Question: Should V-Tech Prez, Police Chief Be Fired?

Item: Parents demand firing of Virginia Tech president, police chief over poor handling of mass shooting/Fox News

More Info: Parents of a Virginia Tech student expressed outrage Monday at what they call an inadequate response by college brass to the worst mass-murder shooting in American history. John and Jennifer Shourds of Lovettsville, Va. demanded the immediate firings of University President Charles Steger and Virginia Tech Campus Police Chief W.R. Flinchum who he said "screwed up" the handling of separate shooting incidents that left 33 students dead, including the shooter. “My God, if someone shoots somebody there should be an immediate lockdown of the campus,” said John Shourds. “They totally blew it. The president blew it, campus police blew it.”

Question: Have you heard enough about the tragic massacre to form an opinion re: the police/university response?
