> if there was a school shooter inside a school, should the school be bombed?

If there were multiple school shooters inside one school, and they were coördinating with other shooters across the country, that becomes a valid trade off. (In a classic solo shooter scenario, everyone you want to save is inside the building. There is no external context.) In the same way that a hijacked plane, post 9/11, is a valid target for being shot down.




Oh, I thought they're used as human shields.

How many school shooters would need to be in a Florida High School before you think it's worthwhile to bomb it? Just a rough number
