Prosecutors have a name for this malady. It’s been dubbed the “CSI Effect.” In fact, it was blamed for an acquittal right here in Cleveland. People think everything is supposed to be done lickety-split like in the 30 sec. on TV and, also like on TV, everything fits perfectly and ties up in a nice neat little package. Real life just isn’t that pretty and neat.

so what. the president said thousands of those students commute to school, they could have been turned around at the entrances to the parking lot by 7:30AM. and no deployment of security was done to other halls at 7:30AM, no officers went to the buidling where the massacre took place until the shooting occurred there, at which time they had to break through the chained doors.

the bottom line is that they didn’t do much anywhere else across the campus for 2 hours, they only investigated the initial shooting at the first building.

They should have found the ventilation sytem and pumped tear gas into the room. The cops weren’t sneaky enough.

I assume they assumed this because of the nature of the first killings. He hadn’t shot anyone else in the hour or so after the first shootings, so it was a perfectly acceptable assumption to make.

I hope that isn't the case.

Hey, if you’re gonna have a press conference, answer the damn questions! This looks so bad, like the cops have info but won’t give it, looks like CYA big time. dogs

No, the claim that the individual is the, or one of the, shooter(s). That information was false.

Why ISN’T this VA TECH policeofficer willing to identify the type of weapons that were recovered?

listen to this - “where did he get the chains, are there normally chains hanging on the entrance doors”.

answer - “I don’t know”.

they don’t know if their doors are equipped with chains?

"If there is a murderer on the loose in a small city anywhere in America, should we "lock the town down"?

How exactly do you do that?"

If you do a quick search on "William Morva", you will find that after he killed two people, they "locked down" VA Tech on the first day of classes. The difference is that William Morva killed a hospital security guard and a local Deputy. If I was a lawyer for one of the victims, I would be making this comparison.

And they are not looking for the first shooter? Maybe he's dead too?

RE-CONFIRM please. Did you say Press Conference is now saying “Different Shooters??”

This makes it a hell of a lot scarier, esp. in light of recent bomb threats made against VT.

I can’t believe that! That would be something incredible if this is two different cases! If it is they have a loose gunman!
