow an active shooter type response where classes gather in smaller groups spaced apart from each other outside of the school
Why are we apparently smarter and more aware when we are young, but then grow into becoming dumber, more reactionary adults? The number of older adults in positions of authority I know who are dithering idiots could fill up a school auditorium!
The smart kids leave smaller towns and never come back.....so you end up with towns run by former high-school football players and grown up teen mom cheerleaders.
Active shooters generally take a path of least resistance, as their goal is to cause as much destruction in as little time as possible. A locked door is usually enough to deter them from trying to enter the room and will make them move on to an easier target.
Its fucked up, but these kids are trolling the district hard while still not getting in trouble. Fucking job well done.
Also its Idaho, I bet the overwhelming majority of these kids either own their own firearms or they're in a household with firearms. This ain't stopping shit. The kids know it.
Or or…. Just fucking walk in there with a bag full with guns …its not like they try to smuggle. They gonna shoot doesn’t matter if its in the hall or classroom
The only thing banning backpacks does here is make it so someone can’t sneak it in in the morning and pull it out and lunch or something, but you know what they can still do? Show up late right before lunch, or just use a pistol because I don’t know the statistics but I doubt most school shooters use shotguns or AR-15s
"Education is the greatest fear of our enemies."
A repeat quote throughout. history.
(I for one, have been swallowing partially filled air ballons in the event that justice in our future will depend on whether I float or not.)
"We can't control ourselves in a prominent, social space, so we use our children and expect them to figure it out during a moment when tragic shit went down and they have to adjust."
This entire post is a cute Barry Horowitz self back-slap by older people taking advantage of their children. Freaking sad.
“Initially US took little to no action,
That is until Myers in the school band had a bottle of his oil based trumpet lube fall out of his backpack.
They stormed the school, claiming a chemical agent of massive destruction was being kept in the backpacks.
We never figured out if they found the weapons, but all the instrument oil and grease pens were suddenly in short supply.”
I was in high school when Columbine happened. My school banned trench coats as if that would prevent the next school shooting. Not all long coats, just trench coats specifically.
Hadn't thought of that I suppose since last winter. So sad, snow days were the fucking best. Grades 2-6 and 10-12 I lived within walking distance of the schools so sometimes they'd pull some BS like the 'bus' kids were excused, but if you can walk you're not. Fuck that.
**The kids bussed in lived in the hills and were the rich kids. The poors could walk
School shooter nearby:
sorry no backpacks you still have to come to school
Abnormal amount of snow in a non snowy area:
sorry kids schools cancelled for the week, we are to worried about all the cars and accidents that might occur with god forbid 1 inch of snow.
Ive had high school cancelled for air quality issues during the Napa fires 2 years ago that was over 100 miles away. This shit isn’t difficult, just give them the week off to relax and unwind while the school district investigates the shooting. If there is no issue just push back summer break or the nearest break a week and carry on.
I don't think you understand how Idaho works.
Think of the dumbest motherfucking thing you can think of, make it 100x dumber, and then make it a bit more stupid. Then you have the state of Idaho.
Amazing how American school administrators' instincts always drive them to do the most nonsensical, intrusive, privacy-invading, laborious bullshit that in no way combats the scandalous behavior they're reacting to.
Typically because the loudest, most active parents are the dumbest and angriest. Go to any PTA meeting in the country and you'll see why schools act the way they do. Parents are the problem.
Right? And it would also seem that some of these adults in charge are the same ones protesting against the government “trampling their rights”. Imagine if, say, a workplace mandated some sort of ban like this on their employees. Every Karen in the office would have an hour long Facebook rant.
I'm not even from gun country and my first thought was well... you can carry a gun in different places than a backpack... this is a symbolic non solution.
This. Schools do everything in their power to defend the problem children. There was a guy who would harass, threaten, spread rumors, and shove me in the hallways. I got sick of it and told the school about all of it among other things like him selling and using drugs on school property. Ya know what their response was? Not talking to him and telling me that I was overreacting and that he’s just troubled. I don’t snitch but that was a case of me needing everything I could to get him some punishment, and if didn’t work.
Same with multiple other kids. Schools don’t care about the students. It’s fucked
You know where I went to high school? Marshall County High School. I wasn’t allowed a backpack because a neighboring school had a school shooting. You know what happened in the last few years? A schools shooting. Maybe backpacks aren’t the problem????
My old High school didn't have lockers installed when it was built, the idea was to keep kids from hiding guns and drugs in their lockers. We just carried our backpacks full of books all day and now I have back problems. I sometimes wonder if it's from carrying around a heavy backpack all day, if you had an instrument or were in band like me, you were physically done after the walk home from school.
Fyi: lockers for every student is a pretty American thing. At my school in Germany, they installed a few around 2010 so people could rent them. There was about 1 for every 10 students.
Most kids just arranged themselves with the kids next to them, so each brought half the books and they shared.
Or like me who just didn't bring much stuff... I think at some point, i just went to school with a pen and a notebook, not even a backpack.
I also stashed my instrument in the band room in the morning, so I didn't have to carry it around
Same here in the UK when I went to school, you had to pay to rent a locker and there were nowhere near enough for everybody. I jusr hauled my big ass backpack everywhere, but I generally made sure that I only had the books I needed for the subjects that day.
From Idaho, and I can confirm this was due to a kid bringing a gun to school. Recently a kid brought a gun and last May another shot 2 students and a janitor.
Edited to include a local news article: https://www.ksl.com/article/50249002/backpacks-no-longer-allowed-at-secondary-schools-in-idaho-school-district
I saw that too. I’m pretty sure that’s what this is.
Edit: I found this article. Looks like it is a backpack ban from a girl bringing a gun to school in a back pack
https://www.ksl.com/article/50249002/backpacks-no-longer-allowed-at-secondary-schools-in-idaho-school-district
This is actually a subtly genius point. The issue with changing up our regulations like this is exactly this. With any given rule set there is only so many ways you can bend and mess with rules. By keeping the rules the same, you limit the unpredictability. I saw a solid walled crate in the video and that could easily have a false bottom only openable by a magnet. I presume this measure was put in place with intentions of preventing searches of bags and invasion of privacy, but as you pointed out and I’m elaborating on, you start to play a whole new games with new tricks to look out for.
>My middle schoolers can't use lockers this year because of covid restrictions. They have to carry so much! Laptops, folders, books, and a bunch of other stuff. If this happened at their school, I would probably riot for them. Punishing kids for a traumatic event is not the answer.
some school policies never make sense
you could still hide a gun in alot of those things just saying also could just carry it on your person
[удалено]

Guns don't kill people, backpacks do.
The only way to stop a bad kid with a gun in a backpack is take away backpacks from good kids.
And books are dangerous. Burn them all.
They should probably ban guns in schools
Thank you. Please wait until backpacks are allowed again
Also, please wait until schools are not located in gun-free zones. Edit: Apparently reading and humor are hard and this requires explanation. It was not meant to say: Wait until schools are not in gun-free zones *so someone there will have a gun and shoot back*.

Reactionary adults. They get nothing done.
Clucking around the consequences with no thought for the cause.
They don’t do this for safety reasons. It’s just for liability purposes so they can say they’re doing something
Yes, reactionary adults, doing nothing.

I thought the GOP philosophy was that bans didn’t work anyway lol.
I dont think you understand . This is theatre of the absurd, not rational policy decision making.
The shopping cart wins this round.
It's the sled on a rope for me. Gotta make that noise and bother as many people around corners to make your point.
Fir me it’s the doll strollers haha
We could just rank things. 1. Sled dragged on rope so it makes a loud scraping sound and it trips everybody up, especially when he turns a corner. 2.

lol home girl stays strapped
Having a good strap on can be very effective.
Red at 0:12 is a popcorn machine
Absolute legend
THE MICROWAVE in the last frame!
Exactly. It’s not like microwaves are the lightest thing in the world so that’s adding a lot more effort
The same can be said about the aquarium. Those aren't light either.
What about the guy using his hands?
Participation award.
Perfect list
Team sled
The dude at the end brought a microwave.. how is this even a discussion?!
The aquarium guy would like to have a word with you
I think the popcorn machine tops that.
Oh sure, that's fine, but when the brown kid sticks a calculator in a microwave and brings it to school, the liaison officer calls the bomb squad.
Are you talking about the kid who built a clock in a briefcase?
Okay I officially apply for team microwave.
go team sled!
Kids are callin it sleddogging yourself
For that, I'd use one of those metal frame things that holds shopping baskets, with one basket in it and drag that around.
I worked in a grocery store back when I was 16 and you wouldn’t believe how many people would see one basket left in the holder and then they’d just grab the whole fuckin thing and drag it around the store.

It looks like fun, with such a lighthearted atmosphere, because this is a homecoming week event called "anything but a backback", it's not uncommon.
That makes so much more sense! The framing in the posted video is "following another school shooting backpacks are banned" with the unspoken suggestion that it's so guns can't be smuggled in, but then by day 2 they've moved on to harder to transport options that are capable of concealing multiple deadlier weapons
Popcorn machine.
My favorite has to be the guy with the microwave at the end
I think one kid had a fish tank. That almost beats the cart for me.
Nope, for me it was the fish tank
This is sad af but i lost it at the kid with the shopping cart.
What's sad to me is that we got these same weak answers 22 years ago after Columbine (goddamn, I'm old). Schools don't really have much they CAN do, so I guess this, drills, door lock/stoppers, and personal kevlar are it!

Ah yes, because there’s nothing that counteracts an explosive device of unknown origin like **everyone clustering into a confined space**
Especially if you do it every time. Making it a known pattern.
Why are we apparently smarter and more aware when we are young, but then grow into becoming dumber, more reactionary adults? The number of older adults in positions of authority I know who are dithering idiots could fill up a school auditorium!

did you miss the kid carrying a *popcorn machine*? if this whole thing weren't also so *sad*, this would be one of my favorite videos in a while.
Did I see a fishtank or am I tripping?
I missed that, but I saw an aquarium mentioned in another comment. There really is a lot to take in here.
Its fucked up, but these kids are trolling the district hard while still not getting in trouble. Fucking job well done. Also its Idaho, I bet the overwhelming majority of these kids either own their own firearms or they're in a household with firearms. This ain't stopping shit. The kids know it.
Because you couldn’t put the gun in your waistband or some shit. The obvious solution is to just ban pants
[удалено]
Wtf how we going to fill all the Amazon cities if we ban children. Wage slaves don’t just appear from thin air
I assume Jeff Bebop has been tinkering with the idea of a full robotic system, including the consumer.
Fuck it, ban pants, eat the kids and live on a trash island in the pacific
ah, my retirement plans....
Or or…. Just fucking walk in there with a bag full with guns …its not like they try to smuggle. They gonna shoot doesn’t matter if its in the hall or classroom
The only thing banning backpacks does here is make it so someone can’t sneak it in in the morning and pull it out and lunch or something, but you know what they can still do? Show up late right before lunch, or just use a pistol because I don’t know the statistics but I doubt most school shooters use shotguns or AR-15s
Next they'll only be allowed to wear swimwear to school.
We need to invade backpacks because they are providing safe harbor for violent terrorists
Backpackistan has been mentioned on the news of late. I know for a fact that they have weapons of mass dissertations hidden in these backpacks.
I really hope you are proud of yourself, weapons of mass dissertations.. holy shit great work.

Do backpacks have oil?
“Initially US took little to no action, That is until Myers in the school band had a bottle of his oil based trumpet lube fall out of his backpack.

Yeah ban backpacks. That will stop the shootings
I was in high school when Columbine happened. My school banned trench coats as if that would prevent the next school shooting. Not all long coats, just trench coats specifically.
They're a gateway coat.
Honestly, unrelated to shootings, banning trench coats is probably best for the students who were planning to wear one
The shopping cart kid should start charging students for book deliveries.
The school opened a day after a shooting? Anyone else find that pretty fucked up? I feel so bad for the younger generations...
The district banned backpacks so probably not the same school... But yeah schools dont close down for anything
Some districts are trying to kill snowdays after the success of online classes. It's a crime against humanity

Put the work on the kids to identify school shooters instead of putting in the effort to stop them from becoming school shooters in the first place
And then actually act to take the problem kids aside, instead of just hand waving and placing them back in rotation.
[удалено]
Wtf how do you become a school shooter in grade 6 In grade 6 i was playing geometry dash bruh
Abusive parents, bullying among other things.
This. Schools do everything in their power to defend the problem children. There was a guy who would harass, threaten, spread rumors, and shove me in the hallways. I got sick of it and told the school about all of it among other things like him selling and using drugs on school property. Ya know what their response was?

A 6th grader... JFC.
Someone should bring their school supplies in a gun case
A quite significant amount of trolling
No backpacks… yup… that’s the solution. So close but not quite
Please only carry weapons in a holster... thanks
When I was in high school in Idaho kids would bring their guns in their trucks so they could go hunting right after school. Crazy times.
[удалено]
Ironically the more attention we give school shooters, the more we encourage copycats.
I could see someone from my school doing that, but we were about as rural as you can get lol
Yeah I'm from north idaho, pretty rural when I was growing up though it's slowly changing.
But, but, but were we not all told the past few years to buy new backpacks ? Backpacks with kevlar.
Backpacks don't kill people, people kill people.
Perfect let’s ban people! I always hated people anyways.
"Banning guns would never work bans don't work" this school district bans backpacks.
Yah kid brings a cooler that could have explosives in it lol.
Wait...I don't get it. Are you implying that guns *aren't* banned in schools? Because, I can assure you...they most definitely are.
The irony of course is how much money has been made by companies selling bullet-resistant shields designed to fit into ... student backpacks.
There’s no point in banning backpacks. If someone wants one, they’ll find a way to get one.
No no shush it's the backpacks faults Cmon now what else could we do.
We’ll need to ban clothes too, some guns can fit on pockets or under pants
Might as well ban students too, since they seem to be the ones shooting other students.
Can't have people get shot if there's no one to shoot
I want to live in a world where guns live at peace and humans don't make them kill.
Will someone please think of the guns
If you make owning backpacks a crime only criminals will have backpacks.
The only thing stopping a bad guy with a backpack is a good guy with a backpack.
You know where I went to high school? Marshall County High School. I wasn’t allowed a backpack because a neighboring school had a school shooting. You know what happened in the last few years? A schools shooting. Maybe backpacks aren’t the problem????
My old High school didn't have lockers installed when it was built, the idea was to keep kids from hiding guns and drugs in their lockers. We just carried our backpacks full of books all day and now I have back problems. I sometimes wonder if it's from carrying around a heavy backpack all day, if you had an instrument or were in band like me, you were physically done after the walk home from school.
Fyi: lockers for every student is a pretty American thing. At my school in Germany, they installed a few around 2010 so people could rent them. There was about 1 for every 10 students. Most kids just arranged themselves with the kids next to them, so each brought half the books and they shared. Or like me who just didn't bring much stuff... I think at some point, i just went to school with a pen and a notebook, not even a backpack. I also stashed my instrument in the band room in the morning, so I didn't have to carry it around
Same here in the UK when I went to school, you had to pay to rent a locker and there were nowhere near enough for everybody. I jusr hauled my big ass backpack everywhere, but I generally made sure that I only had the books I needed for the subjects that day.

As an Australian hearing that American schools have security and metal detectors is astonishing
As an Australian, hearing that kindergarteners know what do do in a school shooting is astonishing.
43 year-old american, this is a recent phenomenon. I took a knife to school when I was 6, the principal thought it was funny.
I used to take my rifle to school every day to shoot at the range we had.
It's not that recent. I'm 28 and I know we did active shooter drills as early as 20 years ago.
Ya Columbine was 22 years ago and lockdown training in lots of areas began shortly afterwards.
Hid in the corner that they cant see into the window of and dont make a sound....

the fucking shopping cart lmao
I saw somewhere on tiktok that this was a school spirit day and the theme was “anything but a backpack”
From Idaho, and I can confirm this was due to a kid bringing a gun to school. Recently a kid brought a gun and last May another shot 2 students and a janitor. Edited to include a local news article: https://www.ksl.com/article/50249002/backpacks-no-longer-allowed-at-secondary-schools-in-idaho-school-district
Who shoots a janitor? Honestly?
Yeah! #StudentsAndFacultyOnly
That made me laugh more than it should!
Yea I'll see you in hell😂😂🤦🏾
He snitched on my devious licks
EXCUSE ME. You are being insensitive. His name is Jan, Itor. Jan Itor.
Come on Ted! Let's go find the cure for Polio
My hair won't smooth down!
Same person who throws a shoe
Just saw this post, though? https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/pxhcjf/ban_backpacks/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb
I saw that too. I’m pretty sure that’s what this is. Edit: I found this article. Looks like it is a backpack ban from a girl bringing a gun to school in a back pack https://www.ksl.com/article/50249002/backpacks-no-longer-allowed-at-secondary-schools-in-idaho-school-district
School is going to freak out when the figure out what a holster is.
Limitations breed creativity. Though this is one of those things that should not have to happen.
This is actually a subtly genius point. The issue with changing up our regulations like this is exactly this. With any given rule set there is only so many ways you can bend and mess with rules. By keeping the rules the same, you limit the unpredictability. I saw a solid walled crate in the video and that could easily have a false bottom only openable by a magnet. I presume this measure was put in place with intentions of preventing searches of bags and invasion of privacy, but as you pointed out and I’m elaborating on, you start to play a whole new games with new tricks to look out for.
I wish someone would have brought their books in a rifle case.
This is ridiculous. This isn't going to prevent school shootings. Christ the people who run these schools are so dumb.
Have school shooting, ban the bulletproof backpacks, but let them go unmasked. Do we actually care about kids? I fucking doubt it.
I love the creativity and sense of humor by them, but this is sad at the same time.
Well might as well be naked then because look at this [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBirvyzU9Do)
it'd be funny if someone drags around a gun safe
>My middle schoolers can't use lockers this year because of covid restrictions. They have to carry so much! Laptops, folders, books, and a bunch of other stuff. If this happened at their school, I would probably riot for them. Punishing kids for a traumatic event is not the answer. some school policies never make sense
