Make it tougher. Make people accoutable as much as possible for guns in their property.

Take away the guns if you want.

But it still won't keep a lunatic from doing something like this if he wants to bad enough.

Yeah, but guns make it easy. If you had knives, no way are you taking out a class.

If you decided to use poison or make a bomb or something, that takes a certain kind of mindset, no someone who just pops and goes on a killing spree.

Look at every school mass killing. All with guns. No one put plastic explosive in the Coke machine or rat poison in the beans.

So should a responsible 1,000 be punished? Can we not take an honest look at the social work industry in this country as well as the handling of gun crimes in the first place? Eye for an eye has lots of merit people. And it should have no doubt given a second offense, but we even excuse that.

You don't treat the symptoms, you treat the illness.

CNN is talking to someone who was in one of the classrooms.

According to the report I just heard, there was one gunman, an Asian male. That photo of the Asian male being subdued that ran on the wire was NOT of another gunman, but of an Asian reporter who happened to be running in the wrong direction at the wrong time.
In all of these stories, what I hate the most is the two hours where everybody knows everything and nobody knows anything, Makes covering them a real bear. I know exactly what the reporter was going through.

You are correct. Sifting through it all is the real skill the TV stations and internet sites need to have.

I am trying real hard to figure out why there was the three hour lapse.

What could she have possibly done to make him feel so emasculated?

Why would he kill innocent bystanders?

This is a sick world.

I wouldn't call others sick if I were you.
Your opinion means nothing here.

And Boots, how many mass murders have you been able to deal with?

What I've dealt with, isn't relavant. Mark, let his remark go, please.

Unbelievable. What the fuck is wrong with people?

First off, just awful, tragic. My thoughts and prayers definitely go out to the families of the victims.

I'll tell you exactly what is wrong, THE GOD DAMNED MOTHER FUCKIN' NRA. THOSE SHITBAG DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, PARTICULARLY WAYNE LAPIERRE, ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THAT ASSHOLE IS PROBABLY CELEBRATING AS I TYPE THIS. Yeah, I know, you Faux News, Hush Limburger, Sean Hannity worshiping trailer trash rednecks are proably celebrating also.

THE NRA MUST, AND I MEAN, MUST BE STOPPED NOW BEFORE MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE KILLED SENSELESSLY!!!!

When someone says "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," I always think of Eddie Izzard's response.

"The gun helps. You can't just go up to someone and say, 'Bang.' "

Are any of the news reports talking about this being some kind of jihad thing or that the shooter was a Muslim? There was an illusion to this on the Pittsburgh radio station I'm listening to.

There's so much info coming so quickly that I'm having a hard time digesting it all......it's just so terrible.

MSNBC saying it was an "Asian, college-age male."

That would be an insane twist to this story. Talk about all hell breaking loose.

Johnny: I actually criticized something I know was coming: the presidential "condemnation". Silly to even have to say that. But I guess saying thank you for a greeting card while isn't necessary is just protocol. Somewhere though I read that every condemnation costs the country about $40,000. Put that into the flight to attend the memorial service AND meet with the families.

Because the Pittsburgh radio station is probably a disgusting bag of shite that jumped to the useful conclusion most like to stir up the rubes, would be my guess.

I think I heard or read that the security for the company was out-sourced. Lord.

Re: Another shooting at Va. Tech

Folks,

WIth faculty, students, administration, janitors, etc., there are, what? 50,000 people on campus at one time on a Monday? That's a city the size of Youngstown, Ohio, or around there. How fast do you think you could lockdown Youngstown? Remember: you're asking campus and local police to (a) investigate these shootings (b) find the gunman (c) secure the perimeter of where the incident took place (d) lockdown the entire campus. How bigcan VT's campus police force be? 50 officers at most?

And Tech should cancel classes for the week. How the hell do you experience this Monday then go and sit in a math lab on Wednesday?
