gun-free zones = gun-free victim zones.

law enforcement may have dropped the ball on this one (to some extent).
two unusual bomb threats made in the last two days (targeted at the engineering building). and nobody puts 2+2 together.
the new police response doctrine is to rush in and take out the school shooter as soon as possible rather than the old way of securing the scene and calling in a negotiator (this changed after columbine).
so the cops secured the dorm but reportedly lost track of the shooter FOR TWO HOURS ... the shooter then moved on to commit more mayhem today.
i fear this will play out to be a tragic comedy of errors ...

This tragedy is beyond words. This is a sad day for this country that will go down in history.
Dont wanna get into a gun debate, but as stated above since the schools are now 100%gun free zones, im sure even the security guards were unable to help in any way whatsoever,which means MANY victims with no way to defend themselves. If even one teacher was carrying, this would have ended with less lives lost, but I guess we trust noone with guns, and this sicko made the most of it.

If he wanted to kill people so badly, I'm sure the Army would have been more than happy to put this maniac to work.....
The only reason I can see for someone like that to take out so many innocent lives is to become a marter.... nothing else makes sense.
truely a sad, sad day....

it's too soon to tell what's motivated this guy, but nobody's ruling out sudden jihad syndrome.
i'd put my money on a stressed out college kid who just snapped. a girlfriend or ex-girlfriend was mentioned.
