why aren't we allowed to talk about the VT shooting?

That's all debatable. It's easy to say how difficult it is to do this and do that, but in reality that is their job. They locked down the campus fine during the first shooting when it was a prison escapee, how hard would it be to do it again? There was a two hour differential between the two shootings, and they never found the whereabouts of the first shooter in the first place. Anything is possible with the right motivation, and I'd think that having lives at stake would be the strongest motivation imaginable.

Would you feel comfortable keeping classes open after a shooting that occurred in the school that you were responsible for protecting? Especially when you haven't located the shooter? No fucking way. Sure, I don't know if anyone even knows if they're connected, but you've got to create control until you maintain control. I don't even work in law enforcement and that's a no brainer for me... that's a rookie level management decision. Even when I was managing construction, I encountered serious (but not anywhere on the same level of seriousness as today) situations and completely shut down my jobsite until I knew the danger was over. Irregardless, I had lives in my hands and recognized the danger... you'd think the police would know this better than anyone.
