I think the saddest part is how the school neglected(or even new for that matter) to inform the students of the first shooting, leaving the assailant to prey on 30 more 2 hours later....

Its absolutely shocking at how something like this could happen, and what could have been done...





As for Jack Thompson well....he just keeps sinking lower and lower, a disgrace for a human being...

That's my thoughts zuiquan. I just hope campuses don't become like concetration camps a result, but something needs to be done. I know what you're saying Coca, but obvisouly, no matter what your inner problems are, nobody can be justified in mudrering 30 people.

Sadness for the poor bastards who were shot or who had someone shot, loathing for the shitbag who did it, and scorn for the cowards who are inevitably going to draw capital out of it.

We all know it's the fault of TV, guns, video games, etc. and the only way to stop it is to strip-search students when entering campus, do background checks and urine checks on everyone, and root out the subversives among us.

Or just be sad and get on with things.

Or the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia could reconsider this bill, and make us that qualify to carry concealed firearms feel more comfortable. We could also actually have a fighting chance at self-defense in such circumstances as these heinous violence sprees. But unfortunately just the opposite will likely happen, and once again more gun control imposed on my fellow Virginians.

Chances are the murderer had a legal gun, giving you teh ability to carry is a double edged sword.

Re: Thoughts on Virgina Tech
 

Oh great, I see where this is going.

Otherwise he just would have had legal fertilizer or legal gasoline or a legal humvee (how many traffic deaths per year compared to gun deaths?)

The temptation to blame something is just too strong to pass up, isn't it.

You make me feel so small!

Re: Thoughts on Virgina Tech
 

I agree, don't blame the gun, blame the person who did it. But let's try and stay away from that arguement.

The first thing I do when I wake up is check www.drudgereport.com to see what is going on in the world...I'll tell you now this is not what I was keen on waking up to...it truely sickens me....

Re: Thoughts on Virgina Tech
 

Drudge Report, Little Green Footballs, WorldNetDaily, Moveon, Huffington Post and sites like that, from whatever side of the uninformed, radical political spectrum with an issue, are _not_ exactly what you want to be checking for independent, unbiased news. And yes, I agree, let's stay away from that particular crock of an argument, it's bad mojo.

My work had ABC news on, so I saw this story about three times. The image that sticks out most in my mind is the guy in the brown patrolman jacket running around with his fancy AR-15, looking for Charlie in the treeline or somethin. I couldn't help but think, 'Where the fuck were you!?' I'll be damned if the fucker even SAW a cop before he blasted himself. You're telling me in the time it took him to hunt down and waste 30 people the cops couldn't find him? Bullshit. This is what pissed me off about Columbine too. The police could here the shots from the Cafeteria, could see the open fucking door! Yet not one of them, not one! Did anything but maintain the perimater. Not one of them had the fucking guts to risk their lives for fucking kids man. Not one. Isn't this their fucking job? Why they fucking joined? To protect? Fucking cowards. Some pudgy asshole in kevlar with a high tight hair cut and a fancy looking rifle ain't worth shit.
