Some things in life you never think you will experience. Some because you don't want to, some because you can't. But there are some situations that you are forced into. Most of the time, they aren't that exciting. On monday of this week, some brain-dead moron who thinks he can follow in the foot steps of the most criminally insane this world has to offer... and gain notoriety from it... decided that he would issue a written threat (in the form of graffiti on the bathroom wall... how cliche) against the NIU community that he or she would 'shoot up the school.'
...Nothing happened. Our campus went into lock down and many people had their day crapped on by some narcassistic
sycophant delinquent with a weak ego. The only thing that came of this... media attention.
They're like fruit flies, defying the laws of physics with their spontaneous generation at the source of the problem.
I once heard a comedian say, "There are too many stupid people in the world, and not enough people to eat them."
