Thanks for taking the time to post. My prayers are with you, your friends, and the families of those at VT.
Like you said, everyone starts spouting on how people screwed up. The fact is, in most cases, nothing can be done because these are random lunatics. It is like every sporting event, everyone would have made the great play or call to win the game.
This country needs to get over the blame game and finger pointing at others and point where it belongs, the individuals (criminals, murders, terrorists) that did it. Learn from the mistakes, if there is obvious negligence take action and move on. Unfortunately politics and agendas over ride common sense.
Again, thank you for taking the time to post.
Yes indeed. It is apparent now that they should have taken action at 7:30 when they were not sure where the shooter was. Stupid imo. They admit they had kids killed and a shooter loose but decided not to let anyone know this until 2 hours later. If I was a parent then I would be holding these guys responsible...as well as the shooter. At least we now know the facts as far as the first shooting.
1. The police and college knew that they had dead people - shot - 7:30 a.m.
2. They knew the shooter was on the loose.
3. They did nothing further until 9:30 a.m.
Case closed on that subject. They should have taken action but didn’t. There excuse is they thought it was an isolated incident. Ridiculous. Who cares if it was isolated...you still had a shooter on the loose. Someone should be fired.
