No one at the engineering building contributed to the 'cycle of violence', and the perpetrator, probably on the verge of qualifying for Social Security Disability from so much repetitive motion, eventually killed himself. Violence 'cycles' only when the response to it is inadequate, and it would have been interesting to see how far the perpetrator would have gotten were his wandering attacks committed in a classroom building at the Infantry School at Ft. Benning, or for that matter, on an Israeli Kibbutz. We live in a world where there are homicidal maniacs, and a point that is forgotten - or distorted - is that, in the absence of our designated employees (the Police) in such a catastrophe, we must reassume the responsibilities for ourselves, especially for the saving of lives. The Liberal-Left brainwash of 'no resistance' didn't work any better at Virginia Tech than it did at Columbine or at the Luby's Cafeteria hemorrage. Collective action or inaction takes collective thought, and inaction in a mass-murder scenario has been repeatedly shown to be the deadliest killer of all. But the only thing necessary for a Liberal to still sleep well, being devoid of conscience, is to still be breathing.
