I go to UF now, but I still know some people at UCF and some friends who work for local media who were up all night.
I'll be curious to see what kind of explosives it was or if there was any indication that the student was going to cause any more destruction.

Yep. Caught the corner of a pane of glass out of a picture frame between the toes, corner jagged in about a half-inch into my foot.

Police are saying the kid had hundreds of rounds of ammunition and at least for explosives in his backpack, and had the intention to kill as many people as possible this morning, but he changed his mind last minute and decided on suicide.

how lucky, and tragic, what was this guy dealing with that he felt killing 'as many people as possible' would fix whatever he was going through..very disturbing that there are probably more disturbed and suffering people with the same issues.

That one has always made me puzzled. It's as if a couple hundred rounds of ammo is something not commonplace for people who own guns. Obviously in this instance, he intended to use them for nefarious purposes, but still. It's always "so and so had over 100 rounds of ammunition at their house." I have 5x that much in a single box of .22lr downstairs. Don't even get me started on the spam cans of 7.62x54R where I have over 1,000 rounds for my two mosin-platforms. I'm just a small time collector and I have at least 2,000 rounds of ammo at this very moment. Just always seems like it's a scare tactic that reporters like to use to get their hooks in. |

I think in this case the ammunition count is used to further prove that his intent was less than noble. If they had said he was found with a gun and ammunition, it could leave it open to interpretation that it was just a random suicide.

Yeah, but then you always read about the guy who went on a filibuster length rant at a town hall meeting in NJ and someone called the cops saying they were making "threats" and then the cops show up, confiscate weapons and ammo, and the news reports that he had 3 high powered rifles (even if they're just lever-action 30/30's) and 200 rounds of ammunition as if that was something overly dangerous.

It's a statement of fact of something that occurred.

If he had 200 rounds of ammunition in his home, and the news reported he had 200 rounds of ammunition in his home, what exactly is the issue?

I would like to know more about the explosives. Who cares about the ammo.

Because there is a decision in each of these cases to report "just enough truth" rather than the whole truth. It's always "x-guns and x-rounds of ammo" but never any information on what caliber, what make, etc. If you're going to omit pertinent facts and keep vague ones, what's the point? |

Case in point. Cops seize 4 rifles, 2 handguns, and 1,000 rounds of ammo from John Doe's house. That's a basic fact, but gives so little information as to be superfluous.
"Cops seize four .22LR bolt-action rifles, two .22LR revolvers, and one-thousand rounds of .22LR ammo from John Doe's house" and "Cops seize one AR-15, one illegally-converted automatic SKS, one AKM, an unregistered fully automatic Uzi, two CZ-61 Skorpion assault pistols and 1,000 rounds of ammunition in those calibers." Two very, very different stories, but in the minimal facts fear-monger approach, they are the exact same. |
