The protest a few days later by some Blacksburg High School students in support of the Indian mascot disturbed one senior (Colin Ward) who said it was unproductive and poorly organized. He also was concerned that "What happened was not a protest, it was an administration-sponsored day during which anyone could skip any class they wished and suffer no repercussions. The precedent that the administration set not only says that it is OK to skip whenever you want, but gives the impression that any rules of the school can be broken at will. This is not going to be good for the upcoming classes, or for the image of the school in the state, and this is a shame."

"Hindsight is always 20/20."

lawyer says Bonnie Bakely had run cons where she would bilk old men out
of their money. And Blake carried the gun to protect her from
retribution.

"When he sat down he had the gun in his waistband. He sat it in the seat
and put his sweatshirt over the seat. And when he left, he just forgot."

get the gun. He says when he came back, his wife had been shot once in
the head. That's when he ran to this man's house ..hysterical.
