Va Tech

I am horrified about what happened yesterday morning in Blacksburg, Virginia. Now, for those with your head in the sand and have no idea what i'm talking about I will inform you. Yesterday morning around 7:15 am a shooter shot two girls in dormitory on the Va Tech campus. Instead of cancelling classes like they should've done knowing that they didn't have the shooter in custody, Va Tech administration decided to allow classes to proceed. Oh, but they sent an email out to warn faculty and students right as the second shooting started in Norris Hall on the other side of the 2,600 acre campus. At about 9:25 a South Korean senior opened fire on several classrooms of students. This raises several questions for me. One, as compared to Va Tech a huge school with a full security staff that still handled the situation very poorly how does Lindenwood stack up. The answer is IT DOESN'T. We have the worst security "force" probably of any school in the US. The only real function of the crack security force at Lindenwood is to write tickets out to people who are parked right or who don't have parking passes. Oh and to break up parties. They are in no way trained or equipped to handle any sort of a crisis. And President Evans expects us to believe that RAs and RDs are also security officers. Give me a freaking break. I'm about sick of that BS. Second point, Lindenwood's administration to student communication is even worse than Va Tech's is. No one knows anything at this school. We have to rely on Eric Click to help us out. God forbid they actually spend some money to get information distributed some how. It would have been much worse if if had been Lindenwood. Third and finally, how did a S.Korean student over here on a student visa get two 9mm hand guns with that much ammunition. He shouldn't even be close to a gun. Much less have two. Apparently, according to one story i read he had a receipt for one of the guns in his backpack. This is just ridiculous. No international student should be allowed near a gun. I don't care what the reason is. And they especially not be allowed to buy one from a respected gun carrier. This is a national security issue. We need to do a better job of making sure these psychos don't get guns and start shooting people. Alright that's all i have. I'm really frustrated and hungry so i'm going to go eat.
