Alyssa’s Law: NY to Consider Silent Panic Alarms in School Because of Evil Guns

Panic buttons, eh?

That will get them.

Unless of course the cops respond to the panic button and then stand outside the school for an hour doing nothing. In which case, the cellphones work well enough already.

New York Post:

Albany pols passed a law Saturday requiring school districts statewide to seriously consider installing silent panic alarms to alert law-enforcement authorities during emergencies.

The state Assembly approved “Alyssa’s Law,” named after 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who was shot and killed in 2018 during the Parkland, Florida school massacre.

“Schools should be a safe place for our kids to learn and grow,” said Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie in a statement announcing the bill’s passage.

Alyssa’s Law will force each school district’s safety teams to consider installing panic alarm systems and other direct communication technologies as part of their mandatory regular reviews of safety plans.

The measure had previously passed in the state Senate and now heads to the governor’s desk to be signed into law.

Fabien Levy, a spokesman for Mayor Eric Adams, said the city currently doesn’t believe it needs panic buttons in Big Apple schools but will review the measure.

“Our children’s safety is our top priority, which is why all our public schools have School Safety Agents assigned to them,” Levy said in an email.

Some schools in New York already use panic buttons.

They’re not ever going to talk about what is causing these shootings.

They will not order a study on it.

Instead, they just keep coming up with these silly, nonsensical rules – because they don’t actually care if kids get shot. This is about taking guns away from normal people so the government can become even more brutal.
