the shooter is dead.
so there's nothing left for the public (politicians) to blame ... except for an inanimate object.
larry i have to agree with you in some respect - sudden violence like this catches people unprepared. and this thing started at 7:15 in the morning (like pearl harbor). shooter caught people when most vulnerable. so, you're not expecting to be shot at as soon as you get out of bed.
but ... there were two bomb threats called in before this shooting. i know, bomb threats are a dime a dozen but one after the other? at the very least the campus police should have been on a more diligent alert posture.
the thing that still bothers me (other than lawful CCW'ers were disarmed on campus) is the two hour lag between the first shooting, which killed 2 people, and the second shooting in which 33 others were killed (and just as many wounded). the same guy likely did both sets of shootings. what gives?
there is going to be an ugly lawsuit against VT ... i gawruntee it.
