There were a number of other people in the cafe. No one did anything, but maybe call the police, who arrived to late, as usual. All were disarmed as per school policy.

Seven people -- customers and Au Bon Pain staff -- saw the attack and fled the restaurant. Two people called 911.

As a Tech alumni, I heard that all of the people there--who fled--were actually young women, who could not do anything about the attack other than to call the cops.

The unfortunate victim’s family of this tragic event can sue the school for first disarming, then failing to protect her.

We in VA are fighting every week to allow the right to carry arms on all VA schools.

>>”My roommates were like, ‘Why is it always us?’ she said.<<

1. Because you’re a bunch of cowardly, unarmed defenseless targets; and

2. you continue to support that kind of environment with your tuition payments

That’s why - moron.

A story about an attack and there is no description of the actual attack beyond it being a “disturbance”. What was seen, what was heard by witnesses? Great journalisim.

As per norm, this tragedy, as with most, could have been interrupted, but possible not averted, by an armed and trained individual.

Often, it is the result of good men (standard rules of English apply-females included of course), doing nothing, that allows aberrant behaviors to go unchecked.

Perhaps a student or students at the door(ready to escape)yelling at him to “stop!” would have been the catalyst that interrupted this event. Outcome may not have changed (girl still may have died) but w/o action, there is no reaction (certain laws of physics apply to behaviors too).

No one will allege any responsibility to the girls who fled w/o doing anything but dailing for police, but in a society where the breakdown of civic responsibility is the goal, these sheeple did exactly what they have been taught not get involved, you may get hurt.... Leave the heavy lifting for those trained by the state to do so, etc.

I am not saying that since all others present where female, that if a male or males were present anything different would have occurred, actually I believes that the outcome would have been the same. Sad, Change we can believe in.....

God Bless & MOLON LABE

They were sitting at a table having coffee at the Au Bon Pain cafe in the Graduate Life Center when the disturbance began shortly after 7 p.m.

This part is myth. They were standing... his arms around her from behind in an apparent embrace... knife hidden.
