Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

Shit. Seriously I'm shocked to the core. I originally heard just one person. Holy fuck. I honestly just don't get this kind of crap and made all the worse knowing people who go to Tech...

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

where's the talent in spraying bullets?! though neither event is anything to joke about , i still think the UT clocktower shooting was more impressive. talk about disturbed individuals. 21 murders in a itting is seriously FUBAR.

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

Wow - this is really terrible. I'm watching on Fox & CNN now. This'll go down as one of the worse school shootings ever. I'm waiting to hear the reasons why. They said there had been bomb threats, so I wonder if they're related.

Why does this always seem to happen at a school in the US?

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

Now they're saying 25 and the number is expected to rise... I'm glad I'm not a parent with a kid in school... I can't even imagine the trauma.

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

Rumor has it Marcus Vick was the shooter.

(shouldn't joke...booo for me)

#845726Post 16 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

the best part about it is the suggestion that it may be a terrorist attack.

#845727Post 17 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

what I don't understand is why don't we know who the killer was and what happened??

Why did the police say they had the shooter in custody and then said he was dead??

Another fucked up in the head white boy what a surprise..

Horrible news! I feel so sad for the victims and their family and friends.

Happened here as well already and politicians and concerned citizens blamed video games like Counterstrike for it. :roll: Somebody has no friends, sucks at school, his parents beat the crap out of him, he does drugs but yeah the video games are to blame. They even started calling 1st person shooters officially "Killer games" here after that. I am only sorry for all the people and their families who actually enjoyed their lifes in opposite to the assasinator who decided to get out of it all with a bang.

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

there's more than meets the eye here. they've had several bomb threats recently too, evidently. i'm sure they aren't releasing the details until they have an accurate story. too much speculation could cause a huge outrage/scare.

#845734Post 21 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

at least it wasnt whitey this time. fox and cnn reporting the shooter was a heavily armed asain guy.

#845735Post 22 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

apparently he chained the doors to the hall shut and then into classrooms and shot randomly. 20 year old Asian, possible student blah blah. had a 9mm and a 22 with multiple clips. what i can't figure out is how he shot people at a dorm at 7am and then went across campus and two hours later shoots again....

#845736Post 23 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

19 school shootings in 10 years, isn't it about time America re thought it's attitude towards guns?

#845739Post 24 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

^^no shit, but nothing will ever change here. too many lobbyists have their hands in too many deep pockets for that to work.

#845741Post 25 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

How many dead children will it take for these so called lobbyists to take their hands out of their deep pockets and to start thinking with their heads instead?

#845746Post 27 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

the bomb threats may be related, but may well not...students often call in bomb threats during final exams to have them delayed. sounds rediculous, but it happens pretty often.

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

What a fucking retard. I hope many people shit and piss on his grave.

Another dark day for the american goverment and its stupid rules on gun control.

Just another victory for our corrupt and failed political system and their lobbyist hacks...NRA all the way!!! :(

#845752Post 31 of 185

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

blame the person who pulled the trigger in anger before we blame a gun manufacturer. but they share some blame.

remember, guns dont kill people, dangerous minorities do.

yes we do, and we are losing every freedom one at a time because of them. true free speech, gun rights, all the way up to corporate reporting. it only takes one asshole to ruin it for everyone.

Re: 20 dead at uni shooting :(

banning guns doesn't get rid of guns. anyways, thoughts go out to those in that school.

There's no doubt the blame for this callous act lays firmly at the feet of the guy who pulled the trigger. But as I stated earlier, 19 shootings like this in 10 years, man, how can you not start to ask questions?

not to argue, but more to devil advocate it..

should we start banning cars because ppl run each other down and get into accidents? do we sue food stores for making america disgustingly obese? do we sue global manufacturing and energy producers b/c die of skin cancer? or more at home to the clubbing community, cigarettes and booze? those deaths are exponetially higher.

im just saying, its really easy to scapegoat and point fingers. like when a black kid gets a light sentence because of his upbringing?

there is right and wrong, and people lost that idea a long time ago.....

sad too, my brother just was at vatech for a lacrosse game 2 weeks ago.

There's sick fucks everywhere, we have shootings almost every week, but nothing on the scale of some crazed lunatic wanting to take down half a school.

I agree, banning guns won't completely rid us of this sort of thing, but surely it will go some way to help preventing it.

I see what your saying but it's wrong. Guns are desgined to murder people. You shouldn't allow the general population to have guns because some of the general population are dangerous and possibily insane.
