I assume he will also no longer be able to live in the engineering hall basement. Beyond personal moral satisfaction, coming forward only means sacrifice. But a number of people have lost their lives, which keeps the scale of the tipster's personal losses in perspective. A terrible event all around.

> number of people have lost their lives, which keeps the scale of the tipster's personal losses in perspective I disagree. The shooter’s victims fell to a random act of violence.
