re: "Mindless"

Rand at Transterrestrial Musings ("Biting Commentary about Infinity…and Beyond!") puts the smackdown on a dolt from my alma mater.

Money quote(s):

"(W)hat’s wrong with “reactive” as a fall back when “preventative” doesn’t work (as it clearly didn’t in Blacksburg)? Particularly when “preventative” seems to consist of putting up “unarmed victims heregun-free zone” signs?

Whatever he learned, or how fast he learned it, he didn’t learn it from these students, who disarmed a gunman up the road from his school back in 2002."

&

"(T)hey have difficulty finding any actual examples of this to justify their bizarre paranoia. And they don’t seem to live in fear of the psychopaths among them who ignore the “gun-free zone” signs, who are the only ones with guns under their setup."
