jesus, i wonder if this years fall fashion is going to include kevlar vests and assault rifles. The worst i have to deal with down here are crazy religious fanatics yelling at me as i go to class that im going to hell for attending college.

Thats a pretty crazy fucking mad gunman...

Definately shitty.  I've never fully understood the necessity of taking out one's frustrations and hatred and angers or whatever on the totally unrelated and unsuspecting.

I suppose the real question is, though, was he on mushrooms at the time? :rolleyes:

What the fuck?

Why?

How can someone point a gun at another human and pull the trigger? 30+ times! How does a child grow to be so twisted? I don't understand this stuff. Its terrible. I hope this will be an isolated incident. Last time there was a school shooting, it seemed a few more followed.

I hope the students and faculty can find it in them to overcome this. My best wishes for anyone affected.

"Another story from Tech:

A Campus Crusade member we are in contact with there says he was in a classroom and the man came in. He said he shot the professor 4 times, shot a girl in the neck, then shot a girl in the eye. He then stepped outside the room to reload. When he did that, the guy we know and 20 others ran away. They got away unharmed. Some of the students, however, chose to stay in the room and play dead. Apparently he went back in the room and shot every person on the floor.

Again, this is a story I heard through a friend who has a contact in Crusade at Tech."


Also, Fox News needs to stop some of their bullshit.

it was originally thought to be an argument with his girlfriend gone wrong.. no reason to think he'd come back for more- plus police said they had someone in custody. originally it was just two people shot- one killed and one injured. then about 3 hours later the other shootings happened.

in my case i feel that was the point: to totally destroy & kill everythng alive and well in his way, leave no trace of life behind. i guess i can relate to that, i've been feeling like that for years. i'm not condoning it, i'm just saying that i'm not surprised and i'm fascinated by school shootings.

I think every day there is more evil in the world. No human being can just shoot 60 unarmed and innocent people. It might sound simplistic but some people are just evil. Their minds just get totally warped and destructive.

It's unbelievably fucked up.

Thank you!! Sure, I can accept the fact that there are people that can't help it because of an extreme chemical imbalance or whatever but some people really truly believe that the answer to their problems is killing as many as people as possible. There's probably just as many that kill just to kill, because they like it.

Well, the shooter was/is NOT a human being. He obviously lacks human qualities. Maybe that was his point. ^^ With this many people dead, you'd think people would throw wordings to the wind for half a second.

I was just pointing out that it seems to me to be incredibly naive to say that "No human could have done this."

Are you kidding?

Thats idiotic.

Individual people have killed far more people than this nutcase did. The fact that he killed alot of people doesnt make him "not human".

It simply makes him a murderer. Stop trying to blame it on some abstract cause, like "evil" or "wrongness"

:handth:

Exactly.  Saying someone is evil automatically brings religion into the picture and that's horseshit.  Even using the word "is" is bullshit too.  :laugh:

This person may have done an act you don't agree with, but obviously there is a reason for what he did.  Hopefully we'll find that out.  I feel sorry for everyone involved but I won't let affect my life.

This are all assumptions, but the guy ate, breathed, probably fucked every now and then, or at least produced some little white water swimmers, drank at least water, and had a heart, brain, liver, etc. Sounds like he had all the human qualities required to be human.

I've already had 3 similiar experiences. One of them being my parents, said the exact same thing.

What's really is crazy is Bush says they dont need to re-evaluate school security, but instead tighten up what they already have. WTF? True, they dont need to re-evaluate security policy, they are already fucking us enough. Tighten up? There is absolutely nothing no person can do to stop someone like this. Yea, the current security measures may make it harder for normal people to do some crazy shit, but nothing will stop a person who has it in their head that there gonna kill a bunch of people, then kill themselves. They could put metal detectors in front of every classroom door, and every dorm door, and it's still not even close enough to stop someone that fuckin sick.

Now that this is happening so often, and getting worse, unfortunately, it seems that there will always be that one that happened again. It's inevitable in todays society. Sad truth, but it will happen again, no matter what the fuck the government comes up with to restrict our rights furthur.

I hope that everyone who cant contact their friends will find that their friends are ok. If you find out the person is ok, update your post to reflect so.

This is a horrible tragedy. My question is did not one person in that whole fucking building try to stand up for themselves and come up on this motherfucker from behind with a heavy object? Why did they not band together and try to stop him before so many were killed?? I haven't read any reports about anybody trying to do something about it, just reports about people cowering under their desks in fear sending text messages to mommy.

What would you do if someone suddenly burst into your room and started shooting at you?

I can guran-fucking-tee your first thoughts won't be to try to sneak up behind him. Self preservation always wins out, especially when it happens in seconds.

Except I get the impression that only two killings happened in the dorm. The rest were in the Engi building, I get the impression a lecture hall. I also read something, can't find the link anymore, that he like stepped outside for a second, probably to reload, and a group of people got up and ran through a different exit, and other people stayed and tried to play dead and shit, but that failed. It's hard to say what I would actually do, but if all I see are handguns and one shooter, and he leaves for a second, I'm leaving.

This is a horrible tragedy. My question is did not one person in that whole fucking building try to stand up for themselves and come up on this motherfucker from behind with a heavy object? Why did they not band together and try to stop him before so many were killed?? I haven't read any reports about anybody trying to do something about it, just reports about people cowering under their desks in fear sending text messages to mommy.




What would you do if someone suddenly burst into your room and started shooting at you?

I can guran-fucking-tee your first thoughts won't be to try to sneak up behind him. Self preservation always wins out, especially when it happens in seconds.




I can guaran-fucking-tee I wouldn't be hiding under a desk text messaging my mother. But then again I was brought up to defend myself at any cost. :shrug: However yes you are right it's very hard to say exactly what you'd do in that situation. The cowardice just sickens me when the situation at hand was kill or be killed.

Yes sneaking up behind him is a bit unrealistic but you're telling me a group of 5 - 10 unarmed men (and there was a hell of a lot more people than that in that building capable of doing something) couldn't have overpowered one armed man with two hand guns?

you dont have to be a hippy to have empathy.


but how the media just gobbles this shit up;
Click to see video footage of kids getting shot
Click to see video of the parents mourning
Click to see video of police shooting at suspect

Quote:


Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child,
Watches him die

...

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

but then you'd need 5-10 guys to agree with you on the spot.  immediately.  no hesitation.  All of them knowing that at least 2 or 3 of them will be shot and possibly killed before you even reach the guy in this bumrush.  It's easy to say that's what should be done, but to do it on the fly in the face of an armed gunman is another thing entirely. 

In all honesty, unless i had a bat in my hand, and a clear angle on the guy from behind, i'm sure i'd be running and ducking for cover as well.  I don't want to die.  Especially not in some futile attempt to rush in headlong and attack a fucking armed gunman.  That's not bravery.  That's stupidity.

A few moments on a paintball field will change some strategy. Nothing near real guns, but it definitely gets rid of the rambo attitude.

Well lets see, 2 9mm handguns. Mag. size would probably be somewhere between 12-16 depending on the gun, We know he had multiple clips and ammunition. I think with any bit of marksmanship and modern semi-auto technology you could easily take down a group of 10 unarmed men trying to rush you.

Not to mention most ammunition at close range will over-penetrate. Happens all the time, its a swat teams nightmare.

I'd take the pistols to that fight anyday.
