"'In those two to three minutes, students had already gotten a hold of it,' Hatchett said. 'We started getting panicked messages from students, who again, want to know, "Are we on lockdown?" "Do we need to evacuate?" "I called my mom, she wants me to get on a flight, like, right away."' So it was almost mass panic there for a good hour and a half before we finally figured out that everything was calm and safe.
'There wasn’t any concern that there was an active shooter in the building, but there was a concern that it would be happening sometime today. At that point, a lot of people just wanted to get as far away from here as they could.'"This is a quality university in what is usually known as a fairly safe area. This is life in America ca. 2019, where a mix of racism and racist ideology masquerading as "muh free speech" and the ability of anyone, regardless of criminal or psychological background, to buy a military-grade assault weapon on a whim, has allowed its citizens to have such unprecedented "freedoms" and "rights." (To be shot in the face by an angry white guy, perhaps.)
Other countries simply tremble in envy of us, I'm sure of it.
