Why isn't this interview being replayed?

The interview HAS been replayed. Why don't you try turning off Fox and turning on MSNBC?

Trey Perkins was the second student interviewed by MSNBC. He helped the first student, Derrick O'Dell, barricade the classroom at Norris Hall before the shooter tried to reenter. The shooter then shot through the door. O'Dell was shot in the arm. In his interview, he did identify the shooter as a college aged Asian male wearing a maroon cap and a black leather jacket.

You can hear the interview with O'Dell here:

This link was provided way up thread. More than three hours ago, I gave the details from this interview at post 960-something.

Putting a school the size of Virginia Tech into “lockdown” isn’t that easy. 25,000+ students, thousands of which are commuting in from off-campus, a couple of hundred buildings, and easy wide-open access from dozens of points around Blacksburg. How do you lock that down?

You're right .. this isn't a small high school campus

2 dead in first shooting. 31 dead in second shooting.

I'm really leaning towards the probability of a second shooter.

That was one smart girl to feign death.

You get fingerprinted when you apply for a CCW, to get a security clearance, to get bonded, when you are arrested, etc.

No, the gunman is at fault. His family and friends are at fault.

Quote “press room sounds exasperated at the gross incompetence of these officials”

I would agree with that after hearing some of the answers coming from these guys.

I just heard Katie. I will give her credit, she asked an intelligent and non-accusatory question.

“Lady on FNC is already blaming V Tech.”

Stepfather of a Columbine student victim said that if VTech had security personnel present, this would not have happened. I wonder if he knows that a university isn’t the size of a high school. Oh dear, a reporter just asked the same question during the ongoing news conference at VTech.

The rules of civilization should NOT be dumbed down for the biggest morons. THAT is a hallmark of socialist thought.
= = =

INDEED.

But with the globalist numbing, dumbing down of the whole culture and populace for 50-60 years . . . it takes some extra alertness to just survive average stupidity these days.

Yeah, I thought of that after I posted. She could have been his girlfriend in his mind only (crazy stalker) or the girlfriend angle is a totally bogus rumor.

Yea, the killer on the loose for hours without warning anyone is . . . more than a LOT troubling.

Seems to me someone’s job should be had over that one.

He would have to wait hours for the classes to start...minimize hallway traffic...chain doors.

If you're going to go to the trouble to create a diversion a half mile away at Ambler Johnston Hall so that security would be minimum at Norris Hall, you'd want to make sure the classrooms were full and nobody walking the halls.

VT President says they thought the gunman may have left the campus, or even the state, after the first shooting.

First two victims shot in a dorm room.

I was stunned by the campus police officers comments myself.
