Technical details of the differences may have been lost to about 30 or so VT students and employees last Monday.
I agree, life at VT is not as severe as that in a war zone.
Yet.
I suggest that perfect "hindsight" shouldn't always be an excuse for not using "foresight". VT is not Iraq. The dorm murders can't be compared to a war zone. When a murder occurs on a school campus, everyone on campus should be alerted...by emergency sirens if that is the quickest way to reach everyone.
I question the explanations that the murders in the dorm were believed to be an isolated instance.
Believed to be? And who is the source of that belief?
Having also been utilized several times in the past week or so...during the phony bomb threats...it is NOT a surprise that the majority of students ignored them.
