Well, how about the actions of the president? You have a first shooting incident where people are killed. do you shut down your campus? No...you keep classes running for two more hours, and then the SAME guy goes to his dorm, reloads, writes a “disturbing” note, and then goes out and kills 31 more students. Can you say “Prosecute the President?” If this is all true, how can he even THINK abuot attending ANY memorial events! HE FRIGGIN FAILED AND KIDS DIED!!!! I’ll hold my opinion on the police department for now.

1st of all - and this is a general note for EVERYBODY -

WE SHOULDN’T BE JUMPING TO ANY CONCLUSIONS. WE SHOULD WAIT A WEEK BEFORE REALLY KNOWING ALL THE FACTS.

2nd, you’re going on hindsight. (I’m going to make some assumptions here that have flown around as fact, but realize they may be all wrong.)

If this man really just shot 2 people in 1 building in a room - intended target, and an incidental who was “interfering” - it could be reasonably assumed an isolated “regular” crime in which the perpetrator wasn’t going to randomly go shooting people.

Supposedly they DID lock down that dorm, but there may have been no reason to believe a “nutcase” random killer was lurking about to ambush and massacre.

I’d cut the college a bit of slack. Probably some things should’ve been done better, but bottom line, as always....

DON’T BE A LIBERAL. BLAME THE ACTUAL THUG INSTEAD OF CASTING BLAME AROUND TO MERE BYSTANDERS.
