That is totally unfair. I’ve been amazed at the criticism I’ve seen directed at these students. Have you been in a college classroom lately? If VT is anything like the classrooms I attended in college—and I went to a sister school in VA—we sat at desks in rows. These desks are awkward enough to get into and out of without a gunmen in front shooting at you. There was construction going on that can sound enough like a machine gun to confuse anyone not expecting to be looking at the face of killer. These kids didn’t have enough time to think about the police saving them. Get real!

I agree. Not to mention the fact that Cho hit the front row first, probably creating a mess of chairs, desks and (I apologize) bodies that would have been impossible for anyone to get over in time to charge him effectively.

Not really.
He entered several classrooms.
You can’t tell me no one heard the shots from the hallway and the first classroom.

Reality sucks but it is what it is.

I agree with you. And those who tried to resist were gunned down.

Too much blame has already been placed on everyone other than the gunman. Why not blame whoever decided to admit this family into this country when already the killer at a young age showed weird tendencies?
