Emmanuel professor fired after shooting re-enactment
Advertisements [?]
BOSTON -- A professor at Emmanuel College has been fired for his in-class re-enactment of the Virginia Tech shootings.

Nicholas Winset was terminated and permanently barred from the Boston campus after a lecture he gave on Wednesday showed the gunman could have been stopped if another student was carrying a gun, according to a Boston Herald report.

On the Internet web site You Tube, Winset explains how he used a magic marker as a depiction of a gun.

Winset said the re-enactment was part of a lecture on the issue of gun control. He said he wanted to teach his students that they should fight back in violent situations.

Pure genius!

It would have been so much better if once gunshots were heard, a whole bunch of armed students showed up wondering who they need to shoot. And they'd be surrounded by other students, wondering if THEY are the ones that need to be shot. And when the cops show up, they'd find a campus full of armed students pointing guns at one another.

Yeah.
