Wow, you dont bother reading MY single post do you? Illiteracy hits us all sometimes. You're right, this incident can happen anywhere else. So why does this incident deserve special treatment. Nobody bats an eye at the people dying in Africa of AIDs or even at that one forsaken place called Darfur. Nobody bats an eye at the diamond mines they have in Niger. Nobody batted an eye at the school shooting that happened in Quebec a couple months back. But this deserves special treatment. Human sincerity, what a joke. I agree, I will generalize that for 90% of the population. On the contrary , there are people who give a damn and do all they can to help out with AIDS in Africa like Alicia Keys. What about Oprah building a school for disadvantaged kids in Africa? So you think no one knows about the diamond mines although last year Kanye blazed the air waves with Diamonds are forever, and the movie Blood Diamond came out late part of last year. And for the record the Quebec shooting was all over CNN the day it happened. Strangely, I always had an irking feeling that something tragic would happen on a college campus. Given all the protests, the occasional riot, the bomb threats that happened infrequently; all thanks to young men and women struggling to find themselves in a world where beliefs clash. I don't know what this guy's motives were, but the likelihood of it happening (on any college campus where people push the lines of extremism), has always been pretty high. In a situation like this, what do you do? Lock down a college campus like a military base? Set up gate guards and ahve metal detectors? Make people carry clear backpacks and wear uniforms? Cut back on political activism and multiculturalism? What can you do? I had a Glock 22 in college (and in high school), but it certainly wasn't for a killing spree, it was in case karma kicked in or if something incredibly scary happened. Although the chances are not likely, makes me scared to go to school tomorrow. But for the most part people will probalby continue to do things like they normally do. |
