Steger, and its police chief, Wendell Flinchum. The petition’s anonymous organizers say they will deliver printed copies Friday to the university’s Board of Visitors and to Gov. Timothy M. Kaine. The petition’s text says signers “fully support the decisions made and the actions taken” by Mr. Steger and Mr. Flinchum after the shootings at Virginia Tech, adding that the two men “have borne the brunt of unwarranted criticism by members of the media.” Mr. Steger told students he was “overwhelmed by the support” he had received, the Associated Press reported. “It is amazing,” he said, “how strong and how resilient the Hokie nation is.” —Lawrence Biemiller Posted on Wednesday April 25, 2007 | Permalink |Comments

Hindsight is always 20/20. This man, who callously murdered the students and teachers of Virginia Tech, would have found a way, any way to fufill his horrific plan. He had a mission because he killed himself- he planned the end for himself and for the others. Please support the leaders of the University and community.
