No one can blame school administrators from being somewhat…err…well to pardon the expression, gun shy in the wake of the VT shooting. 

One of the dangers I blogged about earlier was the constant stream of experts all pointing to this or that as a warning sign of potential behavior so as to answer our burning need to know "why", and who is to blame:

As soon as the news of the massacre had really sunk in, I waited for what I knew would inevitably happen.

The Blaming.

So far, we have the Devil, violent video games, Guns, hedonism, Guns, Al Qeada, Guns and occasionally Guns.

To me the whole concept of "why" is an exercise in futility.  As much as anyone could explain this, only the killer can come close, assuming he actually knew what drove him, and he took that with him to whatever awaited him in the afterlife.  All we get are speculations, theories, allegations, accusations and the like.

Who just threatened my alma mater Skagit Valley College (and all the other schools the past week).

You really think your threat did anything more than simply bring out the friends of the school?

You really think your threats are going to scare people that much longer?

Guess what, I'm not afraid.  Nor are my fellow Cardinals.  And I'm going to offer the college administration an undisclosed amount next week to start a security fund as an alumnus.  Nice going, punk jihadi.

Read THIS, pal.

Yeah, the soldier doesn't know proper English but he's just a Corporal risking his life for our rights.  More man than me.

One soldier thinks so:

Soldier: Honor troops like Va. Tech dead

An Army sergeant complained in a rare opinion article that the U.S. flag flew at half-staff last week at the largest U.S. base in Afghanistan for those killed at Virginia Tech but the same honor is not given to fallen U.S. troops here and in Iraq.

In the article issued Monday by the public affairs office at Bagram military base north of Kabul, Sgt. Jim Wilt lamented that his comrades' deaths have become a mere blip on the TV screen, lacking the "shock factor" to be honored by the Stars and Stripes as the deaths at Virginia Tech were.

"I find it ironic that the flags were flown at half-staff for the young men and women who were killed at VT, yet it is never lowered for the death of a U.S. service member," Wilt wrote.
