<p>I think the first case JHS mentioned is the murder of Bonnie Garland by Richard Herrin, back in '77. (Which happened in Scarsdale, NY…an otherwise idyllic stretch of suburbia)</p>
<p>It just seems to me that even with things like the Virginia Tech shooting, there’s not an actual need for some proactive ‘healthy’ fear on a college campus - Those things are horrific to us precisely because they are unexpected; the random work of crazy people, as opposed to orchestrated criminal activity, terrorism, etc, etc.</p>
