That Columbine step-father was Daniel Rorhbaugh (sorry, I know I mangled the spelling) step-dad. He said Danny laid on that sidewalk for 27 hours! Even tho his mother asked for him to be moved, even to do it themselves, the cops said no. Danny's family found out that he was dead when they saw his picture (him on the sidewalk) in the next day's newspaper.

And now I see VT is not planning to release any names till tomorrow. If I were a parent of a student there, I'd be camping in the admin office.

Man, can this Presser get anymore CYA? "Where do you lock them down?" Well, hey, how about radio, IM, etc....when the event happened? Not 2 hours later????

“He said Danny laid on that sidewalk for 27 hours!”
I heard him say that, too, but I can’t understand it.. I remember Columbine, but not that. How can that be?

Concern for the dead and injured is always the primary concern as well as apprehension of the criminals involved.

Then the blame game starts for would-have, could-have and should-have.

Along with that is the write new law crowd in the media looking to blame politicians and the politicians looking for events that support their pet peeve or that serve as little more than promotion vehicles for their recognition.

With those issues aside, the e-mail issued in a timely manner was terribly underwrittten in its warnings if murder on campus had occured and a killer was at-large. The functionary that composed it or the one that sent it system-wide will be pilloried. Goes with the turf.
