Psychological question? #2

Prevent a high school shooting

Prevent a elementary school shooting

201

This is hypothetical - don't take serious. Let's say there were two lockdowns occurring at the same time. You only could prevent one. Would you save the younger kids? Or the older kids? Explain your reasoning.(hypothetical) Please don't make offensive jokes about school shootings. This isn't a silly WYR poll of mine.

        • I'd stop the high school shooting, because I'm in high school and I don't like my odds.

          • If police go to one I go to other. If not then I'd go to elementary. High schoolers are stronger faster and smarter, allowing them to fight back and improvise weapons if nessasary, whereas little kids can't. They aren't fast, strong or big. High schoolers are, and a few would probably have knives in backpacks.

            • If I were to ever encounter a school shooter I'd break every limb tbh. Sub-humans like that do not need them in death row.

            • Prevent the elementary one. Not all highschoolers are dumb. There would at least be a handful of people who know what to do. There would be much less casualties that way.

              • I feel the high school kids would be more prepared in a highschool shooting because of their age. Because of age the elementary kids would likely react much worse. So i feel it makes more sense to save the elementary students.

              • .. Sadly none. If you could say you could prevent one ethier way none are preventable. No offense to anyone.

              • It depends on the area. If it's a rougher part of the city, I would prevent the elementary shooting. They would have no idea what to do. My high school had a school shooting, and it was a quick in and out thing since it was gang activity. It wasn't a nice area. Not to mention if it was a serious shooting, some of those kids are probably crazy enough to try to beat the -blam!-ers. Or shoot them, since there's probably a few that carry a gun to school. Otherwise, I would pick the high school since they are more populated. They also have a little more to live for since they understand the world more.

              • High school kids are more capable of looking after themselves. Elementary schoolers not so much

                  It depends on the school and the shooter. In many cases, the high school will have far more students and faculty, meaning more possible victims. However, high schools are better equipped to deal with the issue as the students have almost certainly been prepared with drills and have been far more exposed to news stories of such shootings. Depending on the location there is often a police officer on or around the campus, and teachers trained specifically for these situations. Also, school layouts are important. Many larger schools are broken into wings that can be locked down in times of emergency, where as smaller schools are far more accessible. We also have to consider the shooter. My guess is that someone looking to shoot up a high school is probably going to be focused on a select individual or group of individuals as a result of bullying or emotional dissidence. If the shooter is of a matured age, they're going elementary school looking to cause the most terror possible. I feel as though the elementary school shooter is acting in a more sociopathic manner than the high school shooter who may be acting vindictively. That being considered, those acting on a whim of reactionary aggression are more likely to recognize the fault in their judgment and recoil, where as those acting from a more sociopathic basis don't actually care about faults in their judgment. I think all things considered, if the shooter is of a matured age, the elementary school is the option I would seek. Also, as a comment towards the other replies to this thread, I don't personally believe we can weigh the value of a human life over another based solely on age when none of the age groups considered are fully matured already. I think it's fair to say that a child should be saved over an elderly person, but when the age gap is so small, I would argue this sort of appraisal falls short of being very meaningful.

                  • The one i can save first. At those moments you have to act fast so wasting time to think about where i can save more lives or where it would be easier to solve would be a waste of time

                  • My reasoning was simply because i believe that the highschool kids have a better chance at diffusing the situation themselves than the elementary kids. So should this happen, odds are the high school kids might be able to handle it themselves, while the elementary kids will probably need a hero.
