Va Tech Shooter sends "images, letter" to NBC

I have a problem with NBC getting credit lines on these photos.

It's blood money.

 

I have a problem with NBC playing those videos and showing those photos because every lunatic now has a license and a recipe for how to go out with a blaze of glory.

 

I can't complain about NBC showing the photos, because I'm one of those people trying to devour every bit of news on this. And they add to the image of the killer, which is important because the question of what makes someone commit a despicable act like this is one that needs an answer. If we're going to have a huge debate about what makes an incident like this happen, I think information like his manifesto and these photos are up there with the NY Times story as far as filling in the pieces of the puzzle. There is still room for honoring the victims as well.

Those photos looked like a lonely loser's attempt to be tough. Unfortunately, that loser had guns. Little fucker deserved to live and face hard jail time, with all the daily punishment that would have entailed for a slimy little psycho like him.

Gotta say, while they are damn scary within the context of what he did later (and almost sadly cheesy at times if he hadn't killed anyone, especially the one with the hammer), they still don't match the horror of the image in my mind's eye of dude bursting into classrooms and opening fire.

He looks like a wannabe street punk trying to be tough; the photos don't seem real just standing alone. But in the context of what he did . . . . . I move to the mental image of him actually committing the crime, and that is what will stay with me for a long time, the fact he succeeded in carrying out his master plan after taking those photos.

That said, of course, I'm sure I'll see a-hole's face tonight when I'm trying to sleep, just like I see The Ring girl or Exorcist chick for a few days after seeing those films . . . . . . .

 

Well, not if you were there. 'Cause you'd stop them, come hell or high water, right?

I would be more disturbed with his blueprint as to HOW to go out in a blaze of glory, doing what he did. All I know is, watching the two-minute clip on Yahoo's site pissed me off again. Like he had no other options but that.

 

Funny you mention this. One of the better talk radio shows on this was Tues morning's Coast to Coast with George Noory when he had some FBI profiler on (might have been Van Zandt) and he said that most killers like this are very narsacistic and have a very distorted view of the world and just how the fuck they fit into.

 

Good Doctor - No I wouldn't be there to stop him. I'd be too busy holding a press conference to talk about my pain and suffering from the hurtful and mean-spirited names you called me earlier.

 

Neil Boortz would be ashamed of you, sir.

 

What would Imus say about all this, is what I want to know.
