In a departure from the all too familiar script, a guy in Florida has apparently killed himself instead of going on a rampage with the stockpile of guns and homemade bombs found in his dorm room atCentral Florida Universitythe University of Central Florida. Morning classes were cancelled until the explosives were removed. At this point, not much is known about the identity of the student or his motives, so we await the careful crowdsourced analysis of his Facebook posts, Twitter messages, voter registration records, and the contents of his bookshelves, if any, to determine whether he was a death-obsessed liberal or a regrettable aberration from the typical population of peaceful, law-abiding gun fondlers.
Good thing it was a dorm, not a off campus apartment, so no pesky search warrants. Even better, he only offed himself. Yay Florida?! This all feels so strange
But, but, don't all students at public universities have the right to carry... Right up until the moment they start shooting randomly? Geez, get on the job, NRA, this is a travesty against the constitooshun!
UCF is known as U Can't Finish in O town, due to the size and difficulty in getting your classes. Used to be all commuter, now has dorms, frats, a spiffy new Bright House stadium for football. Not a terrible school, but for partying in the dong state, it is no FSU. Edit I realize you know this since you live there, as I once did. Duh l
In fact, doesn't the "Oh shit there's a crazed shooty person" alarm initiate a lockdown, not an evacuation, and isn't that the exact opposite of what you want when the situation involves homemade explosives of unknown stability in the building?
Wasn't Mae West the latter?
Yes, true heroes always fire guns at targets surrounded by improvised explosives. Nothing could <em>possibly</em> go wrong, after all.
We just had a harmless nut, who would occasionally take a dump on the back stairs.

Dude, this was a GOOD outcome, by Florida standards, don&#039;t ruin it for them!

Just finished listening to the BBC report on Nixon. God, how the nation can be wrecked by petty ambition.
I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a job waiting for him in Arizona as a public school security guard.
If Speedo Guy has a concealed weapon on him... well, I just don&#039;t want to know.
&quot;They have some standards&quot;
Unlike Agnew...

we&#039;ll need to see his long form death certificate...
there&#039;s a small but significant difference between murder/suicide and suicide/murder
The old caboose pistol. Everyone has one.
