Like I said, I'm sure if the other students were armed as well and it would have been a fair fight as opposed to a suicide quest, they probably would have fought back.

Also I know quite a bit about Glocks and they are prone to reloading complications and jamming which is why many police and security forces are starting to move away from them.

How is that relevant? Cho's gun didn't jam & USA Today ran a story this morning about how his shooting spree was nearly ceaseless. On a Glock 19, after the last shot of a clip, the slide locks back automatically. One push of a button near the trigger with the thumb ejects the cartridge, the other hand pops in the new clip, then the same thumb pushes the slide release & you are back in action. It literally takes like 3 seconds at the most for someone that knows what they're doing.

It seems like people just don't try but, it's not their fault, this kid was a maniac and didn't deserve the media attention he's got. His name, his face, and his videos should have never been shown. I agree with Pr3ssur3 about the whole final word thing.

No arguement there. The media sensationalizing the event feeds into the fear (Media cultivating fear. Imagine that!) people have in general and is probably creating new pyschopaths as we speak.
