DaTank Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 My sister goes there and she showed me this threat warning. http://www.wiu.edu/newsrelease.sphp?release_id=6218 What the hell is going on in this world that every school needs to be shot up for no damn reason? These people disgust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Must be an Iowa and Illinois thing as of recently. 2 campuses in each steve have had something like it in the past month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Because Cowards have seen what several of their kin have done across the country, and with the added bonus of instant fame due to tv and the internet it seems like the best option.

Unfortunately, this is absolutely right. Look at all the copycats shooting up high schools after Columbine. These kids should be getting even the American Way -- by getting super rich and buying their enemies out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Instant fame?! Does anyone actually remember the names of any of these idiots that do this stuff? And do people not know the difference between being famous and infamous anymore? Seriously...our culture has become all about me, me, me. People will do anything to try to get noticed even for all the wrong reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 My sister graduated from WIU a few years ago. I've been on that campus a lot. Kinda weird to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scwible Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yea, it's really weird but the copy cat idea is right. I think Illinois State had one of those warnings like a week or two after NIU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Schools should really install text messaging systems if there is a problem---EIU just did this with our university and I definitely feel much more safe after signing up for it.

bmags Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 i refuse to sign up for those text messages until they guarantee me they won't sell my number to ad agencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
