The standard of proof that someone is a “danger to others” is very high and very hard to prove to a level to involuntarily “commit” a mentally ill person, or persuade a judge to commit them for very long if you do.

Agreed, but the standard of proof that someone is a danger to his fellow students should not be so high that a person can set a fire in a dorm and remain enrolled. I cant imagine what Tech's excuse is.

Tech admin like all college admin these days are liberal idiots. Cho would have been tossed out of school in a second for “hate speech” or “anti gay harassment” but was permitted to stay after setting fire in dorm, being flagged as violently disturbed by professor and tutor who set up their own code word for “help” when they met with him, kept on tho’ he was so intimidating the majority of his English classmates in one class would not attend class with him, and stalking/harassing TWO women. Whether those women chose to file legal charges with Blacksburg police or not, the university should have held its own review and taken its own action. Which it would certainly do for far lesser “offenses”.

I have not seen the fire story printed as a fact; do you have a link to that?
