Funny how some people here will instantly rush to the defense of Authority.

I don't necessarily understand what you are trying to say here.

Anyways, no, VT is a rather large school, nearly 30k individuals. Shutting the whole school down would be as possible as shutting my whole town down (30k) for a double murder.

Blame for what?

Cho is to blame for killing the folks on the VA Tech campus.

VA Tech needs to address their own response to what happened - but that is very different than saying they are to blame for the slaugther. If it was one of my kids that gunned down, I'm sure I'd want a very lengthy explaination of why the situation was addressed as it was.

Yes, but the thing is, a double homicide would have tied up most "small town" police departments, whether it be a college or my town. My town, plant city, is approximately the same size as VT and I'd imagine if a double murder occured on one side of town, no one, and I repeat no one would expect the killer(s) to go across town and shoot up a grocery store/shopping plaza, etc. This is just one of those extraordinary events that no real good answer can solve.
