There is nothing intrinsic, of course, to Blacksburg that makes it a magnet for violent rampages. The sad thing is, the vulnerability is everywhere. I recommend reading a book called “Violence” by James Gilligan to better understand the reasons we live in a society awash in testosterone-fueled mayhem.
