All these things are very true for a populace/group that is well prepared, as the whole 'lets just play this pre-recorded tape' thing that the college does before actually giving any sort of useful information illustrates Rockford City College is anything but prepared, they never expected anything like this and therefore never figured on having to REALLY plan for it. Right now its a 'we don't know what to do' situation in the deans office. Hence the whole contradicting instructions, the 'ok just wait here till someone else tells us what to do,' and the "I don't know what you should do so I'm just going to be VERY vague with your insturctions"<br/><br/><br/>As far as the panic goes, while it is business as normal as far as classes go. Most people in the town would have heard about everything by now, or at least parts of it. Like 'Huge riot,' police unable to gain control,' 'it's in your neighborhood and therefore possibly hurting your family,' 'the rioters are eating people', ect. This compounded with the emergency siren suddenly going off would be more than enough in my opinion to stir up some panic in a group of people who's nerves are already on edge every day (like it is in most colleges).<br/><br/><br/>Also....there actually is a town named Rockford????? where is it?
