Wow, why did they not go after the student who was firing?
Why didn't they stop this?
Why did they hide from the shooter?

I guess this blows the theory of armed students saving other students...

Parker went on to explain that he was “quite a distance away” from the building where gunman Christopher Harper-Mercer was shooting students.


Not knowing what was going on in the building, Parker said that he could have opened himself and others to becoming “potential targets” of the shooter if they were to attempt to approach the building and intervene.



Parker also noted that the SWAT team on the scene could have easily mistaken him, or anyone else with a drawn weapon, for a shooter — a mistake which likely would have resulted in police shooting him.

Sounds like a good enough reason to me Davik.

Or to suspension for violating campus policy.

If he was afraid of suspension he never would of admitted he had a gun.

The fear that emanates from these Anti-gun-nuts at the mere mention of "GUN" reminds me of the film "2001 A Space Odyssey" and those  pre-human apes,  looking at the Monolith in fear with the IQ of a carrot.

Not being afraid of some nut with a gun would be sign of a mental illness.

No more than being afraid of a gun. Wvit.

IMHO if you fear the inevitable you are wasting life.

You keep saying more guns is the answer, and yet when guns WERE present, all we get is excuse after excuse...

davik,

There are some 300,000,000 private firearms in the US...now exclude gang banger and other drug murders. What is your estimate of Americans killed by firearms attacks of this nature?  BTW...on my way home from work last night...the sign on Interstate 41 noted 435 people died this year in auto accidents.  So do you think more Wisconsin Citizens died in gun violence?

Aaaaaahhhh changing the subject.  good tactic, but won't work here.

Guns were ON campus, which you said would help, but you were WRONG!

Come on admit it, you were WRONG!

davik,

Not changing the subject...just adding food for though. But back to the subject...glad to hear that, just wish one of those students would have been in position to shoot the liberal POS.  BTW...Better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6.
