Should being a coward be a crime

I'm not saying heroic folks aren't out there, but the way people talk you'd think all school shooting footage would show hundreds of townspeople running full-speed into the situation.

I agree with a lot of what people have said here.  My stance needs some modification.

In the case of this individual, no, we cannot prosecute him because there is no case law or specific reference to engaging an active shooter in his contract (I assume).

But I believe that should be mandated going forward.  The job should pay more, should be highly trained and should needs to be filled by individuals more capable than some old low-T obese person.  There should be penalties if they fail to actively save as many children as possible.  While there is no test for bravery, consequences for failure exist in many high risk jobs and this shouldn't be much different.  Seems like the omission of training and lackadaisical hiring have produced a sub optimal product under the current system

Many of you are right.  We should not jail this specific degenerate because of a failed system he exploited for his own good.  

But who cares?  Fixing this would take money and we're just all out.  Sorry kids.
