“......the VTech students are presenting themselves as admirable young adults.”

They certainly are! If it were under other circumstances, each and every one I’ve heard would contribute positively to a recruitment ad for the university.

I understand what you’re saying about Shep’s reference, but I do believe he said it out of respect and concern.

What an awful story. Glad your son and his bus was found. The man should have been fired—and he’s DoEd? Disgusting!

From what I understand, the professor who was a Holocaust survivor, lived in Israel for some time, and than came to the US. Not sure if he was the Romanian but his name does sound Slavic.

“Sure, it COULD have been pre-meditated, but I don’t think it is unbelievable that he was just a nut who wanted to get his ex-girlfriend.”
It COULD have been premeditated??? It WAS Premeditated..
And the Chains and Locks were just an idea out of the blue? Not to mention his bullet proof vest, No id documentation on his person, erasing the guns id numbers and blowing off his face..
You can stick with your (could have been premeditated arguement if you want). Others are not so willing to drink from the spin basket and just take what they feed us as the truth. Ask the important questions of why he had it all set up and planned out, or why is a visa student allowed to buy ammo and weapons in the USA, while our govt officials are trying to limit legal americans from protecting themselves.

Convocation @ 2pm (Pres Bush & Laura , Gov will be there)

I remember President Clinton at the OK City bombing. It was all about him. I wish the President would not attend, but send a message and announce he would come to the campus later for a more private visit.

Sounds like the gun dealer on that forum who said he was being questioned by ATF about selling a gun to Cho really was telling the truth....

One story said his girlfriend a the RA, another said it was his girlfriend’s ROOMMATE and the RA.

I don;t know which, if either, are correct. We will know eventually, if the media is still covering the story when the truth is finally known. In the meantime half of what we have “learned” hasn’t been correct, and the truth is getting harder to keep track of with every knew “story” that turns out to be unwarranted rumor.

Still ID’ing victims. Still notifying next of kin.
