Backback body armor

You know, you turn on the news and you just never know what you are gonna get.

My local is showing this, made and sold in my state, says they start out at around 100.00. How stressed much kids and teachers and parents feel....never mind about having to learn anything.

Around here they started selling bullet-proof vests and packs for children a few years ago. The sales were usually advertised on commercial breaks during our local TV news programming. Saddest part is...the stores couldn't keep enough of them in-stock and they were always being sold out.

These were advertised a few years ago. I'm sure they are ramping up the ads because it is back to school time.

Before I purchased one, I would do the research to see just how effective they are or was it a product that was marketed for quick sale because of fear. JMHO

These companies are preying upon innocent people.

It’s disgusting to have them take advantage of the Public

trying to do the right thing...but are fed mis-truths at $100-400 lighter.

These websites/companies are have the same MO.

They scatter well-placed words & pictures w/in the ads..

which makes it very clear what their underlying intent is.

Spoiler: it’s not about keeping you ‘safe’.

People believing they need these items are probably not the

most intelligent people in the pack so it’s easy to manipulate

their needs.

Do these companies have no morals? Obviously

Are they shrewd? Yes

Greedy? Definitely
