I didn’t say that he SHOULD face lawsuits, if he did everything by the book. He shouldn’t. But you know he WILL, even if they are frivolous. The anti-gunners will try to ruin this guy, and if they have to bankrupt him with frivolous lawsuits, you bet they’ll do it. Look at what Mikey Bloomberg is trying to do to a few Virginia gun shops.

The press has positively sickened me even more than usual which I didn’t think was possible.

First impressions, that’s all. It signifies no more than that.

I think telling the public that the guy is dead should be pretty reassuring as to the fact that the matter is under control. I don’t think knowing his name would add much to that, and might harm the investigation.

THAT is why we wait for the information and do not rely on second and third hand RUMORS.

Aren't you the dreamer..........LOL.

I see Gerldo isn't satisfied with the press conference.

This is why I get all my news off the internet via wire reports and such. At least you don’t have the constant meaningless airfilling and tear jerking the tv press likes to pull...

"Murder/suicide" -- sounds like a general statement to assign to both the shooting instances.

IOW, the VA President and the police are getting peppered en masse with demands for answers from every corner imaginable and are doing everything possible to provide for those demands but without undue speculation.

And, it looks, about now, that the speculation (murder/suicide) is provable in part, but is not yet complete with investigatory information.

That takes time, and meanwhile FR and the MSM are so quick with those triggers in demanding answers, it's probably best for officials in VA to simply shut down, a bit, in order to slow down a run-away horse named "out of control" and logistically unreasonable demands for answers.

Do you seriously think that the gun vendor won’t be sued by someone? It makes no difference if he followed the rules or not, someone will try to sue him. If it isn’t the family members of one of the deceased, it will be some liberal third party busybody. They may or may not prevail in a lawsuit but you can bet your bottom dollar SOMEONE is going to sue the vendor over this. Not saying it is right, mind you, but it WILL happen.

Geraldo has said that many, many more questions have been asked than answered.

Isn’t that self-fulfilling wish on his part? The press throws out billions of questions and whines when they all aren’t answered immediately.

Don’t people want to WAIT to find out the true facts?

I heard that it wasn’t the exterior door that were chained, but the interior doors to the 2nd floor hallway leading to classrooms.

I can’t believe it... Geraldo just complained that the press conference did not identify the “girlfriend”.

That’s all that poor lady needs at this point!!!

The media is reporting that he had the receipts for the gun purchases in his backpack that he was wearing during his killing spree. Why in the world would he have the receipts for the murder weapons in the backpack?

Also, this guy was a 23 yr old senior at Tech. How many 23 yr old seniors still live on campus?

Strange stuff.

Megyn: We’ve been told for “DAYS” that Seung-Hui didn’t have ID.

Whoraldo “reporting” a most unsatisfactory news conference with lots of questions and no opportunity for answers. Speaker (college president or spokesman?) says he wanted Q&A session but was voted down. Will have pool feed with CBS in charge.

The MSM never fails to dissapoint.

The internet had the name Cho and the gun shop owner last night already.

I’ve learned more here at Freep and on conservative talk radio than I’ll ever get from the MSM.

My question too.

And who was it they were “interviewing” as a suspect when the second round of shooting started? And why?
