In a somewhat related matter, Fox News is reporting the killing of 4 people in Queens, NY, and yet Queens is NOT being locked down. When will we learn??? /sarc
You're comparing a crime-ridden NYC borough with a college campus? Get real! First of all, the double murder in the dormatory was a blatant cover-up by the VT administration in order to hide their flawed liberal, PC policies. All at the expense of the safety of on-campus students and faculty, and those who are traveling/arriving at said campus. So far, the best excuse VT administration and the campus rent-a-cops have come up with, is that they "assumed" the killer had left campus grounds. Why in the hell would they assume that?! VT administration is totally culpable in the slaughter of thirty professors and students @ Norris Hall.
Regarding your sarcastic remark about the killing of four people in Queens, don't you agree that the citizenry (in ANY neighborhood or area for that matter) have the right to be informed *if* the killer is at large? I for one would love to know, so I can, at least, lock my doors and have a firearm at the ready.
