Re: Gunfight at the DC Corral.....
As all stated, it's a terribly sad day in Blacksburg, VA. However, some are permitted to carry guns, they are called campus/city police. Although I know they could not have kept all of today's events from transpiring, they could have used there guns rather than hiding behind trees while the shooter was in the building killing people.
I cannot sit here and say my actions would have been different had I been there in a John Q. Public role. I sure as he77 can tell you one thing though, had I accepted the responsibility of protecting students and became an officer, I would have actively searched this basta&% out and killed him or I would have died trying. I would not have been hiding from him/her.
Ya ya ya, I know, it's not the fault of campus police...agreed. However, if they have not committed themselves to the job they have chosen and are being paid to do, they need to get the he77 out and let someone a bit more serious about protecting the public do it. Just my .02
