How about canceling class? That works even better than an e-mail. We can play the "what-if" game all day, but if you think that administration took every necessary step then you need to pull your head out. Any time there's a shooting on campus and the suspect is not in cuffs class should be canceled. Period. End of story. Not "oh it's an isolated incident we're ALMOST positive that he fled. Oh snaps there is shooting up a hall, time to send those e-mails out"And just out of curiosity, care to explain how you arrived at the conclusion that 99% of my posts are "re-donk-ulous"?

Thanks for proving my point. If those 2 people died and no one else then still it would have been the right precaution to take.Got it?

Probably the same reason the Wichita horror was largely ignored. Meanwhile Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were busy framing 3 innocent Duke players.

You don't assume anything. You tell people exactly what happened, not ignore it for 2 hours and send out emails when the dude is going apeshit. No one is blaming the officers and detectives, they follow orders. It's the guys in charge who should be questioned about that 2 hour interval.And no Yorke I don't. But if a shooting happened on your campus wouldn't you like to know about it and make the decision yourself whether or not it's safe to attend class if the University does not cancel them?

Because other countries != United States of America.Apples. Oranges.

Why is this so crazy and far-fetched? In my State of New Hampshire I can, by law, carry my concealed handgun with me to anywhere but a courthouse. This is at the state level. At the federal level I can't carry my gun into any federal building or school zone (this does NOT apply to the college level). So I can, by law, go into my university(UNH) and not commit any crime. Of course I can be kicked out of school if I get caught, so obviously I'd never attempt it. I'm NRA trained, have no criminal background, and I'm also military confidential cleared. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying there are q

How is it "very very Hollywood" when there are hundreds if not thousands of cases every year where the criminal has every intent of killing you regardless of what you give him? Maybe it's not as common in the UK or Sweden, but we have plenty of sick ****s here who will do just that. Again it just goes back to that best-case scenario where you happily give away your wallet to the robber and he is later caught by the cops

I think the better question is why didn't all the other reasonable, law-abiding citizens(fully trained of course) in that hall HAVE the right to carry hand guns? Oh that's right, because it would be illegal for them do so. And nuts like Cho will find ways to get them regardless if they pass the background check or not.

OMFG. Totally forgot about X-Men. That game was sick. Okay taking Contra off my list and replacing it with X-Men.

So the base of this argument here is to make criminals feel more safe in robbing us? I don't get it. If a criminal wants to rob me or break into my home to cause harm to myself and my family I believe it is my right as a citizen to do something about it.Ok so the vast majority of criminals just wants to rob you and bail. But what about the few who want to inflict as much pain and agony as possible? Yes it's rare, but it can happen. The vast majority of double homicides don't result in mass murders either, and we've seen what relying on "best case" scenarios can happen. Some of us like to think

1) What makes you believe that by banning guns criminals will start using knives instead? A gun ban will just open up a black market and they'll still be able to get them. Drugs are illegal here, and it's easier for an 18 year old to get cocaine then a 6pack of booze.2) Once he runs of you shoot him dead and get your wallet back.Not to mention, by reducing guns, criminals with illegal guns will feel much more safer robbing law-abiding citizens knowing full well that they are not armed.

For anyone in a place that didn't allow guns (i.e everyone that went to class not knowing there was a shooting earlier)

Not all of us are Christians.

I think those guaranteed As don't apply to a roommate who took out 32 others though....

Regular poor lonely guys jump off bridges or shoot themselves. This poor lonely guy chained door exits so people would be trapped inside, and killed some while having them face the wall execution-style. This ******* was cold-blooded.

I still don't see how some of you think that they took every precaution with this situation. Put yourself in the shoes of those students. If there was a double homicide somewhere on campus, wouldn't you like to know about it? I don't know about you but if there was a double homicide on my campus and the shooter was not caught, being in class like a sitting duck would be the last place I'd want to be. The easiest way to get the message out was to simply cancel class and say why. Why do you think so many of the witness accounts mentioned "we thought it was construction". They sat there for 20 ro

With police patrolling the area looking for him? Not to mention I believe they said only 9k of their 26k students live on campus. So a large portion of those students and also staff should have never been there in the first place.

Right, I'm totally clueless. So clueless that I didn't even hear about this until I read FCP OT a few hours ago. Such a news sheep.I just find it funny when classes get canceled for snow/rainstorms but not when two students get their brains splattered in their dorm and the shooter is still not caught. Where exactly did I say to lock down 4 miles? I wasn't saying they should have came in with tanks and put a sniper on every roof. What I was saying is that EVEN IF they believed for whatever reason that it was an isolated incident, it is much easier and safer to have everyone in the dorms and the

I wouldn't be thrilled in giving up my guns. Not that I'm a huge gun or freedom freak, but I sleep at night knowing I can actually defend myself if I need to. So many believe that if they are ever in a hostage or robbery situation that they can just meet the Villain's demands and be okay. History has shown us that this is not always the case (see the Wichita case and many more).It's not surprising we always see these debates when a tragedy such as the VT one occurs, and it's too easy to fall back on emotions. Showing all of these statistics of other countries whose gun crimes went down after b

Whoever is in charge of security on that campus better resign or get fired immediately. Two kids get gunned down in their dorm yet they still have people roaming campus because classes weren't canceled. Two hours go by with the gunman on the loose and they call SWAT once the shootings begin. Unbelievable. Those sharpshooters should have been there within minutes of the first shooting and we'd have 2 dead instead of 32+. I can hear the hindsight arguments already, but comon guys, this isn't the first campus tragedy and won't be the last. People need to wake up.

Just woke up, satellited last night and didn't unregister lol.

Yeah just one that played in a Pro-style Offense under Charlie Weiss and had a much worse supporting cast than any other QB prospect all the while putting up more PPG against the best defenses. Only reason Quinn's stock fell so much is because of that last game against LSU, and he didn't even get out-played by Jamarcus Russel. LSU just pounded away at that horrible ND defense. I'm not even an ND fan, so I'm actually glad he fell so low and below Jamarcus, cause there's no way we would get him if he was top 3.Peyton Manning didn't "show up" for big games in college and in all the NFL playoffs p
