The students who were barricading the classroom doors and lying the ground to help brace it as the killer was shooting through the door, were doing some pretty good thinking under the most stressful conditions imaginable.
I don't think we should be dissing the victims.
I would never “diss” victims.
It’s a thought I had, and have had many times - our society seems to push the “don’t resist” mentality thinking it will help the situation. I think the fighting back mentality works better so it’s what I teach my children and it’s what I was taught. Again, I wasn’t there and I’m not dissing victims by any stretch of the imagination. This is one of the reasons I think gun control is ludicrous.
I agree with you, the students lying on the ground barricading the door to help brace it were honorable. I wasn’t dissing victims. I’m not dissing anyone, even those who don’t respond in fight mode. All I’m saying is we continue to teach, or so it seems, the “don’t fight back” philosophy and I have a problem with that philosophy. I don’t think it works. I’d rather fight back or have victims fight back. I sure as heck wouldn’t trust someone holding a gun on me to do the right thing.
Absolutely, dissing a victim is as low as it can go.
These college students who were harmed or lost their lives deserve to go straight to heaven. They are the ones who let us know how precious life really is , they should be honored as the most precious assets that any country could ever have.
Every student who has been harmed should be honored, their families should be treated with the greatest respect. Only satan could benefit from this type of occurrence.

Personally, I'd be attempting to press my fingers through the retinas of the shooter... but that's just my opinion. I don't get the impression that Twink meant any disrespect to those involved, and her sentiment is in line with the NRA's Refuse to be a Victim courses. Just my .02 ...
