Purdue was also going to continue normal operations after the arrest had been made, but after students got pissed about the insensitivity of all that, they cancelled classes for today.

This just highlights to me how no one is safe anywhere. It's pretty sad.
Yeah, I thought of you when I heard about this. I didn't realize you had a sibling who was still there. Crazy stuff.

I saw this article posted somewhere last September. It's probably worth posing in this thread, also...

Mass Shootings Fuel Fear, Account for Fraction of Murders - Bloomberg

Alright can we agree to not turn yet another mass shooting story into some twenty-seven page diatribe between pro-gun/anti-gun people? Cause once we're down that rabbit hole this thread is going to get completely jacked.

the last post before yours was two days ago. Why even bother saying that?

You are so late and the thread didn't even go that far down that route.

I'm not really hostile just asking out of curiosity because it just seems like something that didn't need to be said. The thread discussion was pretty much over and we didn't go that far into have the whole pro-gun/anti-gun discussion.

I just got this thread pointed out to me an hour ago. I honestly didn't know it even existed before let alone that it was dead.

Don't worry it wasn't even a mass shooting.
