My thought exactly. *IF* it happened as people are speculating, I'd have clued in by victim 2 or 3 and at least met my end on my feet.
An Engineering Hall will be populated mostly by male students (at least, while I was an Engineering student, they all were). We're not talking about a bunch of scared 14-15 year old kids hiding underneath library tables. We're talking 18-22 year old (mostly) males. Military age people here.
So....I'm inclined to think that there *must* be multiple shooters here at work, if for no other reason than to provide cover for each other.
If not, and it WAS just a single shooter, as people are speculating, what a society of sheep the MSM has created. Disarmed the campus, and conditioned its residents not to fight back. Or so it seems.
I don’t what to question how these kids acted ... I have never been in a situation, obviously, like that and pray I nor any of my family ever will. One thought does stick in my mind ... at Texas A&M, we also have a very active Corps of Cadets on campus, and every engineering class I ever was in had it’s share of Corps members in it. I would assume that Virginia Tech would as well. I just wonder if any of there guys were around in all of this ... maybe they weren’t or maybe they were powerless to do anything ... its just something running through my mind. That’s probably very unfair ... but the thought is there.
I think it's really difficult to know what you would do under these circumstances. But I have always wondered why a group of people never decide to charge the shooter. He can't kill everyone at once.
But you would have to acknowledge that a few will get hurt for the others to be successful. Hard, I think.
