The police were busy interviewing someone they thought was connected to the shooter as he was leaving campus. They locked-down campus, but spent two hours interviewing the guy and treating it as a domestic homicide.
The Blacksburg police and, in turn, Va Tech, failed to notify the students that there had been a double murder on campus that day. Virtually no faculty or students knew about the events earlier in the morning until Seung-Hui opened fire once again some two hours later.
And this is the primary point of negligence and grounds for civil suits from the families of the slain victims. Coupled with the new details about the warning signs Seung-Hui exhibited, the case for criminal negligence grows all that much stronger.
Humans do not learn in most cases unless they are forced to pay for their mistakes.
Justice should be served.
Some may think this might prove contradictory to the healing process of a grieving campus community.
To those people:
You're living in a world of make-believe with flowers and bells and leprechauns and magic frogs with funny little hats.
