I'm a senior at the University at Buffalo and I can't possibly imagine that happening here. UB is about the same size as Virgina Tech and a tragedy like that would be too much to comprehend.
, I wonder how many people who died were seniors, ready to graduate and start their lives. ing horrible! |

Wow, umm...wtf? Why would I make an insensitive comment about this? There is a very big difference between me poking fun at someone, and me making a joke out of something extremely serious and upsetting, such as a mass shooting. Anyone with the smallest amount of morals would not even consider this to be funny.

lol, I don't know why you mentioned me@t, but she wouldn't say something like that. You probably mean me. But you shouldn't judge others by the company they keep. So the insensitive comment will come from me, and it'll be telling you to stop calling people insensitive if you don't know better. |
Thank you. This doesn't seem to know anything about people.
I honestly don't even know how you came up with such drastic conclusions about me. Have I ever said anything offensive to you?
Anyways, enough of that. I was so shocked when I heard the news. It is very tragic, and my heart goes out to all the people affected by it. :( I am reading the articles, and looking at the photos to catch up (because I was at work all day). This is really upsetting. |

Someone ed something up here, theres no way somebody is able to shoot and kill 32 people just like that. Why did they resume classes after the first shooting, only to have another shooting 2hrs later? Stupid cops. How could they let people go back to school without checking the whole campus? And how do you not catch a guy carrying weapons and ammo going from one campus to another?
Somebody made some seriously bad calls today, and people paid for it with their lives. |

| Whoever made the decision to continue with classes after the first two shootings that took place in the dorm room is an idiot, Knowing the killer is on the loose and deciding not cancel classes and declare an emergency WTF!!!! |
