Thanks, I had not read all 3,000 or so posts so I did not see that. If, indeed, the bomb scares were to test security...I guess the college gets an “F” for Failing that test!

Did you read my list of 5 questions that the presser should have answered? I don’t believe there were any conspiratorial issues addressed there. Just the facts.

If you’ve never been in law enforcement or close to someone who has served, please don’t second-guess cops.

Why the hell not, they are pretty good at trying to second guess us. "Well you should have ....."

Got this info from a few freepers...heard that all schools in Virginia were closed, but can’t verify that info and heard it on Savage. Think these posters are more up to date.

“I don’t think all Va schools are canceled—the ones in Montgomery Co. (Blacksburg) are closed.”

They must be sweating bullets over at State (Department) if this guy came in on a visa.

CNN started a story on how this will open the discussion for the need for yet MORE gun control

Did CNN ever think that if someone in that building was allowed to CCW .. that the shooter could have been taken our sooner and more lives could have been saved???

Yea ... I didn't think so

Local channel 10 has Christian ministers and missionaries taking calls at the station and telling parents how to explain this to their children and to comfort them.

So far the two press conferences were uninformative except for admissions they thought he had left the bldg. Well, he was a killer on the loose then by their own admission.
