I was sitting in the room... within 6 feet. It wasn't 'nothing'.

I think the half-truths are probably more harmful than the real truth. We don't know what has happened since.

Class began fairly normal. Class begins and the professor began her lecture. Some time into it, he raised his hand and made a very weird comment. it was completely unrelated to everything going on in class, and the timing and content was very strange. Someone before class had written a happy valentines day note up on the board. (student, not professor). He asked if she could erase it off the board, and then started explaining that it was distracting, something about a date Saturday night, and how he couldn't do any of his reading this week because of that holiday. She asked if he was serious, and in a voice that sounded very joking, he said that no, he was only kidding. A little while later, maybe 15-20 minutes, he again raises his hand. We were looking at hypotheticals on a slide, and one involved both the University and Auburn. Again the timing and connotation of these comments were very weird and completely out of context. He asked her if she had written these herself or if she had gotten them out of the book. Again he looked very agitated. She said she had written them. He then asked her to change the slide up on the board, because Auburn up on the screen bothered him. He said something about how he has siblings that go there, and how it was very distracting to him. She seemed to notice something was wrong at this point, and just disarmed the situation by saying sure and changing the slide in the PowerPoint presentation.
After a while he began typing something on his laptop in Microsoft Word. He had been taking notes there, but what he was typing was different. I also heard afterward from someone sitting near him that he had been googling things on his laptop too (i.e. school shootings, OKC bombing). He raised his hand for the last time about 15-20 min before the end of class. At first he said he had a joke to tell, then an apology. He began reading it aloud. At first he said something along the lines of, I'm not like Nebraska or Colorado, and I'm not like Andrea Yates or Charles Murray or any of those other defendants we learned about in Criminal Law.. If you want to go through my bag, or my car, or my apartment, you are more than welcome to. and then some sort of apology about how he was sorry.

I think I was one of the few people that it clicked with that Nebraska and Colorado were references to school shootings. sometime during his talking, the professor asked him if this was the joke. He replied with something like 'yes, I just need to read all of it'. After he got finished, he was very visibly upset. He was shaking, his eyes had welled up and he was crying a bit. He was very twitchy and jumpy. He turned his chair and reached at the top of a black bag, and grabbed it by the top. He did not try to reach inside. Almost immediately, he put the bag back down, and then turned his chair face forward again. He reached for his keys, and his shaking intensified. He looked like he was on the brink of breaking down. With keys in hand, he got up and tried to leave. He did not pack up his things. He said 'excuse me' to the person next to him, and the guy began moving his chair up and out of the way very slowly. He suddenly seemed to change his mind and turned and sat back down. At that point he began using his laptop mousepad to highlight the text of what he was said in class, and made the font very large, so it took up the whole screen. After class I think the Prof kept him in there to talk to him.

To me it felt like he was trying to make amends, or apologizing for something he was about to do.. The room was very tense and very strange.. and I don't know how many people picked up on all the things that happened.. but it felt very intense sitting that close to him.

People that claim it's nothing are either stupid or naive. Saying you know him well enough to know he wouldn't do anything is the most invalid argument ever. The guy's parents from the NIU shooting also didn't think their kid was capable.

and please stop posting rumors and false truths. it wont assist in any way getting the kid the help he neds.

You'll get a mini package your first year (for about 20 bucks) which will either be 3 or 4 tickets, and you can choose the one with the Auburn ticket in it. If you want to sell the tickets, any ticket you sell can easily go over 100 bucks. I bought an LSU ticket for $200, then had to pay the extra $45 to get it upgraded to the student guest ticket for my boyfriend.

Why bother? You like crying?

Go Gators.

However, the most hilarious part of this whole thing is where one of the black (1L) students responds to an Asian student by saying, "To the Asian.....u aint black." Further idiocy follows.

This is a funny statement coming from a Gator fan to an Auburn fan. I only want 'Bama tickets to go to the Iron Bowl and to watch them lose to Mississippi State again.

War Damn Eagle.
