Still can't believe what happened yesterday at Virginia Tech.  I know this is going to sound strange, but somehow I just don't expect this kind of thing to hapen at a technical school.  Had it been U of F, I think I would be a lot less shocked.  Horrified, but less shocked.  I wonder why that is.

At U of F, I would have expected returned fire.

Why would you say that? Students at UF aren't especially known for being armed. I would expect more armed students in Texas than in FL, and then not even very many. Was this a joke?


As to your first comment, from what I understand, the shooter had two guns, and an ammo vest. They believe he went back to his dorm to reload after the first set of shootings.

Just checked, and Wiki has a timeline (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_massacre#Timeline).

Mostly just taking the piss, although Dave Barry continually credits South Florida (which does not, I know, include Gainesville) with being the "most heavily armed nation on Earth".
