What are your thoughts about the shootings in Blacksburg?

Has your school done anything since the shootings?

My school hasn't done a thing, but what could they do? I don't know about other universities but they have a whole police force devoted to keeping watch on everybody at Tulane.

I'm aware of the possibility of copycat attacks, but I'm a little paranoid to begin with.

Not living in the U.S but yeah even in Canada there are slight concerns.
For the short term though I'm just concerned about how this whole thing is being portrayed in the media.
This killer is becoming a "celebrity" and the more exposure this insane creature gets posthumously the more it raises the chances of copy-cat attacks.
I'm sure there will be like-minded sick individuals out there who will sympathize or worship this killer after the way the media is portraying his "dark, mysterious, perfect stranger" aura.
