That's what I thought when I read it.... fucking engineers are wimpy people.
Wait holy shit doesn't gabe goto VT?
edit: nvm he goes to WVU
You can have your gun stored at the police station but not on campus. They allow students to keep them there because this area has a very large deer hunting following so some students like to have their rifles available when the season opens. There is no ghetto in Blacksburg. There are a couple of trailer parks way off campus but you don't need protection at Tech which is why all the locals are so shocked.

There's always the pretend to be dead way to go too. It really depends for me. If I saw an exit and I was fairly close, I'd probably make a run for it. Otherwise I'd pretend to be dead. I don't think I could ever take on the gunman himself without any type of weapon.
Exactly, you can break the toughest ass guys ever, college students don't stand a chance in a situation like that.
The thing is trying to put yourself in that situation is a moot point. I can't imagine being in a class typing away at notes and tehn have some crazed gunman coming in and firing at people.

Like I said it is a different guy with the same name who made a comment to AP.
They searched his/my name on facebook and got my school email address there.

you have no idea what is going to happen, or if there is more than 1 shooter....it's stupid to speculate what you would do because its easy to think that you would fight the guy from the comfort of your room. i can only imagine what it would be like to see people being killed all around you and having a loaded gun pointed at you.
some bill that allows students to carry handguns on campus wouldn't have prevented this...that sounds like a horrible idea.

In the sense that no one will think like Columbine and be like "Yeah, I'd do better." I'm sorry if you feel it's too early to hear this since it just happened.
Are all the VT tw'ers accounted for? I'm sure it will take you guys awhile to track down all your friends, my best wishes to everyone involved.
Gabe goes to WVU.
link_ and a few others go to VT. Imposter, GMD, antareus, myself, and others are all VT grads.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
like WTF didn't someone try to stop him? etc...
Just high hopes.

patiently awaiting the shooters information and life story. This is when the media frenzy starts, teh drama has just begun.
Maybe they could have constructed some type of rudimentary lathe?
Imagine the carnage if a student shoots the gunmen, then another student shoots THAT student because he thought HE was the gunmen!- Status
