What kind of a messed up world do we live in where products like these
are even conceptualised let alone produced. MJ Safety Solutions have
developed a full size, lightweight ballistic protection back pack to be
used as a shield against guns and knife violence in schools.
In American schools, since 1999 an incredible 328 shooting incidents have occurred, leaving 229 dead
and 422 injured. So fucked up. That is an average of about 1
per week since the Columbine Tragedy. Mj Safety Solutions claim that in 97% of the documented cases this backpack could have saved lives.
Aswell as being a particuarly useful in times being shot at while running away from a crazed gunman, the
backapcks are actually quite practical school bags with padded
compartments for books and laptops, a pocket for your mp3 player with
an earphone outlet and mobile phone pocket. The bagss are availble
through MJ Safety Solutions store
here and can be yours for US$175 each.
What's next ballistic protection in school uniforms? It's a scary world out there.
