Oh Sparty my heart is breaking for your People



I was just in Lansing 3 days ago. Watching the
Dr. from the Hospital break down, the grief on
Governor Whitmer's Face, and the pain that those
families, friends, and fellow students will carry
with them for the rest of their lives breaks my
heart.

BTW Fuck the NRA and all those gun humping shits.
This madness has to stop.

That was so painful to watch. Governor Whitmer is probably the best governor in this country. We have some amazing women in charge of our state, but we also have a lot of gun nuts in this state too.

Had multiple classes at Berkey Hall. Was a heart wrenching night knowing this was going on in the buildings I used to walk through. Knowing so many of my friends and colleagues have children that go there right now.

Perp killed himself in front of police, sounds like a 43 year old with nothing to do with MSU. Motive could be Incel like related, but too early to tell for sure yet.

Perp had recently served 18 months probation for transporting a loaded weapon.

research there, and my house is less then 10 minutes from the main campus so I share in your
grief too. I just passed through Lansing 3 days ago on my way to Muskegon for the funeral of
a long time friend, wife to one of my friends, and she was a proud Spartan alum. I will go and
get her MSU ball cap and wear it proudly today.

* Green and White too.

Probably legit crazy, was obsessed with crucifixes and fighting demonic possession. A self described hermit who resented society for being sinful.
