It was a busy weekend.

The student body has been fighting against armed guards every since it was purposed.

They said that somebody innocent would end up dead.

PSU has no active shooter protocol but they have guys with guns, they don't have a campus wide alert system but they need armed deputies for safety.

The community college wanted to arm security guards and put card locks on all external doors. The guards and the student body fought off both changes. They have an active shooter plan and a notification system.

I really liked Portland Community College great teachers, nice campus vibe, real concern for the welfare of the student body. I hated PSU, it was bureaucratic, stiff and impersonal.

I like the Cheerful Tortoise. It's a friendly little bar and the name is a literary nod to a bar in one of my favorite books, too bad for them.

Handguns are for killing people. They should only be present when someone very likely needs to kill someone else, because they raise the stakes by being present.
