Yep. Very bad things happen. I heard a security analyst say that this is the reason cops are supposed to be trained in procedures. Unlike the rest of us who probably go into a learned-helplessness-shock-fear-deer-in-the-headlights condition, they should not think but follow procedure. They had two solid hours yesterday so I'm curious as to see who did what and who did nothing. I wonder where the heck the shooter was for those two hours since, I remember hearing, that the two buildings were about 5 minutes apart. The analyst said the police should have followed procedure which says, if you do not have the shooter in custody, you assume he's out and about. At any rate, if you have a homicide on campus wouldn't it make sense to cancel classes for the morning? It doesn't make sense so I'm curious to see what the heck they were thinking...if anything. I remember hearing a long time ago about a guy taking a bucket of fuel or gasoline onto a bus, lighting it and burning everyone in the bus. Guns or planes or gasoline, we can't get rid of all the tools of homicide or suicide but we can certainly address the root causes. At any rate, it's unbelievable that Bush shows up immediately in Virginia while refusing to go to any military funerals. I'm not sure how being dead in Virginia or being dead in Iraq makes that much difference to the family. I heard he received a rather chilly reception anyway.
