Could someone post a link to that cell phone video?

I believe this is a bit different. The residential dorms are a 10 minute walk from the academic side of campus. Our president is making it seem like the campus is this huge city-like area. While it is a big campus, it's not so big that you're going to be completely safe from an incident if you're on the other side (as we saw today). Also, the difference between your hometown and Virginia Tech is that the administration has everyone's e-mail (students and faculty). The main issue isn't that they failed to lock down the campus (even though they should have done just that), they failed to NOTIFY us until two hours later. Students and faculty knew NOTHING of the incident even though the police had no idea where the suspect was.

I mean no offense to those I'm debating with, but please understand my anger because I was heading for the building where the shooting took place. I also had friends on the 3rd floor of that building (shooting was on the second floor). I really think they should have warned us early.

My condolences to everyone involved in this horrific event.

Strangely, I was reading about school shootings only a day or two ago, so this came as quite a shock to me. Then again, these shootings are unfortunately such frequent occurrences. The phone footage is emotive, to say the least.

This is fucked up. This shit pisses me off to no end. It's not because some retard asshole like Jack Thompson will start blaming video games even though there's a huge chance (make that 99.9%) that video games didn't inspire or "train" this asshole to go out on his killing spree. It's because they almost always end up killing themselves.

The motherfucker should have offed himself instead of killing everyone who had nothing to do with his sad pathetic excuse of a life.

I heard he was on CNN earlier saying this same shit. This doesn't surprise me one bit that he'd pull this shit. I bet he blamed video games for that Amish school shooting and that other one in Canada... Oh wait, he doesn't give a fuck about Canada!

Jaysus, so it begins

When you put it that way I guess it's easy to see where you're coming from but then I have to reiterate RR's point: They couldn't have predicted that he'd come back for second helpings and probably didn't want to send the entire campus into a panic if there was no need for it.

But then again... Widespread panic is exactly what happened. This is just a horrible situation for all involved. I don't even want to THINK about what I'd do if I were in Steger's shoes. :/

Looks like no one has the Thompson interview posted yet; not even Fox News. I'd like to see just how much of an ass he made out of himself, though it would be a nice blow to whatever's left of his dignity if he doesn't even make it onto YouTube.

Yeah, about that Thompson interview... I still think it's all hearsay until I see a transcript or hear him say it himself. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to dip that fucking scam opportunist in boiling oil but I'd like to at least get a reliable confirmation of his belligerence before (rightfully) accusing him.

Geez, he sure loves the Mosin Nagant. I wonder why he didnt bring any of those to school. I'm just curious.

Oh fuck me that's classic! Look at all those rifles! I also love how he has the inscription the night before with the wedding vows:

I do~

Also one of his groups on that facebook pic is

4th Floor West AJ.

Drat kid.

Seems like the guy went through a recent breakup from what his livejournal says.

Well, if that's him it's a fucked up tragedy. But from what I can tell he loved Ann Coulter, was vehemently opposed to Muslim terrorists and by GOD did he love his girlfriend. This motherfucker needed a lobotomy not a gun license.

If that's why he did this shit, then he's an even bigger pussy retard. Eh, he's already a stupid pussy retard for killing innocent people. Fuck this guy.

Does that really fucking matter right now? It just seems to me that having to show your ID to buy Doom 9 is a pretty insignificant reason to bitch right now. It's a shame that people die, and your first concern is whether or not your Halo 3 is gonna hit store shelves on time.

This is tragic, and I was watching it unfold on CNN's website and it seemed like the death toll shot up everytime the page was refreshed. It's terrible that things like this happen, and it's painful to think that so many lives have been turned upside down in such a short time.

Okay. I can see where you're coming from AkirA, however, as we have seen in some other places this evening, our favorite senator has already attacked this issue and has blamed vidya games. Again, I can see where you're coming from and I do agree, now isn't a time to be complaining about games coming out on time because of this tragedy, but I tend to also disagree that that was the poster's intention.

Just so you guys know, it has been verified that Facebook guy isn't the shooter. He made a post today about how many hits his page got (and how great his AdSense revenue will be this month) before taking down the post (breaking AdSense rules and all).

Way to ruin it Bluemikey. :argh:

Don't find an Asian to shoot the messenger!

You know... I read through that kids entries and it's all this pseudo-intellectual, holier-than-thou rantings about love and existentialism and his girlfriend (who was a somewhat attractive Asian girl) reaping the wind of his vengeance.

I don't think I need to spell this out for you guys, but if you live close to Yama or go to school with him and you suspect he's a gun-nut, you better save your schoolmates/neighbors/loved ones by reporting him to the proper authorities a.s.-fucking-a.p.!
