March 26, 200818 yr My sister goes there and she showed me this threat warning. http://www.wiu.edu/newsrelease.sphp?release_id=6218 What the hell is going on in this world that every school needs to be shot up for no damn reason? These people disgust me.
March 26, 200818 yr Must be an Iowa and Illinois thing as of recently. 2 campuses in each steve have had something like it in the past month or so.
March 26, 200818 yr Because Cowards have seen what several of their kin have done across the country, and with the added bonus of instant fame due to tv and the internet it seems like the best option.

Unfortunately, this is absolutely right. Look at all the copycats shooting up high schools after Columbine. These kids should be getting even the American Way -- by getting super rich and buying their enemies out.
March 27, 200818 yr Instant fame?! Does anyone actually remember the names of any of these idiots that do this stuff? And do people not know the difference between being famous and infamous anymore? Seriously...our culture has become all about me, me, me. People will do anything to try to get noticed even for all the wrong reasons.

March 31, 200818 yr My sister graduated from WIU a few years ago. I've been on that campus a lot. Kinda weird to think about.
March 31, 200818 yr Yea, it's really weird but the copy cat idea is right. I think Illinois State had one of those warnings like a week or two after NIU.
March 31, 200818 yr Schools should really install text messaging systems if there is a problem---EIU just did this with our university and I definitely feel much more safe after signing up for it.
April 1, 200818 yr i refuse to sign up for those text messages until they guarantee me they won't sell my number to ad agencies.
