Sketch Soland Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Smoking Gun has a copy of one of the English Major's stories. It is, predictably, insane. Link I question whether that's legit, but at any rate, it certainly doesn't stretch the imagination to think this guy wrote it....
DC Tom Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Not sure about waxman blaming the NRA, but the Euro Press cut right to the chase and are blaming Moses Himself Whatever And the NRA says: We will not have further comment until all the facts are known. Which, frankly, is the most responsible thing anyone has said so far.
Sketch Soland Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Which, frankly, is the most responsible thing anyone has said so far. Quite true. But they're doing it more out of political necessity than ingrained rational principle, though, methinks...
X. Benedict Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I think he may have had issues. Just guessing. Interesting character development: ex-football player, over the hills taxi driver, one time trucker, pedophile, murdering, burger-flipper named Dick.
DC Tom Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Quite true. But they're doing it more out of political necessity than ingrained rational principle, though, methinks... Like Darin, I choose to reward progress. (No, I didn't type that with a straight face.)
meazza Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 And we had two kids die from the local school in a car accident yesterday. Should the whole world stop and grieve them too? Why did they die, couldn't we have been seatbelts, airbags, etc... People die, you move on, it's part of the world. The media does suck because for these 32 people yesterday, another 100,000 died in car accidents, plane crashes, heart attacks, cancer, abortions, etc.... yesterday. Why don't we focus on them and their family grief. Because it isn't fantastic, it doesn't help the media and the political statement they want to make. Yeah it's said they died, but a lot of other people died yesterday. And their families are grieving no less. Generally the reason most people focus their attention on these type of events is because schools are where parents send their children to learn and be safe. Of course that is ideal, bad things can happen anywhere, but it just seems as if this sort of "taking revenge on former schoolmates" is becoming more and more popular. It's happened 3 times in my city alone, and already today, some kid brought a fake gun to school just so he could scare everyone and get attention.

meazza Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Fake gun laws are too lax, obviously... You're totally right. I say 2 or 3 years in jail just for bringing a fake gun to school. If you're going to threaten peoples lives, at least do it properly.
Ramius Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 FSU has just asked everyone to login to the private secure apps and ad a cell phone number to your personal info, so they can send a mass text message to the entire student body "in case of emergency".
ofiba Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 check out this wacky 10 page play supposedly written by the killer.
Just Jack Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Don't worry, Al. Someone will say "!@#$' soon enough and you'll be back in the spotlight again. I think you meant 'nagger'.
Dr. K Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 The German teacher who was killed in front of his class before the gunman turned on the students was Jamie Bishop, the son of Michael Bishohp, a friend of mine. Jamie used to live in Chapel Hill and I saw something of him then. I have known his father for twenty-five years. Michael Bishop is a pretty well known science fiction writer, author of Brittle Innings and No Enemy But Time, among many others. Jamie was a wonderful guy, very creative, funny, personable. He did a lot of interesting phtography-based computer art when he wasn't teaching, including the cover to the collection Gunning for the Buddha, by Michael Jasper (the title sems bitterly ironic now). Given the losses so many have suffered, I can't bring myself to get into debating gun control or lockdowns or whose fault it is. I just know that too many good people died. As the writer Chinua Achebe says, "The world is not well arranged."
Alaska Darin Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Apparently the older teacher who was killed protecting his students, was a Holocaust survivor.

I will not be molested by an aging, balding, overweight pedophilic stepdad named Dick. Get your hands off me you sicko. Just stop it, Michael Jackson. Happy Fathers Day!
