Heh... as soon as you said '62, I knew what you were linking. By "no precedent", I mean there's nothing like it that's happened before. The only similarity between this and Whitman back in '62 is the setting, and the nutbar factor.
Uh...Whitman murdered his mother and his wife before he went to the clock tower, another simularity. Also: increasing behavior problems in both the Marines and college; eh...it's all there in the link if you choose to read it.

"...he never made a specific threat to harm himself or others." <- You hit the nail on the head, right there. Like I said... hindsight and ass-coverage...
No, it is NOT 20/20 hindsight, nor is it CYA. That is the freakin' law. I thought I made that clear near the end of my post. Did you read beyond "1962" ?
