I was just reading about this in today's USA Today - a number of campuses have gone to this type of system. the article made the point that cellphones are so 'connected' to our person, that it's a quick way to get the information to those who've signed up for this program. While more and more campuses become centers of constant connect (via email and having computers in class with the students), the cell phone seems to be a better way to go. I've taken my computer with to class for graduate school, but for the times I can't get into my email, I believe that I would definitely get the message on my cell phone a lot quicker.

Every one has a better idea and if you were not there and have been in Law Enforcement then you do not really do not know what it was like!

It was a sad thing that happened and the Police or the college could not do anything about it!

Look at the statistics!

Get real and see the real life of events of what happened and what was involved!

Never rush to judgements if you do not mind!

A statement from NBC News: "NBC received a communication from Cho Seung-Hui, the man identified by police as the Virginia Tech shooter, via the US Mail this morning and immediately turned it over to the authorities. The package included images, videos and writings, and appears to have been mailed between the two shootings. We are cooperating fully with the authorities."
