    Its true. Some of these egg heads are truly insufferable but it seems the norm now. With so many having so much to say about the Duke case, and the incident where the employee got railroaded for the Olympics bombing They're so smart they don't need facts it seems.

    I have to say that I think Law Enforcement has to take some blame here. After you arrive at a double murder scene where you have no idea what happened the president of the college should have become a spectator and they should have taken control and secured the area. Nobody out and nobody in and police everywhere searching anyone in sight and securing them as well. If this was done 3o kids may have been alive.

    The world would be a much more dangerous place if not for the stupidity of most criminals. :)
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.

    Cho mailed a package to NBC News, which they received today, containing a letter and videos.
