We are innocent. There was nothing we could do. It was all the gun's fault. Don't blame us. Let's sing Kumbya, light candles and wear ribbons. Maybe we could write a new law making it even more illegal to kill people, or maybe trample some folks' civil liberties by exposing their mental health records and taking away some of their Constitutional rights.
But don't blame us for anything that happened. We're innocent. And we don't care that we arbitrarily take away from our students, faculty and staff the basic human right to self defense because, as everybody who ever watched the movie Zardoz knows, "The gun is evil."

Preliminary report: Tech violated federal law on crimes on campus
By Karin Kapsidelis
Published: May 18, 2010
A preliminary investigation of the Virginia Tech massacre has found the university in violation of a federal law requiring timely warning of crimes on campus.
The U.S. Department of Education notified Tech President Charles Steger that the university’s actions on the morning of April 16, 2007, were in violation of the Clery Act.
Tech was notified of the report on Jan. 21 but made it available today as the result of Freedom of Information requests by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and other media.
The university issued a 73-page response that strongly objects to the department’s preliminary conclusions.
