In July of 2012, Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) produced a “show and tell” video instructing Americans on the best course of action should they suddenly find themselves in an “active shooter” situation.
Entitled Run, Hide, Fight, the Big Sis-approved, 6 minute epic provided potential victims with crucial advice, such as “run away” and “remain out of sight of the shooter.” Naturally, that’s the sort of counsel only government can provide.
Noticeably absent from the DHS tutorial, however, was any discussion of REAL weapons in the hands of prospective victims. Apparently, firearms were not permitted in the “gun free zone” building chosen by the Mayor of Houston for the making of the Department-sponsored film.
But then, to be fair, one 12 gauge pump did play a part in the video. In fact, it was used by the principal character—a muscular, clean-cut fellow who looked all the world like a former Marine D.I. or Republican congressman until he began mowing down unsuspecting fellow actors. Well, the DHS did warn us about those dangerous returning vets and Constitution-loving, right-wing extremists, didn’t it?!
This week, the Napolitano film crew introduced Options for Consideration, the 2013 version of its Run, Hide, Fight fantasy. Once again, potential victims run, hide, and fight UNARMED just as they had in 2012. But this year’s video lacks the one thing that added a sense of reality to the 2012 offering— the shooter! Replacing that fearsome looking, faux-Republican in the 2013 video are views of people scurrying to the exits and crawling under desks. But the feel of “authenticity” is lacking.
See, in last year’s film, the scary conservative with the close-cropped hair calmly pulled his 12 gauge tactical pump from a backpack, fired all six shells, and strolled to the next populated area. Now that’s REALISM! After all, any shooter in a Democrat-imposed “gun free zone” KNOWS he has all the time in the world to reload and pick off more targets as no one in the building will be armed and able to threaten him. In fact, the murderous GOP wanna-be in Janet’s movie didn’t even feel the need to use one of those infamous “assault weapons” with a “30 round magazine”!!
But give Big Sis credit for interjecting a little humor this year. For as the serious-sounding narrator advises anyone “caught out in the open” to “try to overpower the shooter with anything at [their] disposal,” the camera actually pans to a hand removing a pair of scissors from a desk drawer!
That’s right! Just as the school-aged children of Barack Obama and other DC politicians are protected by armed guards and 535 members of Congress enjoy armed security throughout the Capitol building, we the wretched refuse are told that we needn’t worry either. For should the unexpected ever happen, all we have to do is open the nearest drawer!
But you’d better hope like Hell you can crawl in! Because scissors aren’t going to help; and if there’s a gun in there, you’ll undoubtedly be SHOT by first responders who are trained so that no “law abiding” citizen could possibly be armed.
Enjoy the Super Bowl tomorrow.

This woman is a real dumb __tch. You can’t fix stupd.
If it’s stupid to bring a knife to a gun fight, how f*king stupid is it to bring a scissors? If armed people invade your home and you pick up any weapon, you’ll be dead before you can raise it! They don’t care!
Janet is idiotic, arrogant and increddibly foolish to even suggest such a thing…bet she won’t be protecting herself with a scissors!! Why not give our soldiers scissors to go against the guns of other country’s, if they are so damn worthwhile?
She is just a happy lesbian to stupid to make a living in the private sector.
I guess these dunba$$es don’t know that only plastic scissors are allowed in schools!
Tell me how scissors with blunt ends are going to help, esp if the SHOOTER is across the room? I know, we are to use the scissors and cut the bullets in half, that way they will only have half the killing power. Why didn’t we think of that. This ignorant woman has lost her mind, if she ever had one. Un f’ing believable. When oh when are we going to get rid of this whole bunch from the WH down. She should have been fired when she made the statements that returning vets were a danger to society, but that fit right in with King O and Queen M’s agenda. UNAMERICAN TRAITORS
The worst part of this insanity is that there are millions of ignorant, brain-washed Neo-Communist/Liberals who are at this moment nodding sagely and declaring this a practical solution! No doubt they are lavishing praise on Wise Big Sister for coming up with this method of defense.
NO WAY in flaming Hades am I running through a blizzard of high speed lead pellets to attack with scissors!
In the instance of elementary schools, do they even allow metal scissors in the building any more? So I’m braving this wall of lead coming at me with PLASTIC scissors in my hand?
This is stupidity far above and beyond even the most faulty reasoning. This is DELIBERATE MIS-INFORMATION.
Well. Just wait till the new government regs come out regulating sharp objects. Those scissors will be broken into the two pieces, locked in separate vaults and stored in two different buildings. For our own safety, you know?
Liberals – born in the 1950s. STUPID even into the 21st Century.
Sorry but do not blame the 50′s for the garbage that’s going on now. It’s more like the children of the 60′s and their Dr. Spock upbringing.
The 60s Hippies and the Liberal movement sprang from the 50s Beatniks. That was their origin but they went a whole different route than the Maynard G Krebses of the world.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
tHIS PATHETIC MARXIST PIG-STOOGE-BITC*, WHORING FOR THE O’VOMIT CLASS OF
SCUM, NEEDS TO CONFRONT THE SITUATION SHE RECOMMENDS TO
ALL OTHR WOMEN/PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY SECRET SERVICE GUNS SURROUNDING HER.
yOU KNOW ALL THESE STOOGES ARE RUNNING SCARED ALL THE TIME, DUE TO THE FACT THAT, THEY SUSPECT THEY MIGHT GET WHAT THEY ARE DESPARATELY TRYING TO DISH OUT.
iT’S JUST HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY. nO WONDER THEY TRY TO SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH A BATALLION OF ARMED PERSONEL TO KEEP THEIR SORRY A$$ FROM THE DIRT DIVE THEY DESERVE.
You are probably correct, they are scared of the evil doings that they are trying to enforce on us.I also believe it goes much deeper than meets the eye (of understanding)like the ones that control them.
I took the advice of Big Sis. I upgraded to a set of assault scissors with a 4 blade capacity magazine !
YEP, I rigged up a pair of scissors on the end of a pistol, I will shot 6 times then stab them if they are not dead by then. You think she will like that.
viet..Great idea ! Try some of those 16″ hedge trimmer scissors. Go all out, get one of the gas powered jobs. Big Sis will love your idea.
You stupid B**ch, you made all the kids turn it there pointy scissors for round end scissors. What good is a round nosed pair of scissors going to do? Bludgeon him to death? How stupid is this woman and she
gets paid a lot of money for being this damn stupid and idiotic.
You are a disgrace to anyone who wears a skirt, you should be ashamed, you idiot !
Remember what President Reagan said about the worst thing you can hear……
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you” Does she really think people are that stupid? Have they put something in her coffee that would make her that ignorant?
JUST A FEW QUESTION ON SCISSORS?
1. DO I NEED A PERMIT TO CARRY
2. DOES IT COME WITH A HOLSTERE
3. CAN I CARRY 2
PLEASE LET ME KNOW GOING TO WALMART ?
I saw this Ad twice yesterday and I still think the same about it today. There are absolutely no words that could explain this stupidity.
