VaTech needs to be shut down. The entire police force needs to be given stalinist style show trials and taken to the gallows.
This is a total disgrace from the top down. A: Barring students from carrying.
B: And most importantly, B.. They had an on-campus murder scene. They didn’t lock the place down. The murderer, on the loose, was free to: 1. Make numerous pictures and videos and diatribes. 2. Mail those out to NBC. 3. Aquire chains (remember, this is during a murder scene area) and lock down a building and shoot everyone in sight inside. 4. The worst of it all, the cops are seen ON VIDEO standing around outside, plump and moist, and not charging the place while shots are being fired and people inside are screeming and dying.
One can’t imagine my utter disgust at police in general after TWICE not going in to save students (this and Columbine).
"Aren't there any weight restrictions for rural Virginia police forces!?"
Sheesh, some boys had been hitting the barbeque. It is a wonder they could hoof it up the grassy knolls without passing out.
Too bad they couldn't have gotten the lead out and gotten in there somehow.
Where'd you see that? This would be news.
I have mentionned this on other threads but the police forces in the US need to change their policies and tactics when dealing with school shootings. The police in Montreal was forced to change everything following the School shootings at Polytechnique(14 females shot). An inquiry found that their tactics of securing the building and wait and see was totally inadequate and failed to protect the students(obviously). Anyway now the police in Montreal has a policy of charging the building and shooting on sight.
This proved extremely successful last fall when a gunman heavily armed entered Dawson College a downtown school(very crowded) at lunch time. The cops immediately ran in after the perp and shot him dead. Despite this extremely target rich environment there was only 1 victim,(girl shot at the entrance).
I don’t think the police forces in the US have really studied their tactics to deal with school shootings.They need to do so very quickly before the next carnage happens.
