i'm still trying to piece together what the school knew 'officially' i do know that a professor threatened to resign unless he was removed... he was on the record as to stalking (though charges were not filed) students had complained about him creating an atmosphere of intimidation and fear because of liability concerns they may have been overly cautious about requesting he leave the school... none of this however, has anything to do with the horrendous 2 hour gap and insufficient warning to the students once the first two murders were committed and the killer's whereabouts was unknown

>>Many of our homeless people are mentally ill.<< Several decades ago there was a big liberal push to move people out of mental homes and back into the community. With this tragedy, maybe we'll swing back toward locking more people up. We have the added problem in Alaska of a recent TB epidemic among our homeless. These people should be institutionalized for treatment, but our politicians are dithering.

"he was committed to a mental institution for awhile." doubt being sent to mental institution is serious enough to isolate a person , however the danger to others certainly would seem like something that should require some type of public/private action until ,,"danger to others" could be removed from a doctor diagnosis. His roommate never knew about his mental problems other than the kid being strange. Like he said in an interview last night, he was more upset over leaving his girl friend in his room with this nut while he went to class because the college never told him about any problems in his personality. You would think the college would have a responsibility to limit potential danger, like not assign a roommate since they cannot advise others of his medical problems. We now know of one mental person with diagnosis "danger to himself or others", i wonder how many on this campus and all college campuses are walking around with same diagnosis?
