    There's no point in arguing with people like bibinewyork. Unlike the president of the college who most likely lost people he knew, or campus security, or even the students, she knows best what should have been done. She made her mind up 30 seconds after the shooting that someone was at fault. Since the shooter was dead, these type of people must blame someone else.

    In the world of bibinewyork, people make mistakes out of willfull incompetence and deserve to be punished. Anyone who tries to understand the situation is just as guilty.

    So why bother talking to people like that. They are perfect, without sin and in every situation, they act correctly and have nothing but scorn for those who don't.

    I don't think it's the school's fault.

I'm just saying
