What makes this seem so off to me is that this is something a kid would come up with. I can imagine in a semi-normal world a mom making a FB post about how she found riverstone in her kids backpack that they put there so they could defend themselves even though it likely just created a false sense of security.

But it’s not a kid, it’s adults who can’t let go of daydreaming in exchange for actually doing something meaningful. The idea just came to him ? Probably while he was daydreaming about saving the day.

    “At this point, we have to get creative, we have to protect our kids first and foremost, throwing rocks, it's an option,” said Dori Bornstein.

At the point that you’ve tried nothing you have to change course and get creative ? I can’t handle people.
