[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2012724, member: 1294"] It wasn't a "legal loophole" that allowed the Colorado shooting, some would contend it was malpractice or protecting the University like in so many other cases of tragedy... "Dr. Lynn Fenton, a University of Colorado psychiatrist treating Holmes, called a university police officer and said she was concerned because [B]Holmes had been talking about killing "a lot of people."[/B] Sources say that Fenton asked the officer to run a background check, which revealed that Holmes had no criminal record. In a second call, the officer asked Dr. Fenton if she wanted Holmes to be detained for a 72-hour mental health evaluation. Fenton said Holmes had given notice that he was withdrawing from the university, so that wouldn't be necessary."
