HAY GUYS

There was a shooting at the University of Arizona nursing college where a few people were killed and several injured when I was teaching in the neighboring building and we heard he was out on the loose while I was in the middle of teaching.

I remember how absolutely terrifying that was, but I sure am glad I was able to find out about it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just so you guys know, it has been verified that Facebook guy isn't the shooter. He made a post today about how many hits his page got (and how great his AdSense revenue will be this month) before taking down the post (breaking AdSense rules and all).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't ~~find an Asian to~~ shoot the messenger!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If it is anything other than "we are completely fucking incompetent" then I don't give a crap what they have to say.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd go as high as 50/50 though.

If 50/50 involvement in the murders of 32 people doesn't say "fucking incompetent" to you, you've got some pretty low standards.

I was speaking idiomatically.

His teachers didn't ignore it, he was referred to campus counseling and refused to take part.

That writing is not a cry for help. That is way past the cry for help stage.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's the play. Along with the imagery, he's not a very good writer. Probably shouldn't have been a creative writing major in the first place. :P

FELIPE NO

They had already reached her current boyfriend, he was the "person of interest".

Why is that a huge failure? If there was more than one shooter, and he just killed dozens of people, wouldn't you want to protect as many people as you can?

If he was that creepy a guy (which they should've figured from the outset if he didn't talk in class, stalked women, etc.) they should've pegged him a whole lot sooner.

They did peg him. He was referred to counseling. If he didn't break any laws, there's not much more you can do.

In my mind, if there's a shooting at a school...be it a high-prestige, Division 1-A college or a urban high school, you do the same thing: put a halt to classes, lock down the crime scene, and let everyone know ASAP what happened.

If the first shooting was a crime of passion, and 99.99% of the time, two people dead in a dorm room with no other killing at all would indicate that, then why do all that? There is no immediate danger to anyone else in a rime like that.

There isn't a single legitimate reason to think that from the first crime scene, the second would emerge 2 hours later.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
