John Yoo Saves Half the Library from the "Fire"

I was sitting in the library Atrium when the fire alarm went off and of course I dutifully shuffled into the exit stairwell with about 30 other students. We descended a flight to the marked exit only to find said exit locked.

So, we turned around and marched back up, bumping into other students who were coming down. Right as I was about to re-enter the library proper, John Yoo burst through the door saying, "No, come with me this way. I have the key."

And just like that John Yoo saved us all from our hypothetical fiery death. It was awesome.

Anyway, more thoughts on the alarms.

Check out this scenario:

1. You know campus police are all busy over at the protests.
2. You know there're millions of laptops and other valuable shit at the law school.
3. You set off the fire alarm, run in while everyone's outside, and steal shit.
4. The man who came up with this theory sees someone younger looking and not dressed like a law student poke his head into an IP class that has just resumed. Perhaps looking for valuables?

Sneaky.

Also, I'm gonna try and get some live blog action down at Wheeler later assuming the rain doesn't dissuade me.
