how long can it take to send guards to the parking lot entrance or post signs that say “turn back, no classes, campus shooting investigation in progress”.
You post as if you’ve never set foot on a large college campus.
THE parking lot entrance? surely you jest. Take a look at the VT campus map.
You may not understand the size of the campus you’re dealing with. I have no idea how many parking lots Tech has, but it’s got to be a lot—over half their undergrads are off-campus commuters and a lot of them drive. Then there’s the walkers, bikers, and the ones that ride Blacksburg Transit buses. Tech is a very wide-open campus with literally hundreds of entry points. You can’t secure them all. The most you could do is send people around to stick signs up on all the academic buildings, and try calling/emailing ALL the professors, classrooms, offices, and dorm rooms to get the word out. By the time you do that, it’s been at least two hours...hello, Norris Hall.
I understand what you’re saying, I just don’t know logistically how it’s possible on the scale you’d have to do it.
