Cho Seung-hui, armed with two semi-automatic pistols goes on a murderous rampage, on the campus of virginia Tech University, killing 32 United states subject/enemy/citizens. Cho first killed two students in his dormitory, and then—two hours later—killed another 30. vTU, as most other universities and colleges in the nation, is a “gun-free zone,” (a statutorily mandated area where there will not be enough people carrying guns to neutralize the efforts of a deranged person on a homicidal rampage).
NOTES:
- Five years previous, Peter Odighizuwa) who had just murdered three people at Appalachian School of Law (also in virginia) and was in the process of shooting more) when he was disarmed and placed under citizen’s arrest by two armed students.
- Fifteen months before, the virginia legislature defeated an attempt to legalize the carrying of side arms on college campuses by properly licensed students, faculty and staff. At the time Larry Hincker, a spokesman for virginia Tech University, applauded the defeat of the bill saying, “I’m sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly’s actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors fell safe on our campus.”
Question: How safe do they feel now?
