I am strickened with sadness. A couple people that I knew didn't make it. Man yesterday, none of this seemed real. Right now, it's all starting to sink in. School is cancelled for the rest of the week, I'm going home.
You have to realize your thinking is wrong on this one.. If we sound the alarm every time someone gets SHOT DEAD, the alarms will lose their significance.
66, come on man, nothing ir-rational about it. perhaps you have studied effects on victims and such. We always look for a place to apply what we have learned but don't let that get in the way of solving the problem. The problem is that your way of thinking and the colleges way of thinking DID and has failed miserably (see # of dead people).
You either sound the sirens everytime something happens and let the sirens lose their significance, or wait until you're entirely sure you need the sirens before you sound them.
Sounds obvious to me the sirens are worthless. Time for a new plan.
Prejudging and discounting victims is really a very dumb idea no matter what the current police force "texbook pop psych" class states.
I disagree with their views. I think their ridiculous questions are irrational and they are being too demanding in thinking that every school should be prepared for these freak occurences. I also think their criticisms are poorly timed. This is a time to mourn and remember those lost, not to point fingers at those who didn't even pull the trigger.
Even the news said some parents are asking why the school didn't react properly while other parents are defending the school saying there's no way they could've known. I tend to agree with the parents that side with the school saying this was unpredictable.
Do you have some personal problem with me? I don't get how you go out of your way to disagree with me in every thread while several others quote my posts agreeing with me. You don't disagree with those who agree with me, just me.
Let's come back to the point.
#1 No I do not have a personal problem with you at all.
A. The mentality that victims are not to be considered people with a valid opinion and perhaps arguments.
I disagree that we are to throw our hands up and not try to prevent this from happening again. The point someone else agreed with you was on sirens. I could give a #$%^ less about sirens. I am just saying there needs to be a better way to prevent it now that it seems to be becoming an epidemnic.
