University of Nevada, Las Vegas senior Mike Henderson had just left his classroom on the second floor of Beam Hall on Wednesday when he heard about eight gunshots.

“I said, ‘Dad, I have to go, if this is the last time we talk, I love you,’” Henderson recalled. “I lost my mom a few years ago, so my dad is like my lifeline. Just saying goodbye to him was tough.”

    I’d argue “respecting what could kill you” is both a form and consequence of fear, fear being an instinct borne of self-preservation and the necessity of the social contract.
