Test gunman at school surprises students [Cavalier Daily, University of Virginia]
Fear. The way to keep a populace in submission.
So how would it play out if a student got a hold the fictitious perp and strangled him to death?
Jingbin Wang -does that come with egg roll?

Geeze. Probably not the smartest thing to do only 8 days after the real event.
Unbelievable
Why do they need "counseling"? Nobody got hurt or died. This is kind of like when your brother sneaks up behind you, fills a paper bag with air, and pops it really loud.
I saw a nasty car wreck the other day and there was a fatality. Am I a bad person if I wasn't "traumatized" by it?
If I were still in college, I’d arguably have been spooked enough by the NIU shooting to ignore any extant gun-free zone policy. Judged by twelve, and all that.
So if I or someone like me had shot the pretend mass murderer, would we be charged with a crime? I’m guessing yes, although if I were on the jury of such a person I wouldn’t vote to convict.
insert kitty+WTF?!? picture here.
A fad in the 1970’s, I thought this fake gunman sh!t was banned years ago
The ‘gunman’ was lucky to come out of it alive. It’s sort of like airplane hijackings these days. If you think you are likely to die anyway, you might as well go down fighting.
When I saw this story yesterday on TV, I couldn’t stop laughing! (If I was a student there, though, I definitely wouldn’t be.) It’s so stupid. What the hell were they even trying to accomplish by making this “drill” so realistic? How could they not have informed the teacher and the class? I mean, if the point was to test the emergency response of the campus police or whatever, why do you even need to terrify a classroom full of students? You’re not holding the drill to test how THEY react, are you? “Gee, I wonder if they’ll get scared? Panic, maybe? Get traumatized? Let’s find out!”
Hope whoever is responsible for this gets sacked.
You see this would have been a real problem. Because being slightly suicidal my first instinct probably would have been to pull my knife on the guy assuming I was close enough and hope I could get a jump on him, and I’m not kidding.
If one student had been packing you’d have another dead body and what jury would convict since it was in obvious self defense?
Cowardly Americans brought to you by years of liberals constantly instilling weakness in people through their nanny state minded sycophants in the media and academia.
