Breaking news; at least 20 dead at Virigina Tech.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech.shooting/index.html
Couple of videos on there, no word on suspect or motive, though it seems liek a lone gunman.
And I was amazed that the majority of the news report was on how the weather was bad. Guess someone had a case of the Mondays?

Shooting at Virginia TechFollow
Locke are you our other member that goes to VTech? I can't remember.
I remember Saeros is there. I can't imagine the chaos involved in that dorm shooting, nor the randomness of sitting in class and seeing a gunman come through the doors.
We're all Hokies today.

Got friends there, so I'm still waiting on more news. Painfully slow on information so far.
Someone did have a case of the mondays.
and they shot 21 kids to death.

I think the joke you're looking for is, "Twenty morons from Virginia were sent to the UK, raising the IQ of both places."
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Police say there were two separate shooting incidents - at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a student dormitory, and Norris Hall, an engineering building.
Update. Average IQ now up by 65%.
Q: How can you spot an extrovert Engineering student?
A: He stares at your shoes while he's talking to you.

While the comedy is interesting, it's not really appropriate. Now the FBI is in control, and they're saying that the shootings are the work of the same person.

This is hardly the place for poor taste jokes about human tragedy.
Oh, wait. . .
In other news, Bush is formulating a Whitehouse briefing that makes a clear connection between Saddam, Osama, Obama, Kim-Jong-Il and Michael Moore's known links with Virginia's anti-student lobby.
Oh, and FUck Off Metastophicleas you sentimentalist cnut

Nobbs, the only reason that I think it's in bad taste is because I've got a bunch of friends there, and not knowing if they're dead or wounded is kinda bugging me. I will admit the jokes were funny, just in poor taste, IMO.

Oh seriously, they're students FFS. It's not like they're real people or anything!
Now if they'd been Lesbian Midgets or Power Rangers or the cast of "The OC" I'd be first in line for a minute's silence.

Ok, now that was funny. I feel dirty for laughing...
To be serious for a moment

Who suspects that in the middle of this tragedy, some emo student is playing auction wars between Fox, ABC, CNN, SKY etc., for the footage of the dead and dying he took on the cell-phone his daddy bought for him. . .
Just me?
Meanwhile, watch those liberal lefties push their flakey argument that guns should not me made available to any old fUckslap.

The Drudge Report is stating that:
SKY NEWS: Witnesses said he was heavily armed and entered the college looking for his girlfriend... He reportedly lined up students and opened fire at them. He was said to be an Asian, in his mid-20s...

One of my best friends goes to school at VT. As soon as I found out, I called him, but there was no answer on his cell phone. Then, I called his parents, and thankfully, he's fine. Unfortunately, one of his fraternity brothers was among the victims, but at least he's safe.

I'll take you up on that one.
The image quality on the video was good, except for all the shaking. Pretty damn windy though, so I can easily understand.
“I’m from the Middle East, so I’m not used to this sort of thing, but I’ve been in similar situations,†Albarghouti told MSNBC-TV.
During this tragic time, this gave me a chuckle.

Chinese? Indian? Japanese? Burmese?
We have to be certain so we can confidently demonize the right ethnic group.
This is utterly tragic, and already the focus is turning on irrelevant aspects of the alleged perp.

So how long till Jack Thompson starts jumping in front of the camera blaming video games?
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Well, I already had a client in the lobby tell me that it has to be a terrorist act because it's impossible for a college student to have done that.
So. Terrorist or Grand Theft Auto. Coin flip anyone?
He looked at me like I was crazy when I told him that it was probably one of the students gone loco. He tells me "there hasn't been one of those since columbine!"
...
Since I'm stubborn, I tell him he's wrong and there have been several; none of them being terrorists. So he pauses...then tells me "well, I believe it if it was highschool, but not college."
That was my cue to nod and smile.
