The time line does not go back far enough for "just the facts." The lack of concealed carry availability on campus is a last best chance to avoid such a massacre. VT did not replace the removal of self defence rights of the students with adequate security. Thats liberal culture for you.

I loath liberal culture now more than I ever have. It literally makes sheep to the slaughter out of otherwise intelligent human beings. The principle of protection has been lost, and no one seems to give a sweet damn.

Your welcome on the facts as posted.

Virginia Tech (and Blacksburg) is like a little island of Northern Virginia surrounded by rural South. The leadership on campus is at a loss, but them boys from Giles County woulda known what to do...

An outrage that armed police and guards were allowed on this “gun-free zone” school.

Some rogue, trigger-happy guard or cop could have shot innocent students.

Cops should not be allowed firearms in a gun-free zone.

Sub-lethal weapons only. Pepper spray, tasers and clubs only.

In fact, all police should be disarmed.

That will get the guns off the street.

Thugs would then see the unilateral, positive actions of the cops and no longer use guns as well.

I’m serious (in serious need of p.c. thought deprogramming).
