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!

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.
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.

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:
Quote:
...to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer? Will you love her, honor her, comfort her, and keep her in sickness and in health; forsaking all others, be true to her until death do you part?

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.

Wow this is scary stuff. I just hope video games don't get blamed again for this tragedy.
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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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).

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.!

It pisses me off that the officials were saying that they couldnt confirm whether the two shooting incidents were related. Come on! A campus just happens to have 2 shootings the same day? WTF.

From what I hear now, death tolls are 33, including the gunman himself. The school's dorms supposidly automatically unlock at 7am to let anyone in, and lock again around 9 (I could have heard wrong, correct me if I'm wrong, VT students). That's how he got in.

Officials were saying that they didnt cancel classes or send students home because they thought the killings in the dorm (first killings) were a domestic dispute, an 'isolated incident' and they 'had no reason to believe that the murderer was still on campus'.

The thing that really confuses me is... really, how would they get a hold of students or professors to let them know this was happening? The school is getting all this shit for not notifying students properly. I certainly don't check my email before a morning class. I'd think that they'd have the ability to call each student in the dorms and let them know with a mechanical recording or something. Spike mentioned the buses, so I guess that was a good thing, but they could have posted Campus Safety at parking lots to tell other commuters to go home, rather than thinking that they would 'be safest in their classrooms'.

All this is what I've read and heard from CNN... the reporters just keep repeating everything over and over.

This whole situation is crazy... and heartbreaking.

Campus-wide email announcements are surprisingly effective. I don't know about VT, but at my university almost everyone checks their email before going to class. The few times that I've forgotten to check it and a class turned out to be cancelled there were only 1-2 other people at most who missed the announcement.
