The news is lieing to you, my friends and i were listening to a police scanner. They Killed two gun men, one is still on the lose, and they have one in custody. There are actualy 26 deaths (friends mom is apart of the emergency team). Its been crazy. They went and killed a girl at the dorm thats about 100 feet from mine. They then waited for two hours and proceeded across campus and shot up the engingering building. all the police where across campus. Im hoping i personaly dont know any of the victims.. guys say prayers for the familys, they are going to be getting calls that will forever change their lives.


Damn scary.

The pictures just make me sick. It doesn't seem like that long ago...opening up those big wood doors to Norris Hall, sitting in the little classrooms looking out the aging windows, bummed about my Heat & Mass Transfer grades...all the while, confident that I would live to turn in my homework. I think I'll go have a drink or four.

I think that Curtis aka BlackMagic goes to VT for engineering, I hope he is okay.

Really hits me hard seeing as I'm an engineering major as well.

Glad to hear Curtis is okay, but nothing seems like good news coming from there.

a couple weeks ago at long beach state a guy tried robbing some homes and fled into campus, proceeded into the education buildings, sat in a classrooom and busted out a knife. right in the middle of class, my friggin history methods class was two doors down!

yea wtf is happening to america is right. some of the elementary schools over here have lockdowns all the time. its really sad especially since the campusus are full of little kids.

Well, for starters, we have colleges stripping students of their 2nd Amendment right to bear arms for protection.

Yeah, im sure that would help. How about everyone can arm themselves with a firearm. Then it would be so much harder for this to happen, seeing how every psycho would be able to walk right through security with a pistol, and not look suspicious at all. 0 posts, lets keep it that way. *Edit* Ok, i cooled down. Deleted some matter that doesnt need to be read.

I'm gonna have to go with noboost on this one. If an institution is so adamant about keeping firearms off of their premises then they need to enforce their own damn policy to protect the people on site. Some lack luster sign saying "No guns" isn't going to cut it.

I'd place a bet that if there wasn't a no-guns policy OR the school had bothered to ENFORCE it's no-gun policy then the incident wouldn't have been nearly as bad, or an incident at all.

I'm not taking away from the atrocity that this man committed but I personally put some of the blame on V-Tech. *flame-suit-on*

can't disagree. all some stupid ass sign on a door does is keep the honest people from bringing guns in.

Maybe its because I live in a country where most people don't own guns but I just don't see how more guns would help anyone.

Possibly but a violent crime is a violent crime and a truly disturbed person is going to kill whether it be with a baseball bat or a firearm. Yes it's much easier to snuff out a light with a 9MM than a Louisville Slugger but I still stand by what I said. The choice to kill is in the mind and we as a society are going to have to focus on identifying and mending these wayward souls.

With that being said I will continue to fight to protect my right to protect myself. Especially in these trying times.

God bless and stay safe everyone. It's events like this that prove how precious life really is.

I havent read all about this but how did he get to have a sight on so many targets? I hear it was a room where they where taking a test? or did he move to different places?

He shot two people at the dorms, and for some reason it took campus police two hours to report. This gave him enough time to open fire in a different building. Shooting anyone in site. He actually went door to door, trying to find people. Its a campus of 26,000 people, not hard to find 32. I'm suprised he didnt kill more..



About the guns. Sure, they didnt uphold the no firearms policy, but how on earth would it help if everyone had guns? The only thing different, would be more than one person shooting. With good intent, there are still accidents, especially in crowded halls.

Agreed.

Take driving for example. Wouldn't you agree that the vast majority licensed drivers are responsible in some way shape or form? I would. I doubt I'll see anyone up in arms about restricting driving privileges when some whack nut starts mowing people down on a side walk (Remember Vegas 2005?). A 3000 pound piece of metal flying down a side walk or through a park at 40+ mph is just as deadly in the hands of the unstable. Crazy people aside I'm absolutely astounded at the caliber of people eligible for a license in this country.

I understand where you're trying to come from but it's just something I will not agree with you on. People are fucking nuts and they WILL find a way to harm as many people as they can.

it didn't take police 2 hours to respond... get the facts straight. (don't mean to tound mean there).

police responded to the then-considered domestic shooting. During this time the shooter went home, cleaned up, and dressed and prepared to kill with multiple clips and two pistols. he then walked across campus (easily blending in with other students since he was one) and enetred norris hall 2 hours later and chained the doors shut. he then walked down the hallways, shooting, went upstairs shooting, and entered a classroom where he unloaded on the students.

i've had this argument and others on other forums, more guns MAY have saved some lives here, but at the same time if this deeply disturbed individual (with violent history, set dorm on fire, stalked girls, loner, anti-depressants) had been thoroughly checked and denied a firearm, that would've (definitely) saved more lives.

instead we legally put a weapon of mass destruction in this psychos hands.

It didnt take them two hours to respond, But the students should have been notified earlier than this. If there are two people killed on campus, and the shooter is still on the run, you need to CLOSE CLASSES, and send everyone away until this is resolved. I find it rediculous that they didnt shut down the school as soon as they found out there was a shooter on the lose.

And how would you say you would do that on a campus of over 20k people where most of the students were on their way into class at the time.
And if you did manage to get the message out and told people to stay put and not walk out, would that not just create the same scene in a different location?

As for the whole gun argument, I pose the same question, how do you enforce a no gun policy in an open campus. Sure you can put metal detectors in the few dorms, and then what? not like its too hard hide a weapon. The problem is the ease with which anyone can get a weapon, seems like all that is check is your criminal record. "Looks like your are clean! Well here is your gun son, Enjoy!"

Even with a more through gun check process, or gun banning procedures events like these will still be extrememly hard to prevent.

the school has over 100 buildings. its larger then your average neighborhood. when betty whitetrash gets shot next door and billy jo bub runs off, do they quarantine your neighborhood, nobody allowed out of their house?

nope.

eve state officials say that the faculty responded very appropriately to thesituation and circumstances. all this crap about not acting fast enough is media spin bullshit.

commenting on any of this is little more than speculation at best. There are far too many facts that have yet to be determined to make any logical assumptions on the causes or what would have prevented this.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing when the everything returns to status quo and your ass isn't getting shot at anymore. All that can be said about this whole incident now is:


1. The whole situation is fucked up. Thoughts and prayers go to all affected by this

2. Regardless of how school/police may or may not have handled the situation (which much is still unknown) there needs to be a plan for if/when some dick tries this shit again.

3. Students carrying guns on campus will not solve this. Period. I don't care what arguement you may have, its a bad idea.

As said above, if all students were allowed to freely carry on school grounds, some wackjob with a gun wouldn't immediately stand out. Not to mention instead of 1 dude shooting now you got classmates returning fire and that can only lead to collateral damage.

Plus, people will now be so on edge about the slightest movement/loud noise. If you allow them to carry guns, what heappens when you come running in to class late rummaging through your backpack to do something as harmless as turn of your celly, and some kid in your class perceives that sudden burts of movement as you going for a gun??? Bang you're dead.

Far too many college kids,and frankly people of any age in general, are not mature enough to be able to detatch themselves from the situation and make a rational decision on what to do as quickly as it is required in situations like that. Decisions need to be made incredibly quickly without emotional involvement like anger,etc. There is no room for overeacting at a time like that

Hell most college age kids (and many adults)don't react properly and as quickly as they need to for something commonplace like DRIVING, much less in a life or death situation involving a gun. Think of how badly people overeact when cut-off on the highway and go all road-ragey. And this situation would be far more adrenaline producing than a road rage incident. Do you really want someone with a gun and a uncontrollable temper in class next to you? Didn't think so.

The biggest issue in this whole mess imo is how did this wackjob get cleared to own a gun, much less several of them. If that fucker was on meds for being schizo or whatever the hell they are claiming now, there should've been a huge mother fucking flag on his file and that permit should've been denied.

Yes you have a right to bear arms, provided you aren't a felon or are batshiat crazy like this kid was. Someone sowhere dropped the ball on if this guy was sane or not.

Guns don't kill people, it's the crazy fucker with the gun that kills people. Don't let the liberals fool you.

Hill-dog and the rest of the anti-gun people are going to have a fucking field day with this. Sigh.

QFT.

The bottom line is no matter how hard we try to stop things from happening like this, no matter what measures we put in place...some wackjob or psycho is going to slip through the cracks and do something radical. All we can do as citizens is try to encourage a stronger awareness of unusual activity and do our duty to protect one another as Americans.

Just my opinion, not trying to go after anyones thoughts. This one may get locked sooner or later if it gets out of control so I wouldn't push the issue any further

putting guns in the hands of a bunch of college students (esp when their AT college) is a VERY bad idea. someone gets all butthurt or drunk or starts fighting over a g/f of b/f..blam. sure, there are lots of responsible college students, but there are more irrsponsible ones. why do you think most college campuses are dry?

the kid was the killer. not guns, not by fault of the school, end of story.

Yes I'm alright, but so far it's up to 3 friends of mine that have died, and the shooter was from my high-school. I feel that the police had just as much reason to think it was a domestic event as to think it was a some crazy fucker just shooting people. I think that an e-mail should have been sent out immediately telling students to stay indoors, lock-down all the buildings, students in class stay in class, students who are not, go back to your dorms, have security guards at every entrance turning back commuters. They did this for the Morva guy last semester, and he hadn't even killed anyone on campus. After two students are shot in a dorm, there is no reason to go about the day like nothing happened. A police officer shouldn't be thinking that it was *probably* a domestic issue, they need to consider every possibility. Shit they could've asked me if it was domestic I'm friends with the girls boyfriend too. Anyways That's about all I've got to say.



ps. thanks for the new icon

and commending the columbine asses too? fuck...what happened to the good ole days when someone looked up to michael jordan or joe montana? what scares me more is there are more people like this. i just hope theyre smarter than this dipshit

after seeing these videos...why does this reek of terroristic/jihadist video tapes? the way he goes on to try and justify himself, proclaim he and others like him are "martyars" and praising others who have gone before him, denouncing people who have money, blaming his situation on persons who are better off than he. its a textbook outline! not to say it was terror related. its just eerie how similar him and terrorists videos are.

I should hope not. This has nothing to do with race at all and anyone who would look differently upon you for the actions of someone else is a retard and not in a position to judge you.

It's kind of hard to make that assumption though. Look at what happened with the 9/11 attack. A lot of people in this country now have hostility towards the muslim community because of it. There will always be people in this country who feel the same way about this incident and begin to hate or dislike the asian population/community because of it. Thank God I am not one of those people though.

Well, I'm just basing it off what happened after 9/11.

im not on the forums much and today i came on just to look and see if anyone had posted anything and what their opinions on it all were.

Im not too into talking about it much, but what really set me off is the fact that not only has this happened, but there have been 2 recent suicides at the high school i went to.

Both of the students killed themselves i believe with handguns... the first was only a few weeks ago, the other one was today. I didnt know either of the kids but it still really makes me upset. Just as the virginia tech incident has. Before all of this i didnt have an opinion about gun laws, now when i try to create one, i still cant. In the virginia tech incident perhaps they may have helped. But in the incidents in my local city of Mentor, it seems making them harder to reach would have been better.

im really confused.

I'm willing to be that a large part of the success in aprehending the gunman in the story linked was because one of the students who went to get his gun was a POLICE OFFICER, trained to deal with those exact type of situations, not little Timmy from down the street. Not to mention, Goss even secured the gun from the other student once the suspect had been aprehended and all was done.

Your average college kid simply does not have the experience or training to handle this unfortunate kind of situation and would probably just start shooting.

It's easy to get a handgun, all you really need is to be 21 and not be a felon or otherwise a danger to the community at large. What is not easy is knowing how to properly handle said firearm when the time comes.

I should hope not. This has nothing to do with race at all and anyone who would look differently upon you for the actions of someone else is a retard and not in a position to judge you.

Curtis-- glad you're okay bro. Deeply sorry that you've had to be affected even moreso than the VT community at large because of the loss of your friends.
