An Appropriate Response

Hincker further stated that university officials believe the evidence will show that Tech acted appropriately in response to the shootings. [More]
Yeah, besides, haven't we already established they implemented "a very sound policy"?

Just as there's no statute of limitations (expiration date) for a murder charge and trial, sovereign immunity of a state official should NOT apply -- ever -- when people die because of their policies. Especially when they continue those policies and ANOTHER death results. A knife attack and slaying a year later, witnessed by many helpless unarmed students.

I will be surprised if the fact that the university's free fire zone policy making every student on campus a potential victim is ever mentioned, in the courtroom, as a contributing factor.

I've emailed Va. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, whose office is reported to keep pushing for immunity for the officials who WARNED THEIR OWN CHILDREN who were Tech students (by cell phone, text and email) about Cho's first two murders earlier that morning and urged them to stay in a safe place, but left the other tens of thousands of students to take their chances. I'll share any response. I'm hoping it's Ken's predecessor they're talking about. Since he was the first state AG to sue the Obama administration over mandatory health insurance, I'd rather believe the reporter was just deliberately vague. They don't like his normally libertarian ways.
