Just got confirmation he is still alive and family says he is doing well. Thank goodness.Just found out that one of our students here at Tech was shot twice. I'm not sure of his condition, but my understanding is he is still alive.
It's a sad state that we are in that we even have to think things like this.Makes you wonder if you shouldn't buy bulletproof vests for your family when going to mass public events.
Yep.Guy who did this is a fucking terrorist no matter what other fucking label he has or want to give him.
I've stopped going to as many public events as I used to because of attacks like today's. I've even started making sure that I walk facing traffic and with no headphones in just in case another nut decides to drive a vehicle through a crowd.Makes you wonder if you shouldn't buy bulletproof vests for your family when going to mass public events.
It pisses me off. And, I don't know what the answer is.I've stopped going to as many public events as I used to because of attacks like today's. I've even started making sure that I walk facing traffic and with no headphones in just in case another nut decides to drive a vehicle through a crowd.
Even though I've never been in situations like that, if I had to try to describe it, I'd say it feels like I have a mild case of PTSD.
Just knowing that this could happen anywhere is what sucks. Back in the good old days all you had to do was avoid certain areas of town and you at least felt safe. These days you can't go to school, church, the movies, sporting events, etc. without having to look over your shoulder.
?In one video I saw, you could hear a couple of bursts that sounded like an automatic followed by a lot of single shots. I read he had one automatic with more than one magazine and another nine or ten rifles but it will be awhile before we really know what he was armed with. The crowd panicked and bunched together so even after the automatic was spent, it was probably like ducks in a barrel. He wouldn't even have to be skilled to do a lot of damage.
As an aside, how in the blue hell did this motherfucker get all that firepower through hotel security? It doesn't really matter at this point but these places need to start reviewing their security protocols.
What hotel security? I've never had to go through security to check into a hotel.In one video I saw, you could hear a couple of bursts that sounded like an automatic followed by a lot of single shots.
