Okay, if you have not heard about the virgina shooting yet, you need to.
My newpaper says it's the biggest shooting in us history, 32 people were massacred at a tech school. 15 were seriously injured. The attack was done in two parts, two hours away from each other. One was killing two in a dorm, the other in a classroom before the gunman shot himself.
Not only does this say, "Shiiiiiit." it's spooking me. My little imagination machine is working scary little thoughts about how my own school has little to no defense to an attack should it happen. Sure, we have the lockdown drills, but nesscessaryily we don't have anything blocking an attacker except for a few deens, and locked outside doors.
After hearing that attack, I'm going to move all my assigned seats away from teh front door in the classroom, and locate my own little escape route shoudl some random shotgun gets pointed in my direction. Other than that, not much I can do in my own protection. (Go ahead, call me selfish, but once I escape, I live to help others move their asses out of danger.)
I guess I can say that this is a evolutionary adaptation to advoiding danger, and a small insight to what war really is like and how it affects society.
Rowan Says:
It's an extremely distressing to me. I can't even imagine what the students of the school are thinking. They think the two sets of killings are unrelated, but that's a little too coincidental to me. The whole thing just makes me want to cry.
If we're fighting a war like this on the home front, how can we be expected to succeed elsewhere? This is so sick to me.

Our school had an assembly about that today and what to do if something like this should happen at our school. But I don't think you should really worry. I think you're smart enough to come up with something if this were to happen at your school. Apparently they locked the school doors from the outside with chains so the people couldn't get out. Sick people.
