FSU School Shooting
11 years ago
For those of you that don't know, I live a few hours away from Florida State University, where a gunman ran into the library with a handgun and opened fire. First of all, dude's got no aim so out of at least two clips he only hit 3 people. One is in critical condition, the other is in "good condition" but still hospitalized, and one got grazed.
Alright, seriously people. I know he's not the only person that has that urge and certainly won't be the last, but running into a school library with a handgun is one of the dumbest things you can do. I'm insane enough already, but at least I know I'm not going to go full potato and shoot random people. If you're depressed, hate your life, and hate others' lives too, this still isn't a smart thing to do. Even if you don't care about your life, nor others, there are still people that care about you, you just need to open your eyes and see it and accept it. I don't like calling everyone innocent, but these are people who are also trying to live their lives, and everyone makes mistakes. Don't punish people because of their own or someone else's faults. You have faults too. You also have some good in you, and so do they.
Here's part of an email my university has sent me:
"Dear Campus Community,
The tragic shooting that occurred early this morning at Florida State University serves as a reminder that an active shooter incident can occur anywhere. The safety of our students, faculty and staff is always the University’s top priority and in light of this recent news, we wanted to share our established procedures with the campus community to ensure you remain informed and prepared in the event of an emergency situation of this nature."
So remember people, there are idiots out there, and this can happen anywhere at anytime. Just stay frosty and don't be an idiot (like I would be and try to tackle them u.u). Stay safe out there.

THe big problem is these people just aren't thinking straight in the first place, not sure they would listen to reason if they had sunk that low...and it becomes an even bigger problem when they have access to something dangerous :/ It's a tough one to be sure how to deal with this, mostly no one would know just how low someone has sunk until this kind of thing happens :/
