I could not believe what I read about Charles Steger's response to the independent panel report that faulted him and the Virginia Tech administration for not acting quickly enough to protect students after shooting began on campus on April 16th. In an apathetic and weak statement, Steger said, "No plausible scenario was made for how this horror could have been prevented once he began that morning." ("he" is Seung-Hui Cho - the killer)
"No Plausible Scenario"??? Really? How about this scenario - immediate notification of the entire campus that a shooting has occurred on campus, where it has occurred and any known information about the shooter? That sounds like a "plausible scenario" to me.
Steger's response to the panel's report is enough reason to demand his resignation. He has proven himself to be callous, irresponsible, and incapable to facing the truth. I say to the families of the victims, "Keep Shouting! Do not let your voices be silent until Steger and the Virginia Tech police chief are out of office."
