The University of Richmond lifted a campus lockdown Tuesday evening after police did not locate a man seen wearing a holster with some type of handgun.
Thank goodness there was a no-nonsense firearm prohibition and a professionally developed plan in place!

The e-mail, voice mail and text message alert to warn students went out only 80 minutes after the man-with-a-gun call to campus police.
Run. Hide. If you can't hide, play dead.
That's advice for becoming ROADKILL.
If the police arrive before the killer, keep your hands visible and obey all commands.
The suspect yesterday was wearing a windbreaker emblazoned "SHERIFF."

Well, yeah, Defender--if his windbreaker said "SHERIFF," that meant everybody should obey his commands--and of course, not "lift a finger" against him.
Ah, yes. Carnage as usual.
I am becoming more and more in favor of letting the madmen kill all the sheep they want, either that of repeal the right of ovines to vote.
Either way we are out from under the dead weight of the irresponsible oxygen wasters.
I am only slightly sarcastic when I say I am waiting for a college or university to forward a pre-emptive plan for thwarting these monsters ability to sow fear. I envision that plan will be for all students to present themselves once weekly in a large assembly perhaps at a football stadium and once there to stand totally still.
Meanwhile open invitations will be published to murderous scum who would like to participate and the university will provide bench rests for pistol and rifle at various points throughout the bleachers for them.
The press release would go something like this. "In our never ending effort to protect our students and provide a secure knowledge that we are in control we have taken this pre-emptive step in order to remove the power from the killers and retain it in our hands where any such activity will be under the control of the university. This step will place the killers under our supervision and we will monitor them keep an accurate accounting of their scores, thus we reiterate that seizing this power to terrorize and control the killing to acceptable numbers and locations we our campus will be safer for the majority of students."
Or is that already the policy and I just missed the press release?
Doubtless some of the students are NOT waiting for an official policy, arrow. They're gearing up. Quietly, discreetly. Like the post-9/11 attempted hijackers who got the crap beaten out of them by outraged passengers who thought they were going to be a flying bomb, SOME future school shooters will be very surprised. For about 5 seconds or however long it takes to bleed out.
I knew students like that in my college days. I was one. In today's terrorist-aware America, we can bet it goes on still. The killers have managed to miss those particular classrooms so far.
A suspect in the U or R situation is a 19-year-old dishwasher at a nursing home. He had a pellet pistol. Was he attempting suicide-by-cop? Trying to help out by "testing" UR's security? I can't wait to find out.
I DO know that if it had been for real, it could have been worse than Va. Tech. A more compact campus, woods. Lots of concealment.
New info:
The suspect told library staff he wanted to spend the night there "to investigate open fornication taking place there."
His seized diary relates how he has suffered through many things but God has always brought him through. It also muses about the laws on carrying a sword in public, and whether he would have to leave it in its scabbard. He enjoys fantasy games.
So: Christian, feels persecuted and isolated in a modern secular world, has an interest in weapons. Sound like anyone you know, only not as smart?
To straightarrow -- they have as
good made the announcement you mooted. Let's recall the Perry
quote about "lockdown" the futile
hope that the number of innocent
fatalities will be the number of
disarmed victims confined with the
murderer. That's not a quote, that's a considerably paraphrased
version. Also note that to maintain any semblance of concern for those "protected" by such plans and by lockdowns the planners are assuming that the perpetrators will be few in number, not carrying a lot of ammunition, and not in communication with anyone else,
which defies reason and experience
both. cycjec
