<p>"A gunman massacred 32 people at Virginia Tech in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history Monday, cutting down his victims in two attacks two hours and a half-mile apart before the university could figure out what was going on and get the warning out to students." I am so sorry.</p>

<p>Put a fork in the VT President. </p>

<p>He's gone. </p>

<p>He had a chance to close off all entry into the campus and make some choices -- even if they seemed like they would prevent against an unlikely scenario of a repeated shooting event -- but he decided it might seem like an overreaction to what was quite possibly a murder-suicide.</p>

<p>He took a chance. The odds were actually in his favor. What happened was unprecedented. But sometimes the lottery numbers get drawn and it's your number, despite the improbability of it happening. He just won his lottery and a ticket out the door.</p>

<p>The fact that VT is a state school and politicians will be trying to make a play...sorting out the insanity and trying to make sense of lunacy...it will be the decision making of the VT President that will (well, it already has) become the overheating friction point.</p>

<p>Right now, there's a lot of anger and a lot of rage...and no living perpetrator to direct it at. So he's the next best thing. </p>

<p>I happen to believe that his best hope for survival is to do the best possible thing for the VT and Blacksburg community by showing great leadership in bringing the community to a place of conciliation and healing and drawing them together in the spirit of forgiveness which will be the only thing that will liberate the community (and him) from the rage and pain. But I assume he's an engineer by training, so that's a pretty tall order.</p>

<p>I agree D'yer. Hindsight is 20-20. It sure does bring to light the problems of communicating on such a large campus. A tragedy of unimagineable proportions. America's hearts are with everyone there.</p>

<p>He's actually an architect. About the same as an enginner, though. </p>

<p>I was crying when I watched this segment on TV about it. It was so sad ... the newscaster was talking about the people who died and what made them special, and then their brothers and Ryan Clark's (second one murdered) twin brother came on and I felt terrible. It was so sad.</p>

<p>It's just awful.</p>
