There were no reasons to think he might go on a rampage, and plenty of reasons to think that it may have been isolated and worth investigating and dealing with through normal channels.

We're very impressed how much more intelligent you are now than the VT President was at 8am this morning, but the fact that you have knowledge he didn't is making you see things from a different perspective.

I will reiterate, it's not rational to shut down the activities of 30,000 people for a day due to 1 death and 1 injury."
