9/11 6 years later Options

[cupcake]

i was turning in my application to run for freshmen council. saw it on the tv in the office where i was completing my paperwork, then quickly removed my application because there were bigger things to work on than my resume.

i began my work with students for social justice and we started putting together "no war" rallies.

I think I may be confused here...

your initial reaction to 9/11 was "no war"? because you said you had bigger things to work on that student council.

or were your rallies for no war against iraq?

because the workup for iraq iraq wasn't for another year or so...

I woke up at around 7 or so for my 9am class and went down to the dining hall for breakfast. I was sitting there eating cereal when I looked up at the T.V. screen and saw a building with smoke coming from the top. I didn't really pay much attention to it until I noticed the scrolling text. I thought that was really weird that a plane would fly into a building. I went back to my room and turned on my tv and watched the MSNBC coverage of the supposed "fire in the trade center". I called my dad and was talking to him about how weird this was when all of a sudden the second plane hit the other building. My dad and I both yelled out in surprise (i woke up my roommate) and we were yelling how the hell this was happening. We both agreed it wasn't an accident and started talking about what was the cause of this. Then the first building collapsed and my dad started crying. Shortly after the second building collapsed and we were both speechless.

I still to this day curse those motherfuckers for what they did and hope and pray that Americans will get off their lazy complacent asses and put the jihad on those that mean us harm.

I was in my dorm room in Gates when my dad called me and woke me up to tell me. My first class of the day wasn't til 11 I think, so otherwise I wouldn't slept in.

Anyway, I turned the TV on and at that point, I think both towers were hit, but neither had fallen yet. They kept talking about the Pentagon, but nobody knew anything for sure. I needed to take a shower for class, but was glued to the TV. Eventually I decided to take a short break from te TV and take a shower....by the time I came back in the room, the first tower had already fallen.

When I did go to class later (goin' band), I remember seeing signs all over the Music Building/UC that said "In light of recent events, Goin' Band is cancelled today" or something like that.

I walked into the UC (now SUB) and they had several large TVs in there now, and there was a pretty good crowd of people watching. I watched for a bit, then went back to my dorm room to watch alone.

no, i figured there would be war, just wasn't entirely clear with who or where. I just figured that if i came out against the war, any war, i wouldn't have much of a shot for freshman council, and so i just thought about what i found to be more important.

i didn't want us to respond to this tragedy with creating more tragedies. and some of the bombings I was ok with, but I was worried about another Kosovo where too many bombs miss the mark and a lot of collateral damage would outweigh the benefit to me.

but this is all my opinion, just the way i felt.

not that i would have changed the world one way or another.

ok, your initial reaction to the attack was "no war".

I honestly cannot even fathom that mindset.

my first audible sentence when I saw the footage was "I'll kill a motherfucker".

you get ambushed, you define your target and you assault into it and through. that is the doctrine I have lived by forever.

I'm all for you guys wanting a war... the point is to declare war on the real perpetrators of 911... the U.S. puppet government and their Illuminati handlers.

without getting too into it (for fear of impala's e-wrist slaps), correct target ID is essential. I've never wavered there.

I was asleep. My first class on Tuesday/Thursday wasn't until 11, so I was sleeping in. I woke up around 10, checked my email, and had one from a friend talking about the attacks. I looked it up on the news online, but it really didn't hit me that hard. I spent the rest of the day being pissed off at the people who were walking around like zombies in a surreal mindset or being glued to the TV. All I can think is that I was so desensitized to the news growing up that this didn't strike me as being a huge deal. I blame having grown up in Waco.

um, we are in west texas, and you thought being AGAINST a war would help you win?
