    You should watch more movies about heterosexuals - might learn something.

    If I heard gunshots ring out like a bell, I'd grab my nine. All you'd hear be shells

    It's hard to lock down ANY sprawling university, whether it's in the middle of Richmond or in the middle of Blacksburg. I just think it's a bit of a double standard that people were outraged that the VT administration didn't lock down the university when a gunman robbed a real estate office in Radford and was reported heading west on a major highway that just happened to run PAST Blacksburg, yet gunplay is involved regularly on or near the VCU campus, but no one bats an eye.

    Off soapbox now.

    If it occurred down by Bull & Bones it would not be reported as AT VT.

    Remember the "Choose Your ACC Team" flow chart? The "Yes" response to the question "Have you ever been mugged on campus" should have been "VCU is not in the ACC."

    sure enough...imagine how many armed robberies happen in and around the Georgia Tech campus. My daughter has managed commercial real estate in Metro Atl. for a while and used to have the huge student housing comples just down the road on that side of the train yard. She knows what really goes on in that sector and it would scare the poop out of me sending a child to that school.

    Why not? The last time the perp's stolen car was found near the hospital and they said it AT VT.
