What happened in Blacksburg is horrifying. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire community there as they try to heal. As a teacher on an open campus, the thought that a tragedy of this sort could occur is frightening. We have a plan in place because our campus is so open. While I don't think any of the students at my school are capable of this sort of thing, it's not necessarily them I am worried about. The shootings at Virginia Tech may have repercussions across our country. What price can you put on the safety of our children?
I also thought about my campus. I want it to be open, and to be part of the community.
ReplyDeleteThere is no safety from a maniac like this in an open community, other than to be paranoid about each person you encounter. None of us want to live like that.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine what the EMT's and Paramedics had to go through on that scene. I never worked a shooting that had more than 6 victims alive. Those guys got a real eye-opening training session quickly.
Hope all is good with you S. Keep your head up and watch your back. This kind of shit always happens in 3's.
