Virginia tech Shooting

*shrugs*

Just saying what I read the tattoo was about.

[DW]

Please leave religion out of this. Trust me. It always turns into arguments. (don't take it offensively)

I was recently released that the guy had had mental issues in the past, and was known to be a stalker, and the dumbsh*ts at the gun shop sold him a gun.
Has anyone seen the episode of Pen and Teller:BS! on Gun Control? It is very informative (and hilarious).
Lets face it. Gun Control is a lie.

religion actually has a lot to do with this, they found an eight page rant which contained a rant about religion in his backpack.

and they didn't have a choice but to sell him the guns, he had a green card and didn't have any record against him. It was actually illegal for them to deny selling him the gun. So really this goes back to the government, who made it illegal for them to do anything about this guy. They couldn't force him into counseling or make him unallowed to get guns unless he said he was going to kill a specific person or said he had a weapon and was going to use it.

lol
Yeah. My brother went off to live on his own for college the day this happened. I never got to warn him about asian dudes in leather jackets...... :'(

[DW]

Okay, that was really racist right there...this was one guy, just because he was Asian doesn't mean all Asians will do that. The columbine shooters were both caucasian.

EDIT: They just released some of the stuff in the package he sent, here's the page with the info:

jokeing.... ;) (GULPS) I didn't mean to make it plural. That was a huge mistake. IM sorry if anyone took if offensively.
Not meant to be racist. I have 4 asian friends ( I'll name them so people don't think I'm lying : Kaz, Leonard, Melvin (indian-asian), and Micheal), and they would have found it humorous. Sorry if our ethics are different.

Also, he wasn't in leather..but yeah be careful about stuff like that...anyways, here's a slideshow of pictures about the shooting, it has some of the pictures that he sent to NBC...

[DW]

hooooooly....yeah, just a bit...I'll take care of that...

[Master Dragmire]

make it scrolling please!

:-X

Yeah, I haven't been following the story up that much. I heard the leather jacket thing from Dateline.

[DW]

No, he wasn't wearing a leather jacket in any of the pictures I saw anyways...

[darkphantomime]

AHEM... DOUBLE POST!

it's become expected, all those who go on rampages at schools are usually very isolated individuals with rejection issues, possibly taking psychiatric medication...

[DW]

No, Gamefreak had a post there saying I was stretching the page, wonder why he deleted it though :-\

What's so stupid is there were so many signs, but they coudln't do anything about it.

His teachers tried to do something, advising that he take counseling. They all noticed that he was unusually quiet, and that it seemed a little... uneasy. They did all they could, recommend that he get counselling.

You can't really arrest someone on the grounds that they  are 'unusually depressed' with the logic that they might go on a rampage..

If that were the case, I woulda been locked away A LONG TIME AGO.

[DW]

Dude, you aren't as bad as he was...his violence-drenched, disturbing plays...and everything else...

[MasterKeyX]

I heard that the teachers tried to send him to counseling, because he was out of the niorm, but he refused to go.

And you really can't force counseling, because, well, that would be unconstitutional.

[collaboration]

Anybody read any of the plays he had written? They released a couple. They both suck.

Crappy plays with crappy themes. He may have had mental problems, as well you would have to do what he did, but to be honest, it looks like he really liked the shock-factor. What an asshole.
