I guess that Colin does not understand that if someone was armed on that campus and saw the shooting going down, that he, Colin, very likely would not have been shot. He is fighting against something that had nothing to do with the shooting on the VT campus.

He has suffered a Brand Bunch Brain Bash. I know he was hurt, but why do those sorts not want to take care of themselves. I like the saying I saw in someones signature that says, in response to the question of why do I carry a gun. Because a Policeman is too heavy.
