It appears a little bit of both.

Come to think of it, we've got a couple people like that at school, one girl's parents live near the campus, so whenever something happens that she doesn't like she goes and cries to them, they hold some power higher up in the school so she never has to do anything she doesn't want to do and can screw anyone over that she doesn't like. I've just learned that the best course of action is to ignore and avoid.

Oh yeah, forgot to put this up, LA Police Gear is having a Surefire closeout.
Nothing that I need, but you might want something: http://www.lapolicegear.com/surefire-closeouts.html

Sounds like the brass for the school needs to "get some Brass" if you know what I mean.

I've been making that argument for a while, no-one listens...

They are good lights, no doubt about it. But I have moved away from Cr123 devices. Lot easier (and cheaper) to find aaa or aa batteries and for the way I use flashlights, they are just as good.

No surprise there, money talks louder than ANYONE can shout.

Yeah, No doubt about the Battery cost. Fenix makes some good AA and AAA lights. I've got my G2L, had it for a year and some now. Makes a great hammer in a pinch, still going strong. Only really been through one set of batteries, and I think I left it on in my pocket by accident when they died.

I've got a maratec aaa I've had for going on it's second year and only on the second battery. I also have ITP aa for my 511 man purse.

Hey, I just found a new signature for you: If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?

Haha, that would be a good one, I don't have multiple personalities, the voices just pop up every once in a while. Probably due to to many pickled brain cells!

It's a good question though.
