“In, say, the year 1950, only firefighters seemed wise enough to have fire extinguishers in their homes. If you went to the family physician and asked him to teach you closed chest cardiac massage, as cardiopulmonary resuscitation was called then, he would have looked at you as if you were nuts and told you to go to medical school if you wanted to learn that stuff. And if you had asked your local police chief about deadly force against criminals, he might have told you to go to the police academy and become a cop, because that was their province. Today, things have changed.”

“I read somewhere there’s a list of things that you do, and one of them is that you attack the attacker. He can’t shoot everybody. Everybody’s afraid to do anything, so everybody gets shot.”

“The problem is that we have been encouraged to be victims rather than to defend ourselves. “We’ve moved towards an idea where the government does everything. It’s a police-state mentality, that’s all it is. It’s very dangerous.” He said we are heading down a slippery slope. Most of his teachers share his philosophy or they leave. If there is an active-killer incident at the school where the gunman is shot and killed, the media ask Thweatt: “What about those children who saw someone gunned down? You’re going to traumatize them for life?” He replies: “They’re going to be less traumatized than being gunned down themselves.”
