I have no problem speaking ill of the dead in this case. We're grooming generations of pseudo-intellectual emo cowards.
As far as I understand it, the only person to really fight back against the shooter was the old man who died barricading a door. If you read the report, you'll see that some students chose to just lay on the floor and play dead in a classroom. They stayed there even after the shooter left the room, only to be killed when the shooter came back for a second sweep and started insurance popping bodies. Utterly pathetic. Pick up your balls, America.

One of the debate points in one of the classes I took on managing mass casualty incidents was allowing professors to pack guns in the classroom. The problem, of course, is that this would be a public policy and make the professor the first target of any would-be VTech emulator. The best place to hide a defensive handgun is amongst the student body. The biggest problem with that is finding someone with enough common sense to use it correctly.
