yeah, except they are locked inside the building WITH THE SHOOTER. sure, I guess he could have opened fire into crowds milling around outside - but they would then scatter and run like hell in every direction.

The Sudden Jihad Syndrome is patterning out like Louis Beam’s “Leaderless Resistance” (a radical militia leader I think).

Sorry, but I’m a little confused by your comment. I worked for United for 37 years altogether and was working at that time. I know what went on with ours and American’s flights. I’m just saying that, yes, Flt 93 crew and passengers were “heroes,” but we must not fault passengers on the other flights for not fighting back. The circumstances were different.

Yeah, unless he said to line up and you won't get hurt but I wouldn't believe that either. College students on a Monday were probably like lots of us on Monday - lethargic. It happens. A shame.

Steve Doocey’s (FOX Weatherman) son is also suppoesdly going to school there.

From earlier, I thought he was at Temple or Villanova or another PA school. Did he transfer?

Actually Bath was worse

The Bath School disaster was a series of bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, USA, on May 18, 1927, which killed 45 people and injured 58. Most of the victims were children in second to sixth grades attending the Bath Consolidated School. The bombings constituted the deadliest act of mass murder in a school in U.S. history.

Your theory flies in the face of the facts.

The answer is, nobody locks a whole campus down for a murder.

We just had one of these murder-suicides at UW in Seattle. They locked down the building and people in other buildings went about their business. I was on the phone w/a friend when the news came over FNC and I told her. No police or lock down at her building at all.

“Muslim or not, this was a terrorist act.”

You are correct. It was a terrorist act.

the students who commute, they don’t enter the school property to park via a set of specific entrances?

You were just added to the list.

How so -- by noting that no facts have yet been produced to support the "jihadist plot" speculation?

Gosh. If "waiting for facts" is your definition of unreasonable, you live in a very strange world.

So any dissenter is a troll?

Any poster who says the Constitution doesn't work, and who's meaninng needs to be stretched and altered -- the 'Living Document' contingent -- is a liberal.

You, sir, are a liberal.

Just remember the media jumping all over itself when it was found out the DC sniper was a non-caucasian named MOHAMED.
(who apparently had a special relationship with another male)

Asian means any country from Pakistan eastward.

If they REALLY want to get a jump on this and possibly prevent future planned attacks, they should release the perp's face right now...regardless of condition.
