The University of Idaho is offering remote classes for the rest of the semester after students refused to come back to campus following the brutal murders of four peers.
President Scott Green announced on Wednesday that the school 'hears' the students concerns and will be offering remote and in-person classes to all students for the rest of the semester.
'We have heard from students with varied needs [and] some are not comfortable being back in Moscow until a suspect is in custody. Others are asking for in-person classes and the structure that life on campus brings,' Green said.

I can’t say I blame them. If I had a kid in that school they would be home. It’s impossible to know what the police are investigating because they’re not saying. I don’t blame them either. There is no entitlement for the press to know anything that would compromise their investigation. Horrible crime and my heart breaks for the families of the victims.

I don't blame them. No kid of mine would be going back there. Were it that we had an FBI that actually DID IT'S JOB!! And this kind of work is indeed their job as we have seen many times before.

The powers that be are probably at their wits end trying to figure out how to blame this on guns. But yes , my kid would be home also.

The college kids who own guns or have roommates who own them probably arent near as concerned.

Maybe the two on the first floor had their doors locked and the others didn't. I couldn't tell from the article.

As they say, you never "need" a gun...until you need one badly. Maybe they'd still be alive.
As for me and my house, don't even think about it.

Between the Keystone Kops and the federal Bureau of Intimidation, I think those students will have to find a new school.

And they'll just wait for death in their rooms?

If you go out and get drunk, take suggestive pictures, and don't lock your door, you are putting yourself at risk. Sounds like this was a raging party house to crash at, get smashed and who knows what went on. You will not be safe anywhere.

If the university can’t keep, or make their students safe, then why are they going to and spending tens of thousands for the "honor"?
Going to college in fits and starts because everyone else I knew was, is one of the biggest mistakes I made in my life.
I should’ve picked a trade and go on to learn that.
Hard work has made up for some of these deficiencies of wisdom when I was in my late teens/early twenties, and except for a couple of years have remained gainfully employed in various capacities at various industries since.
At the moment I’m 61, walking up to ten miles a day at my job, and aside from some aches and pains in relatively excellent health so I have no complaints.
However if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t even consider a four year university education.
Twelve years of schooling was enough for me.

Even if they catch this/these perps I’m sure there is someone out there planning the next one......probably right there.

This is a far better reason for remote learning than covid was!

I wonder if this will be solved. Let me know if there are mistakes in what I am saying. I thought there were people in the house having a party. The gals on the first floor must have locked their doors. The others were attacked in their sleep. I also heard that more than the two roommates were there when the 911 call was made. This means a lot of people were in that house and could have contaminated the crime scene. I heard a policeman on the news say that there might be DNA evidence on the person that fought back but there is no match in any governmental database. From the limited information that has been released, I think this will be a hard case to solve. The investigators know more than they are saying but they have to keep some of this confidential as not to tip off the killer.

What struck me as really odd about this is how the police keep saying there is nothing for the general population to fear in this case, implying strongly that they have sufficient evidence to indicate this was a targeted crime. I wouldn't find that at all reassuring given how brutally those 4 young students were butchered. I get that the police don't want to tip off the killer(s) by giving out specifics but their total lack of information is not only unsettling to the general public but could in fact lead to incidents where some people get too jumpy and end up blowing off family members wandering around the house at night.

If you think that a locked bedroom door will keep out an intruder, you are one kick or a shoulder push away from death. There are shootings every day in every major city in this country but one knife murder keeps hundreds of students quaking in their boots.
I'm with #10, four years in the military taught me that I didn't want to spend another four years in a classroom staring out the window while somebody in a back office typed up a fancy piece of parchment that told the world I had been sitting there. A six month computer programming technical school and the reading of hundreds of books that I selected led to a busy and rewarding career in IT management and years of a six-figure salary. College is okay for some but if these students let the thought of being scared by some nut case keep them at home in mommy's basement it must not be all that valuable to them. The guy is probably four states away keeping watch on some other apartment building. My sympathies to the families of those beautiful girls.

I bet the college bans on campus open carry.

Wimps. Many of the more conservative states, including Kansas, allow honest citizens to be armed on college campuses. Let this thug bring his knife to a gunfight and see how it goes.

What is this? “My KID would be home instead”. “I wouldn't send my KID there.”
If they’re 18 or 19, they’re not kids. They’re young adults. If you treat them like kids, they’ll act like kids. Teach them to be responsible and safe, and take care of themselves, and you won’t have to worry so much.
And before anyone says “he must not be a parent if he thinks like that...” I raised my two children to be independent and self-sufficient. And, I sent them to college. They’re gainfully employed with houses and spouses. And their own guns.
