What do you think about this bit of prose I wrote (vampire story)?
Posted by: | CommentsA tall, thin, blond woman was lying on the operating table. Two pints of blood had been transfused into her already. A nurse had just attached a third pint of whole blood to a catheter that fed into a large blood vessel in her thigh.
She had been hit by a car. A policeman had explained the accident to the ER staff, and the nurse told Dr. Schweinkopf the details.
Witnesses told the police that the woman wearing a jogging suit had run at full speed out into morning rush hour traffic. It was the act of a crazy person. She caused a series of collisions as cars braked and slid into one another. She might have been fleeing something or somebody. She had made it across three lanes of a major street, but then got hit by a Japanese sports car going at least fifty miles per hour. She had no identification on her. The police wanted to talk to her if possible.
The doctor could see that she had suffered ma*sive injuries. She had a deep gash in the center of her face right next to her nose. He looked at the set of x-rays. Her left collarbone and upper left arm bone, the humerus, were shattered. She had six broken ribs. Scariest of all, she had two fractured cervical vertebrae. Her right leg was broken. She had dozens of cuts on her arm and shoulder, some still had little pieces of windshield gla*s stuck in them. Oddly, her cuts were hardly bleeding.
The doctor checked her vital signs. Her vital signs had stabilized, but the chart of her vital signs when she was admitted to the ER was disturbing. Her body temperature and blood pressure had been impossibly low. The doctor was irritated; obviously the blood pressure monitoring device had not been working correctly. Nobody could have blood pressure that low and still be alive.
He looked at her cranial x-rays. There was also a ma*sive wound to the back of her head. Something had pierced the back of the woman’s skull and entered her brain quite deeply. From the looks of the wound to her face, it seemed as if something might have completed transfixed the womans’ head. But that was impossible. Such a wound would have killed any person.
A neurosurgeon was on his way to the hospital. The woman should be dead, but she was still breathing and her heart was puming at over thirty beats per minute. Soon the doctor would have a colleague available to verify the medical miracle that lay on the operating table in front of him. There was no possible explanation for her survival from such terrible injuries.
He checked the lab’s a**lysis of the blood that had been taken from her when she was admitted. There were no drugs of alcohol. Then he saw it – the key to the mystery. The woman’s blood had a super-abundance of free pluripotent stem cells.
Dr. Schweinkopf had recently read about the phenomenon of free floating stem cells in a medical journal. The journal had reported that free floating stem cells occurred in the blood of persons afflicted by third stage vampirism.
He had turned away from the patient to read the blood report. He heard a rustling noise behind him, and spun quickly around.
The blond woman was sitting up on the operating table, her eyes were open, and she was looking at him.
Is this a good way to reduce school shootings?
Posted by: | CommentsSchool shootings are tragic. I’ve seen ideas proposed on Y!A to stop school shootings, e.g. armed teachers, enhanced security, banning handguns, etc. Some were trolls, but others were insightful. I’ve collaborated these ideas and this is what I think will work.
For a start, we should familiarize guns to everyone by raising awareness. Teach them in cla*s, for instance, and have clubs and target practice. Lay everything out. Cars can make incredible ramming and crushing machines, yet we use them everyday and have millions of them on the road, and accidents that occur are usually minor. If we have guns as common and widespread, we won’t have guns pictured as rings of ultimate power.
We’re generally unprepared with intruders. We need guards patrolling the school and monitoring the perimeter for danger as our first line of defense. For high-risk areas, the presence of effective police should be powerful deterrents. We should have shooting drills in the same concept that fire drills are used to raise awareness about effectively handling an emergency. If the first line of defense fails, we need to be prepared from the inside. Apart from physically reinforcing our cla*srooms, teachers should be explicitly trained to handle violent threats, and should be comfortable with using tazers and sprays for such purpose, in addition to distress b**tons.
When faced with an armed shooter, we can’t just cringe; we need to fight fire with fire. May I suggest that in each cla*sroom we install emergency cabinets, each equipped with an easy-to-use firearm which fires quickly and effectively, doesn’t demand perfect aim, and is perfect for temporary defense, instantly putting the advantage at our side. Trying to steal it for your next ma*sacre? Think twice. By breaching the cabinet in any way you just activated the silent alarm for the immediate dispatch for emergency personnel: fully armed officers are sent to the alarmed area at once. The cabinet is checked regularly for function and can only be reset by police personnel. As such, while the distressed teacher fends off the attacker with the emergency firearm, the squad of armed personnel will rapidly come to his aid and protection.
Some of you will be concerned about cost. Yes, it’ll cost money and it’ll cost quite a bit. But since when do you get free lunches? Will you hoard your cash and refuse to do your share and prevent tragedies in the future with it? If we want something to happen we’ll have to do our share. School shootings are not transient; they take time and money to alleviate. It’s 2009 and these murders have no place in our society.
I’m sorry that this is a long one, but what are your views on it?
Nice answers. If we make guns more common, people won’t a*sociate it with power. I think we should have a specialized department for police for protecting schools, or maybe part of the SWAT as their expertise involve handling dangerous situations.
Some shootings stem from the mentally ill. They are harmful to society and must be removed from it, forbidden from handling firearms of any type. We can try hard, but the system is not perfect and a few maniacs will seep into our society to cause damage. We cannot afford to stand there and be trampled on.
Teachers cannot possess private firearms at school; only in an emergency are they given a tool for self-defense. Obviously the teacher will be using it, but it’s for everyone’s good. We’ll have a few boxes conveniently so it’s never out of reach; if the teacher is injured, a brave student could fend off the attacker until police arrive. Had the school been completely unarmed there will be more casualties or worse.
I think we should shift the law in favor against school shootings and using defense against such. Unless the teacher abuses the cabinet he’ll be exempt from laws about murder and such, after all he’s protecting himself, his cla*s, and the school community. It’s unfortunate if one student is injured by his stray bullet, but if in the process he neutralized three attackers who were about to take hundreds of innocent lives he should take credit for his bravery. It’s impossible to expect even a police veteran or sniper to have 100% aim, 100% of the time.
