No problems with the police here.

Usually in crimes of passion like that there is very little chance of further violence. It was a reasonable assumption by the police.

Blaming the police for this is stupid. Blaming the administration is not.

You're assuming that it was a "crime of passion." then why did hetke the time to file off the serial numbers on the gun? Why did he bolt the doors shut? These things indicate premeditation, nto a "crime of passion."

Let's get real here for a second. In a crime of passion, which was believed to be a murder/suicide initially, wouldn't there have been a gun left behind?

How can you shoot someone else and then yourself, without a gun being left behind?

The fact that no gun was left behind should have kept officials on their toes - but apparently it didn't.

The mistake was forgetting that a university is not like a neighborhood but essentially one large building. So of like ignoring a shooting in a skyscraper.

Over the next few days everyone and everything will get blamed except the screwball that did it.

Oh, they will make reference to the shooter but simply as a jumping off point to air their personal agendas.

Next to condemning America and American society, the greatest cause of this violence will be laid at the feet of an inanimate object.
