[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3086383, member: 13624"] Funny you mention it--I remember [I]exactly[/I] where I was when I heard the news about Columbine, and who I was with. I was in high school, but a few of us (the Science Bowl team, getting ready to head to nationals) had taken a field trip with our coach and one of the physics teacher to the electron microscope lab at Wright-Patterson AFB. Our coach--with whom I still keep in touch from time to time--made the comment that "y'know, I'm pretty much of a pacifist, but if something like that happened at CHS, I think I could drop him." I particularly caught the words "drop him." Not "intervene," not "respond," but "drop him," as someone who'd already chosen to forfeit his status as a student and ordinary person and claimed the mantle of "active threat." I found out a couple of months later that she'd competed in high-power rifle in her younger days. I knew there was a reason I liked her. :-) [/QUOTE]
