Shooting at Va. Tech

    Latest story has one gunman, dead, but a weird photo of a guy being "restrained" by police. Could be someone who didn't get the word and got spotted running toward a dorm.

    I just dont think it was a seperate shooting. The shooter got away at 7am, the campus is huge. He then hid until his class and went in and started shooting there too.

    If you don't get permanently banned over that one, this board needs a spine transplant.

    You're a piece of shit. Period.

    I have been saying that all along. Va Tech administration fucked up and heads will roll over this one.

    Good Lord. I hope this is not true. I cannot imagine a public institution letting down its students this way.

    We all know as the story unfolds more and more details will come out that things will come to a centered position. God I hope the details start to make sense.

    Administrative bureaucracy. Just another example of government's inefficiency in a crisis.

    No need for banishment. The moderators already think they have too much power. He just voiced an opinion. Let it go at that.

    Emphasis on the "teetering on nuts" part. My freshman year of college I failed a class and had a girlfriend break up with me in the same week. I handled it by sharing a case of Keystones with my buddies, not by mowing people down :(

    Just a gentle reminder to everyone, not anyone in particular:

    We have people here who were touched by this tragedy (either directly or indirectly, either professionally or personally, or both). Let's make sure this thread doesn't turn into another place to argue. I understand there will be second-guessing about the way the administration handled this, and other issues will be debated, but let's stay professional and humane and respectful about how we discuss this. Please.

    News is still being gathered. Families are still learning of their losses. Others don't know if their loved ones are OK. Others might be out of pocket and unaware. Some of them are our SportsJournalists.com friends. Don't lose sight of that.

    Thank you.
