UNBELIEVABLE!
Two students were shot and wounded, one seriously, at Delaware State University early Friday, and the campus was locked down as police searched for a gunman, officials said.
I just don't get it.
Campus policy clearly states:
WEAPONS/FIREARMS/EXPLOSIVES
The use, possession and/or storage of firearms, ammunition, explosives, fireworks or other lethal weapons of any kind in motor vehicles, buildings or elsewhere on University Premises or during University Activities are prohibited. Students who violate this policy will be referred to the Judicial System. The penalty for possession of weapons is expulsion.
It's especially perplexing, because their "Zero Tolerance Policy applies to... Weapons/Firearms/Explosives (possession or use)."
At least their residence halls are still safe:
Because of the threat of violence in our society, we are very concerned about weapons in our residence halls. Therefore, we prohibit the possession of weapons or those items that a casual observer might perceive to be a weapon (e.g., toy guns, stun guns etc.). Persons found to be in possession of such items or weapons may be charged with a violation of the Code of Student Conduct.
I just can't figure out what went wrong.
Perhaps Campus Security's "three-tiered system" and S.E.C.U.R.E. Program could use some fine tuning?
Personally, I think the DSU Escort Service wasn't employed. I mean, what animal with a gun would want to be confronted by "cadets...identified by their blue Public Safety shirt or jacket [and] equipped with two-way radios, and flashlights for quick dispatch and prompt safe service"?
Hold on--I think I may have pinpointed the problem: The escort's jacket is orange!

Ohhh, my achin' head! These dipsticks just won't get it, will they?
ReplyDelete"We cannot assume that he's not on campus," Holmes said. "As long as he's at large, we cannot assure the security of anyone on campus."
ReplyDeleteWhat's that you say, Holmes? You cannot assure the security of anyone on campus? Why's that, Homey? You CAN'T ASSURE THE SECURITY OF ANYONE ON CAMPUS ANYWAY. And you made damn sure that they can't assure their own safety, either.
I hope the wounded guys recover. Then, I hope they sue the s**t out of the folks responsible for making sure that they couldn't protect themselves.
The inmates are clearly in charge of the asylum...
Anon, do you expect us to believe that Holmes-boy doesn't believe his own line of sh**?
ReplyDeleteI mean, their own websites promise:
Delaware State University’s Office of Public Safety provides for the safety of its students, faculty, and staff.
The Delaware State University Department of Public Safety is dedicated to the safety and security of the campus community it serves.
I take it they just forgot to put in an asterisk with the fine print footnote: "Results not typical. Your actual mileage may vary"...?
Oh well, things are as they should be at DSU: the victim who can talk won't, conditioned students are holed up in their pens afraid to leave the cellblock and everybody's looking forward to a homecoming performance by rappers.
Yep, sounds like a "gun problem" to me.
Did I see this posted here before?

Maybe if they had bigger signs?
Interesting audio clip from the head of the Delaware State Education Association in regards to allowing teachers to carry in a classroom setting.

You need to work a whole damn lot harder lady.

David,
ReplyDeleteWe are right back to the point I made much earlier in the article "Why They Hate the Second Amendment". It all boils down to this:
If they are forced to admit that it is not the gun that is the problem, then it must be that people are the problem. If that is the case, then we must individually assure our own security by the personal carry of (uh-oh) guns.
After all, the liberals have all trumpeted the idea that we are all equal, and that no one is any better than anyone else. (Of course, the real truth that they won't admit to is that all the animals are equal, but the pigs are more equal than the rest of animals.) However, to carry the charade, for them to admit that the gun is not the problem is to implicitly admit that they too are part of the problem as they too are inherently evil -- and they can't have that as they would never think or do evil.
See what happens when we depart from the foundations? The Founding Fathers were right -- they knew every last one of us (including themselves) are inherently evil. Of course, the Founders would be considered ultra-conservative, religious reactionaries today.
