Gates of Vienna: Ringing Down the Days: A Va Tech Student's Failed Plea from August 2006

"A commenter, CW, brings up the first televised --sorry, it was covered by a television photographer, no mini-cams then -- campus shooting, almost forty years ago. How different things were then.

The reaction of students and professors -- which was to begin firing back -- couldn't happen now. We've been disarmed by an emasculated press which is yowling even now for more gun control. They seriously don't get it; they never will either. J school is a brainwash.

CW says:

This incident should be compared to the U. Texas campus tower incident in 1966. That brain cancer-deranged shooter was shot by a combination of police and fellow students [and professors --D] who pulled rifles out of their car trunks and began firing back in self-defense. If there were no armed students on the UTx campus in 1966, the death toll would have been higher as the shooter in the tower had a commanding vantage point of the entire campus.

Exactly. In Vietnam, he was armed."
