Vicky Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 God, this is just horrific. I hope those of you with friends and family at VT are able to get in touch with them soon to know they're ok. Whoever this whack job is was that did the shooting, I hope the cops took him out with a shot somewhere very painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Terrible situation no doubt. A group of kids needed to stop the guy as this situation developed. I know it's easy to say from the cheap seats but go after this guy, knock him down, beat his asz. Sad, just sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I don't know what I'd do if I were ever in that situation. I'd like to think that I'd have the presence of mind to know that I've probably got nothing to lose so I might as well try to take the ba$tard out, but really? Who knows. Panic and fear are crazy things and they do crazy things to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDFFFreak Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 This is a huge tragedy. What is also tragic is that, as a constant reminder, we'll be hearing about this for many months to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're trained in disarming someone I would highly advise against trying anything. And, don't make eye contact, that really seems to agitate them.

twiley Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 You seem to be speaking from some form of experience? Live in New Orleans for awhile or work in a bar there and I guarantee you'll either have it happened or see it. I'm pretty sure Skins has had a few guns pointed in his direction down there as well.
