“I never thought I’d need this,” one student told Fox 29. {mosads}

But parents and guardians of students told the news outlet that while a bulletproof backpack may be extreme, it’s necessary.

“You hear about these school shootings almost weekly, and I can’t believe that’s where we are in our nation today, but that’s the fact,” said one great-grandparent

Fuck... this was 2018. Sure hope those kids never needed those backpacks.

School shootings are the equivalent of hide under a desk for nukes. It's pointless, they're super rare, and a fucking backpack, just like a table, is not going to save someone.

I mean, true. But I'd still take anything if I was a kid again, to defend myself in those horrible situations.

Local conservative afraid of everything, dumps his trauma onto kids. More at eleven.

Was one given a gun?

Has bullying stopped there or is it still a thing?

Those plates don't stop rifle rounds. The school shootings we hear about (actual mass shootings) nearly always involve a rifle. Given that fact, those plates are just useless weights.

Gives me the idea to get a plate....I have a spot for a camelbak on my backpack, I could put in a plate and have yet another reason my backpack is called "wierd".
