In defense of the police and the university, they could not have imagined that a domestic dispute-style killing would turn into what unfolded. Its easy to just crush these guys but goddamn its just not preventable. If you don't know where he is at, what do you do other than search your ass off? Everything pointed to a guy killing the two and getting the hell outta dodge. Every tragedy is made worse when the media, and us as consumers of said media, rush to assign blame rather than comfort those who have to BURY THEIR KIDS this week. Kids man, its different when you have one of your own and you think about this shit. We watch reporters taking shots at the police and the administration and its like they are on trial, but it took the actions of a crazy motherfucker to put them in this position. Its a sad tragedy, but its sensationalized so much that the focus on what should be taking place in the aftermath is lost.

I meant she was from Rochester, NY.. going to school down there.
It was a joke...... Read a few pages back when Juggs was talking about how long it gets from building to building (which takes 10 mins) someone said it was because he tunneled underground.

Looking her up on facebook showed that she is from Annandale, VA. Can you link to your sources?
The problem is the shooter.
i havent heard that either...did he use the steam tunnels?? Holy hell that could explain the 2 hour difference...crawling around the steam tunnels.
edit: didn't realze this was a joke. However, for those of you that don't know VT has a series of steam tunnels that run all around (under) campus. It is possible that someone could use these to get around campus. Kids do it all of the time.

The more I read about this the more surreal it gets. I picture myself there and what if anything I would have done. I would like to picture myself as being superman and flying to the aid of others but when you really look at it would you, or just stand there. Regardless its stupid someone did this.
My bad, she had family up there...

Blacksburg, VA. - The shooting spree in the Virginia Tech campus has claimed 33 lives, including that of the shooter. Among the dead, a freshman with family in the Rochester area.

Yeah, which almost sounds possible when you take into account him being chinese. LOL watch a few days from now they find an elaborate underground tunnel.

read my edit. VT already has a series of intricate elaborate underground tunnels.
This conflicts with the information that the police had (and shared at the conf.) that the gunman was on the run, that they believed he was no longer on campus.
I would like to know the details on this information, maybe the info came from the person of interest? nothing adds up.

No, it's just George Bush who doesn't care about black people.
jomo, the shooter is the symptom of the problem. The problem is what created the shooter. Jack Thompson says it's video games. My girlfriend says it's society. I say it's probably people riding the elevator for less than 3 floors.
