Virginia Tech shooting

[Bijo]

The Secret Service, at least the protective detail, spends a lot of time studying whack-job shooters. They are tasked with preventing such killings in the case of our key political executives. They keep working to develop profiles, insights -- anything that will let them learn how they can maybe stop such an attack on their charges.

Incidents like Squeaky Fromme must cost those folks a lot of sleep.

Eh-- Seamus, it was me you quoted, not Rory (as you wrote him as quoted above it).

Nevertheless....
The point made in that .PDF was that most of these kids carefully plan these attacks with some motive and purpose in mind, ruthlessly cold and efficiently acted out. It doesn't necessarily have to be about wackos killing people.

But if the Secret Service is tasked with security detail in the case of key political figures, why study these "kids who do shootings at an education facility?" Still sounds suspicious.

And also suspicious in the current case is the fact that there were already people killed, and nothing happened. VERY SUSPICIOUS.

And you know what's also suspicious? When I checked the news it was as if those interviewed -- students -- hardly felt a thing, even though it was on their place, or when they were close to it, etc. They were so calm (and almost logical) about it.

In any case, I'm curious as to what caused the supposed Asian suspect to hit the place. We need the hard facts, and we need them now.
