I agree with your. Didn't we learn anything for the Duke rape case about jumping to conclusions? Seems the talking points to the media are to blame the University. Interesting how similar they sound. The shooter is to blame. Only if he were admitted to the school in spite of something about his background that raised red flags would I consider putting part of the blame on the University.

I would have no problem sending my child to Virginia Tech. It is a beautiful area and the food is far better than at many other schools.

Virginia Tech sounds like a school I'd like my kids to transfer to. I watched numerous "pressers". Seemed to me those who attend the school, those who run the school, and the police have sense, dignity, integrity, reasonableness, and the ability to stay on focus and deal with the facts.

The facts. The facts.

And the patience to wait for facts, and in not joining the "hype" parade.

VA Tech sounds like my tenor of my home and family.

Seems the talking points to the media are to blame the University.

Apparently VT is holding its information close to the vest, which, in turn, infuriates the press, who then proceed with wild speculation and their own opinions as to what happened and what should have done.

Now, instead of mourning these 32 children, we're suppose to find the blame immediately and trash somebody -- anybody.

The press is like the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. It loves blood and it MUST be fed.

Watching the reporters pontificate last night, I had a fleeting thought that I prayed that they be completely wrong in everything they said so that, once and for all, this country can see what these awful people do to us day in and day out.
