Quote by: Slevin57 Well, uh your missing the fact he killed 30 more people.
I can't help but think he killed 30 intentionally before shooting himself. A picture he included in the package to NBC had exactly thirty bullets in it. |
The original post was the day after... hah.

Quote by: Athena Well, everyone may agree with you, but nobody likes the result. Actually he wrote something that alarmed a teacher and the teacher referred him to counseling. This is kind of like noticing there is smoke in the building, and doing nothing, compared to sharing this information with other professors, in this place that is suppose to have a good sense of community, and involving several people who might check things out. People might have said things to the terribled young man in hopes of getting a good reaction, and if not, alerting others to a serious problem. If people had paid attention the first shooting may have been the last one. |
It is none of the other professors' business. I would expand on this, but I am at a loss for words at the moment. It is not the teacher's job to make sure he's in counselling either. Your smoke in the building analogy is not valid, because I am sure that administrators and police knew. So it would be more like calling the fire department and them not responding. Also, a fire is not out to kill people, that's not it's intention. Fires don't really have intentions. Maybe the people who light them, but not the fire itself. Evacuating the building when a fire is present would be reasonable, but evacuating the building while a shooting rampage is going on, not so smart. If they evacuated during the break, who's to say the gunman wouldn't have started his rampage earlier, where he could get a higher body count, an even bigger massacre than what happened already.
