Mel Marsh,

Are you worried about imminent danger laws being
compromised in the wake of Virginia Tech?

No, why would I worry about such a thing?

Because of the backlash in the media
about how Cho did not meet the requirements
for imminent danger: he did not make a direct
threat to anyone.

Some people have been talking about making it
easier to commit somone. Most people pass outpatient commitment laws
that do not require imminent danger because of the myth
that most mentally ill or disabled people are violent
dispite O Connor vs Donaldson.
