Well, Mr. center-of-the-universe, I got better things to do than look for something on the web without even knowing a title.
What I would have done is irrelevant. I don't get paid to stop killers. None got stopped at Virginia tech. I actually did something useful for my paychecks, as expected.
So much heat and so little light. If you would simply allow others to have an opinion, right or wrong, you could go forward impressing those who give a rat's elbow what you think.
My permanent impression of the Virginia Tech massacre is clowns hanging around; or hauling the bodies out after the shooting stopped.
In the subject ot this thread, the impressive statement is a lone woman ran towards the shots.
I simply don't remember a single similar statement made about Virginia Tech.
Hence my original opinion. End of story.
Have a nice day.
“Well, Mr. center-of-the-universe,”
When you’re wrong and have no defense, start call people names.
“I don’t get paid to stop killers. None got stopped at Virginia tech. I actually did something useful for my paychecks, as expected.”
Ah, so you must get paid to criticize people for the job they do, even though you know absolutely nothing at all about it. I’m still waiting to hear exactly how you would have done this better. Crickets chirping.
“If you would simply allow others to have an opinion, right or wrong, you could go forward impressing those who give a rat’s elbow what you think.”
No problem with having an opinion, but when it is so absolutely wrong and it libels brave first responders who did the best they could, you need to be called on it. When’s the last time you rushed into a situation where your life was in danger. Never? I didn’t think so.
“My permanent impression of the Virginia Tech massacre is clowns hanging around; or hauling the bodies out after the shooting stopped.”
So your impression goes against all the evidence. Sounds a lot like a liberal. Going strictly on impressions and feelings. First responders saved several lives by getting them out quickly even when they thought there was still another shooter on the loose. They formed a diamond and carried folks out. Read the report. I’m sure you’ve done so now, since you were so interested in the link.
“In the subject ot this thread, the impressive statement is a lone woman ran towards the shots. I simply don’t remember a single similar statement made about Virginia Tech.”
You don’t “remember”? Gosh, that proves it. Please bother to read the report. /s
Several people who died tried to rush him, a professor who died blocking the door while all of his students got out except one, another professor who died came down from the third floor instead of staying in his office (after he locked in students), a corps of cadets student who rushed the killer, other students who blocked doors.
It’s obvious from this post that you don’t care in the least what the truth is. You want to believe what you want to believe. The plain fact is that the first police on scene went in absolutely as quickly as they could. I don’t see where you — or anybody else — can refute this.
You might also consider — although you probably won’t since you seem to have made up your mind no matter what the evidence — that while parents of the victims have been publicly upset about the way the mental health system failed to function properly and that students weren’t notified earlier after the first murders (the report is highly critical of those elements), I have yet to see any complain about the response at Norris Hall. And that’s because the response at Norris Hall was textbook.
If you have evidence to the contrary, please interrupt the chirping crickets.
