virginia: I read on some websites that the victims families are suing Virginia Tech. Is this right or just... From my perception, Virginia Tech feels the same way they do... so it seems like they are just tryin to make money off thier misfortunes. What do you all think?|||True, some litigants just want to make money, however some want to make change. (See article link) Who is responsible? Do FERPA laws contribute to danger? Could legally armed citizen have stopped murders? Who contributed to the environment that caused, encouraged, exacerbated this incident? Should Cho have been forced to have medical/psyc care? Should he have been removed from campus? How much security is on campus? What is the nature of that security? Did the University have the "Duty" to protect the students? Who did have the duty to protect the individuals? Not all lawsuits are greedy. Some want to overturn dangerous policies.|||I agree with you, the school is no more at fault then I am and I live in NL, Canada. It isn't there fault a crazy person shot some people there. If it happend in the street, would they sue the street ? Blessed Be, Jane|||I agree with you. we seem to be in a culture that says that if harm comes to you, you should be rewarded with money. Bad things are going to happen in our life. No agency, university or other institution can keep us safe at all times. We take chances everytime we leave the house.|||I don't think it's right the VT should be blamed for this. As unfortunate as it is, Virginia Tech DID try to circumvent the situation. When they found out how mentally unstable that loser was, they were actually gonna have him removed from the school, but fearing litigation from special interest groups like the ACLU and others, they feared the bad press and the lawsuits that would have come with so they aired on the side of discretion which was a bad gamble. I think the ones who should be sued are the special interest groups who are looking to make a name for themselves and without their interference,this tragedy may not have happened. Groups like the NRA and the ACLU are to be blamed|||Any time that anything bad happens those involved want to sue someone to get money. They may say it's to hold that person or place responsible, but no, it's not. They get dollar signs in their eyes. It's ridiculous and they should be ashamed, all they are doing is using the tragedy to try and get rich. They are diminishing the deaths of the people who got killed and using it as a get rich quick scheme.|||They should be filing lawsuits against the police who didn't do anything for two hours after the shooting. Let that person, pay for the rest of his life, with 33 families to feed.|||Now that's uncalled for. In their sorrow for their lost of their loved ones,they can let it rest. V.T. had no control over Fate, Circumstances. The love of the money is the root of all evil.|||I think it's ridiculous. It's a freak accident that could have happened anywhere anytime.|||There definitely needs to be a serious inquiry on everything that happened on that tragic day. Many people across the nation still have perplexing questions on this extremely sensitive matter. There were some signs of trouble from earlier reports. How does this school address red flag situations on their campus? There are a lot of unanswered questions. I wish all the best for those grieving families and the VT Administrative governing board. May God be with you.
