This is sad an insane... the address in the article is literally right next to campus. Actually, campus property is on both sides of that address (in between Lee hall and the ball field). Thoughts out to a fallen Lion. Heart's with his family.

Pakistani, you are the only person who is asking for an RPG and a tank. When the criminals no longer have assault weapons, I will feel safe and secure. Too bad this guys didn't have a weapon handy. He might be alive.

Why can't I own a RPG? I don't care that I live in a society where the majority rules. I want what I want. I'm sure James Madison knew what a RPG was. I also want a tank. Nobody should restrict my wants for weapons. Fox Entertainment Network is on my side.

The agenda of the press is to report as many gun-related deaths as possible to further the cause for gun control....in step with hussein.

Notice how the press spins the article to lead us to believe this was another school shooting? Truth be known, the press is more responsible for senseless gun deaths than anything else.

Also my prayers and condolences go out to the family of this young man who was trying to better his future by getting an education.
