Alaska Darin Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 But why weren't they dropping pallets of water on campus after the first shooting????? Too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well then something does not add up does it? If they had reason to believe the killer left the school than they would have had to know who he was and why he killed the first two. Otherwise, it would be shotty police work to guess the motivations of an unknown assailant and assume he left campus putting the welfare of the entire campus community at risk. They should have assumed nothing without evidence locked down the campus, broadcast that the school has been locked down and cancelled, called in the feds, and set up manned road blocks at each road entrance to the school. If you feel that way, then you obviously believe that all cities should be locked down whenever there's a murder, right? Read my previous post.

VABills Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Now he just backed off saying he never described the shooter. But then he did say that they are not the same person. This guy is rattled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's kind of had a rough day, the investigation's only starting, still no one knows what's going on, and the press wants answers yesterday. sh--, yeah, he's !@#$ing rattled.

DC Tom Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Too funny. Same stupid "in hindsight doing something senseless at the time would have been better than doing nothing" logic. Within 48 hours, the networks will be trotting out "experts" saying that the VT security and police response were inept...and everyone will eat it up, ignoring the fact that not only were the "experts" specifically selected to give that statement, but if they were such !@#$ing experts they'd be in the field responding to these events and not in a damn studio.

When I lived in Hamburg, the Village of Hamburg was 25K people. Lock that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 When I lived in Hamburg, the Village of Hamburg was 25K people. Lock that down. No kidding...the timeline the President gave indicates they would have had to lock down a 2600 acre campus in 90 minutes...good !@#$ing luck. This is tragic, learn what can be done better, but don't condemn anyone but the murderer. David Caruso only solves stuff in an hour on TV--and last I checked no episode ever involved a heavily armed perp walking into buildings and opening fire on anything that moved. Now they are asking him about having a survelliance camera system to cover 2600 acres--when did VA tech become a military installation or max security prison...

Never mind the sheer impracticality of covering a 2600 acre area with cameras...can anyone tell me what that would have accomplished today? They could have watched 30+ people get gunned down in real time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternately, everyone jumps down the gullet of Boston city officials for excessively reacting to strange electronic boards scattered all over the city in a post-9/11 world, and then people jump all over the university officials because they DIDN'T react excessively enough. Just goes to show ya, it's always something, but as long as its something to B word about and criticize, we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you reserve judgment on the situation until all the facts of the case have been presented and detailed? You are too quick to judge before there's enough information to even begin to judge at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds exactly what was going through the authorities minds when anyone with an once of sense would have alerted the university at large immediately.

Sketch -- that type of reaction would take intelligence, patience, forethought and some damned common sense...what purpose would any of those traits serve? Come on man..get with the program...33 people are dead and blaming the shooter is not enough--let's blame the administration, campus cops, the alumni for not giving enough, the board of visitors, The entire ACC conference...Its all Coach K's fault--never trusted Rat Boy... God bless those families who found out today that they lost a loved one...maybe a little more silent reflection/self control and/or prayer (if the spirit moves you) and a little less finger pointing would help not just this situation -- but the planet in general...
