Re:Be careful what you wish for (Score 1)

we had a somewhat similar situation at my university where there was a student holed up in the physics building with "anthrax" and a knife and immediately after the authorities heard of it they canceled classes by sending out mass emails and posting it on all the doors leaving the dorms. and i knew about it before i read my email or went outside because who really wants to go to class let alone when there is a crazy wondering around with weapons. everyone was talking about it. i think if they had canceled classes the second shooting wouldn't have had as many casualties and the shooter would have been more conspicuous on campus. sure they could have said it was a domestic issue and such, but they should have thought about at least covering their own asses liability wise, you miss a day of class oh well, but atleast then you won't be sued by parents of dead students.
