26,000 days is nearly the average lifetime. If the school took the day off it would be the equivalent of killing somebody.
But why can't you just inform students?
Well a number of people have suggested that they could have taken Shooter out had they the opportunity. The reality is the best thing was for people to stay in their dorm rooms while Shooter was in the building.
With all due respect to the victims and their loved ones, Mrs. America is rather prissy when it comes to "homeland" security. This was not a major event. This was a rather orthodox shooting by someone who was more than capable. Had he the desire and the opportunity to see his full potential, I am sure he could have achieved greatness on a much broader scale. Let us not forget how to ask the question "where do you keep the hand grenades?" like a freakin foreigner.
