VA Massacre Proves Government Can't Protect You

my thoughts as well, its why we the people should always be in control

The loudest message sent by what happened at Virginia Tech yesterday is that government cannot and will not protect you.

Contrast the events at VA Tech with the 1966 UT Tower shooting, which was until yesterday the deadliest shooting massacre on a University campus in America.

The shooter was Charles Whitman, a Marine Corps sniper who carried out his killing spree enjoying "a nearly unassailable vantage point from which he could select and dispatch victims," according to Crime Library, armed to the teeth with an arsenal of high powered weaponry.

The Virginia killer was able to dispatch twice as many victims as Whitman despite having apparently little firearms skill, using only two relatively weak handguns and being surrounded by police and other civilians who could have attempted to apprehend him at any point.

The difference? 40 years ago cops were not cowards, they knew their job was to protect the public and they didn't hide behind trees while wearing bullet proof body armor and toting sub-machine guns, cowering in fear at the prospect of facing up to a punk with a pea-shooter.

They didn't wait for two hours as a killer roamed the campus without even warning the students.

The case of the UT Tower shooting when compared to the Virginia massacre illustrates perfectly how American men have been turned into weak yellow bellies who beg and plead for the equally spineless police to protect them in a crisis.

VA Massacre Proves Government Can't Protect You

eg420ne I agree completly they sure cant protect an innocent man or women but they sure can take down a grow house.FUCKING COPS

You guys act like they sit on there asses doing nothing, maybe so. But who is to predict a shooting like this. Not to mention the measures they would have to take to prevent this would be ridiculous, and probably would violate most of our rights, A place like VA shouldn't have metal detectors at doors, its simply shit that happens, some one fucked up lost it, what are we supposed to do about?

We really have no idea what happend there, for all they knew the guy barracaded himself in the building with guns, maybe he had hostages, the police dont just run it, they know worse shit can happen with force, maybe he had bombs he was gonna set off?

Tactic squads never run in a place they are unsure off.

Yeah the cops were outside standing around....but dont let them catch you drawing a picture of a gun

it was 2 hours between the shootings hmmm dont sound like the coppers doing there jobs, again

lol u guys talk these guys sat around itching there asses... im sure they sat around and wondered "hey i wander if that guy in there is killing any one?"

I added to my above post.

The only way the "government" could have "protected" us from this was if there was an armed officer following around every single person in the U.S., ready to step in if something bad was about to happen. If you'd be willing to have someone shadow you, hand on gun, for the rest of your life, I guess you have a beef. If not, then what's your point? (rhetorical question, please don't answer).
;)

no thats why you arm yourself....because its been proven many times that the police cant help you until after the fact

and they told every1 to stay indoors, wtf...sounds like what the did on 911 telling people to stay inside......................hell if you want me to get all conspiracy on you i can, theres alot of misinformtion going on

We should be thankful no police were hurt
