You said — “The trial lawyers will have a tough one this time.”

I’m reading in other news reports that a teacher warned the university, reported the circumstances to police and wanted to remove him from class, because of worries about what he would do. They didn’t do anything. That was a year earlier.

In addition, even his fellow students *were discussing* the possibility that he might turn into a “school shooter” at some time in the future.

Now..., what does that tell you? This guy was so disturbed that everyone around him, including the students and university (not to even mention the police) knew all about it....

If this is true (and that cannot be taken for granted at this early stage), Virginia Tech is in for a world of legal trouble - and I don't think that it is wholly undeserved.

Per CNN: Cops (and university) knew of the prior stalkings. He had been brought to the counseling center because he threatened to kill himself.

I'm thinking Tarasoff liability may still be implicated.
