Things happen. People get experiences. They make decisions. We have free will.

My question: “What would you do if a lone gunman was shooting your friends?”

I would jump him when he turned his back. I would hope that a fellow student would also come to my aid.

What would you do?

Thank You

If this killer in 2005 needed to be admitted to a hospital due to his mental problems while still a student, how much follow-up on his case was done on Campus?
If his 5 roommates state he did not converse with them, but only grunted once in a while, should students know to make psychological staff aware of this type behavior? Is it not true, this killer was using his camera phone to attempt to photograph female students under where they were sitting?
In other words, does individual privacy rights eliminate required attention to unusual behavior? What are our duties to protect the general student population from the possible misbehavior of the mentally disturbed?
I support quality mental care for the mentally ill.
I also support legislation which empowers others to request professional mental care evaluations that some individuals fail to receive.

For him we’re all the same To my family I am only one Not me - Not me I am the only son A sound rings out No pain felt I fall to the ground Fates hand dealt Light ahead I follow the source He dies among us Without remorse From high above I watch without fear The ground is damp From all our tears A regular day Under Spring sky Turning deadly so quick No time for goodbye I am one of 33 Steven Labri]]> I am one of 32
He doesn’t know my name
It won’t matter who I am.
For him we’re all the same

To my family
I am only one
Not me – Not me
I am the only son

A sound rings out
No pain felt
I fall to the ground
Fates hand dealt

Light ahead
I follow the source
He dies among us
Without remorse

From high above
I watch without fear
The ground is damp
From all our tears

A regular day
Under Spring sky
Turning deadly so quick
No time for goodbye

I am one of 33

I believe music is a great outlet for expressing difficult emotions and a powerful way of healing the psyche following events of this nature.

Here are a couple of songs of support for those who have lost loved ones in this terrible massacre. Sorry, I’m not the greatest singer, but I hope some people will be touched by the songs themselves:
