11. Professor Liviu Librescu - this was one dedicated educator. he was 76 years old and still teaching. they said he kept the door shut against the gunman using his body. he not only gave his life teaching, he gave his life to try and save others. rip to all of the victims

[/quote]he's a real hero for holding the door shut so his students could escape
Even if you don't believe in Heaven you have to hope that Professor Librescu is being rewarded somehow wherever he is.
People like him can't just be dead and gone on equal par to people like the scumbag who killed him. It seems irrational but I refuse to believe it.
This is just so agonizing to watch unfold, but I can't stop watching the news.
I was really nervous in class today. I know it sounds kinda silly, but I sat near the window, and kept my eye on the hallway the whole time.

I teach college, Peaches, and I feel the same way.
I'm terrified of my students.
What if someone deserves to fail? Should I not fail them because they will pick up a gun and blast me and their fellow students?
I wish I were an author (just not Salman Rushdie).
I've spoken to my mum six times today.
She keeps e-mailing me too, testing to see if I'm checking it enough to catch a potential warning message.
Everyone's going to be on edge for quite a while..hopefully it will inspire some new safety precautions on campuses around the country.
Don't some schools send out emergency messages as text messages to people's cell phones?
I know some people don't have texting on their phones, but if every school did that I'm pretty sure the message would get around...

I feel the same way about working at the court house. We had a girl barge into the court room the other day from a side door that was suppose to be locked. She ran in during a jury trial and announced her presence there as a witness. I think that she was drunk. :lol: Any way, it was pretty scary at first when the door was being slung open.
nancy grace (fuckin bitch) says that the letter in his dorm room was signed Ishmael and said that Ishmael stands for exile, outcast or orphan.

If something were happening on my campus, I would probably wouldn't know...especially if it were in the morning.

You just never know. It makes me so angry that people just doing their job and trying to better society get taken down like this. Teachers shouldn't be afraid to teach or grade fairly, and students shouldn't be afraid to go to class.
I wish bad things didn't happen.

I got a question to the other Asian Dudes out there,You guys getting backlash? I feel really weird when we had to watch the news in my class and everybody was starring at me as soon as they mention his ethnicity.

I still think this guy has issues even though he was cleared of any wrong doing. Who needs that many weapons?
If this guy ever snaps the police are in for a serious firefight.
this shmuck got famous overnight

I remember on 9/11, the arab kids at my school had to leave in the middle of the school day because they were being harassed. :-(
People are so stupid.

Next time you catch someone looking at you sideways just give them the psycho stare of death and let your eye twitch a bit and I guarantee they wont look again.

Okay. Maybe you did, but can you say that the profiling (and fear) was as prevalent as it was post 9/11?
Today during the ceremony, it seemed that every Asian guy in the bldg. got a nice, fat camera shot.

Yeah, I didn't really appreciate enduring 'random' backpack searches and being forced to join a drug and family issues discussion group after Columbine.
Gee,thanks girls! Well,hopefully people will look down on the individual and not on his people. I hope he Rots in piss.
You are correct, sir. Pride = MLKThat would be "Pride" (In The Name Of Love)
Sunday Bloody Sunday = Ireland
..and I call myself a hardcore U2 fan. :-(
