haha thanks Paul
What sucks is that I just came back from grabbing some food, and when some cops saw me, they held their rifles tighter. I don't blame them, but it sucks.
just heard about this as i walked in the door to work--thought of Christian and Dan immediately.
Dan's out of school, so he's in the clear, and good to hear you're alright, Christian.
on a side note, i read something about an Asian guy being the shooter and i thought "Christian??? Nah...."
R.I.P. to those unfortunate, unsuspected souls.
Worst shooting ever. Atleast thats what they are saying on CNN.
But how does someone just run around campus and NOT get caught?
this is ****ing rediculous. I hate it when stuff like this happens.
yeah the email thing 2 hours later is ridiculous..
I don't see how anyone can blame the school for not alerting everyone that there was a shooting on campus. Do you realize how many times schools would get shut down for fear of something like this, if people were "alerted" every time there was a shooting!? There is simply NO WAY to prepare for something like this, short of military occupation. I would personnally get tired of hearing about every little incident. Same reason I don't watch the news. All they seem to like to report is how many people were killed, today. The world is not as bad as people would like to believe it is. It IS a shame though that some whack-job with a gun has the "power" to do something like this. I'll bet that if more people were allowed to carry guns, this would have stopped soon after the first shootings, this morning.
Blaming the school for not doing more would be like blaming our government (president) for being an accomplice in the 9/11 attacks. Oh wait, there are people trying to make a case for that. I'll bet that, somehow, George Bush gets blamed for this. Maybe we should pull all of our students out of colleges because it's such a dangerous place to be. I know college students are all volunteers, but.... >>Rant over.<<
In all seriousness, I feel sorry for all the innocent people who were involved in this, today. In my thoughts and prayers. I'm also glad that our fellow Stangnetters are present and accounted for. I'm glad the SOB is "done".
I see your points man. And I agree that if the law abiding students had a gun, that MF would have been stopped REAL fast. The way the laws are now, the CRIMINAL gets the advantage. Like you said, there wouldn't be 30 + dead if one of them had a gun with them.
As to blaming the school, I think there should be a BETTER way to alert.Loud speakers NOT just "silent" email. I agree with you and 66, we should not focus on bashing the school but we should IMPROVE the warning system because this is now an epidemnic. Trust me, if those kids were one of your kids, you would be looking for a BETTER WAY. Email doesn't cut it.

Not uncommon, for victims or family of victims to be totally irrational. Unfortunately, the same can be said for members of the media.
I've been watching coverage throughout the day starting at 1pm. Funny the media reported, 21 dead, 22 dead, 30 dead, then 33 dead. The first shooting involved the gunman's girlfriend, then it didn't. The information changed SO much thoughout the day from 1pm to now(12:51 AM).
If the media can't get the information right in 12 hours, why do they expect the University officials to get the information perfect and make the perfect decision in 2 hours?
