The Old Switcheroo
Here in gun-friendly Colorado Springs, Colorado College students protested our state’s liberal gun control laws:
“Last year I had a very close and personal friend of mine from childhood die as a result of an accidental shooting,” Colorado College student Angela Cobian said.
Cobian said her friend that was killed was only 17-years-old. She said the shooter should have never had a gun.
“I have always been a firm believer in good gun control and enforcement of our gun laws which is really important,” Cobian said.
Angela helped organize the lie-in at Colorado College. 32 people representing Virgina Tech’s 32 vicitm’s lied down for three minutes in the middle of the school’s commons.
Meanwhile, in freakin’ Boulder some CU students there are taking a slightly different stance:
“We just want students to be able to point something other than a cell phone at a shooter in an assault situation,” said Jim Manley, a graduate student at CU Boulder. “Right now students are defenseless in any situation that might happen.”
I wish them luck.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, where are the calls for pipe and broomstick control laws?
lie-in? seems appropriately named–as in the big LIE.
And there was no snark over college journalists inability to use the english language? Here, let me help:
‘lied down’ – What politicians did/do when they open their mouths speaking to us commoners
‘lay down’ – to beclown oneself in a prone position
That is all.
ok, it wasn’t college journalists, it were professionals.
journalism – the only college courses easier than education courses.
So get one of those razor phones, and throw it at the guy. I saw in a commercial that those suckers’ll even stick in the side of a car.
