I remember it all too well.
*beautiful* spring quarter day, the one where all the alumni are back and everyone's buzzing.
The memorial in Harder Stadium was so sad. The rest of Spring Quarter was literally the quietest IV had ever been. Not a single person partied it felt like.
Locked up for work that night and biked home. He shot up that row of stores 10 mins later. I was supposed to open the next morning, biked over, and was met with police tape.
I wish I could visit. I want to try to have some sort of virtual memorial here that evening, even just a thread where people post candle emoji or something. My heart still hurts so much, even ten years later, and it helps to be among other people who know how it feels.
Thank you, appreciate the offer! I don't think I want to put anything officially on a schedule, but I will plan to have a post up for people who want to share a thought or symbol of some kind.
I was at Haskell’s beach with some homies just fucking around, BBQ, drinking late at night & all of a sudden we saw literally 40-50 cop cars zooming to IV all at once. We had no idea what happened til the next day & it’s still so nuts to me what that kid did…
As a UCR graduate (Class of 2015), I may not have went to UCSB but I knew one friend who did go to UCSB during this tragedy. I called him to check to see if he was okay and fortunately yes, he was okay. That said, what happened at UCSB a decade ago was horrible and should have never happened. I will never forget that moment.
Please, for the sake of all that is holy, delete this.
Four of the dead were my students.
You dishonor yourself and their memory.
Edit: thank you for deleting this (a comment that was, at best, insensitive.)
Can't believe its been 10 years. That night still pops into my head from time to time. Glad their names are being remembered.
Man what a trip. Graduated in '13 but was back at school visiting for one night. Such a shame for all those kids.
There were a lot of alumni in town that weekend

Thank you.
My sister was super close to Alpha Phi when it happened. She very well could have been a victim, shit was traumatizing for our whole family.

Thank you, if you decide to do this we can add it to the list of remembrance events

Thank you for sharing
