Shooting at Virginia Tech

[spook]

I can't understand how anyone can see 22 students in bodybags and think a call for gun control is "politicizing" anything.

yes, and of course the NRA will not be politicizing this within the next 24 hours either, will they.

and don't forget snowy, somebody will undoubtedly say that if one of those students had only been packing, this all could have been avoided.

maybe this is why so little gets done about various u.s. imperialist wars like iraq. we're too busy mourning the half million plus dead iraqis in quiet respect.

some folks on this board have a pretty twisted and self-serving sense of respect.

Hey fucking loser - go blab on the gun control thread. You really are a fucking loser.

while I'm spouting off on why to control guns in the padded room I figure I should mention that we should also start a thread for future rants about the 24 hour news cycle that, by late wed. will find a way to make even this extreme tragedy into a money-making franchise.

Right now lets send vibes to those injured who have a chance to survive.
Hopefully they can pull through.

[Voltron]

Shocking... Absolutely shocking...

[tromano]

[teosickrider]

[DisArray]

Hell was designed with people like this in mind.

Fuck you. Go to hell. Die.

[mc_roon]

2 hours apart? What the fuck was going on there?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++vibes

[smmokan]

^^^ I'd like to hear the reasoning behind this too. Taking the campus off lockdown before they had the shooter? Not so smart.

[Kevo]

Don't really understand the whole 2 hours apart thing- maybe in the commotion the shooter got away...

and really, how could they predict that 2 hours later the guy would walk into another building on the other side of campus?

Still, this is really fucked up. +++Vibes+++

[lionelhutz]

yea-- that's a very good question.
VA tech officals press conference right now.
ABCnews.com has a live video feed.

[Odin]

maybe......... WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION YET.

seems like its a great time to jump...... to conclusions!

It's insanity. Nobody expects it. Who could predict that because his girlfriend dumped him some guy will go on an insane murder rampage?

[rideit]

Insanity, yes....but a very, very 'american' manifestation.
This isn't even odd, anymore, sadly.

It is just part of our zeitgheist. Sad.

[Deep Days]

Holy shit. Not really anything else I can say other than positive vibes and prayers to all.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Shocking.

[GBB]

Thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

Then how come he ended up here?
