I dont like the new fad since the goth fucks started it....

Glad to see that the officer he shot survived and made the initial report in for the suspect, preventing worse tragedy. It seems to be a fashion these days with the general lack of respect for life that you take out as many as possible when you go, instead of just disappearing yourself a s one like this should.
Note to everyone. If you find yourself in a terrible situation (your fault or not), yes, you can make it worse, but don\'t - minimize the harm you\'ve caused.

start it? not by a long shot.
they (and the mass media) made it fashionable.

Speaking of mass media, me and my roommate were talking about this today. Anne Coulter got media attention when she mentioned something about gays and Imus got fired for what he said but Rosie O\'Fatass goes on The View and makes all these remarks saying that the Bush administration are a bunch of traitors, saying 9/11 was a conspiracy by the government, stating the Iran seizure of the Navy personel was a hoax by the US government to start a war, etc and there\'s no media coverage. I dunno. I just feel there\'s an unfair bias in the media.

^^^meh in the case of Rosie...i just think that nobody really takes her seriously...she\'s always been like that...i can\'t believe some still think that 911 was a gov\'t gig!..:rolleyes:....most of her s**t is pure theatre...ever since she came outta the closet she\'s been off the hook, i mean she wasn\'t as outspoken as she was now and she even looks more "butch" so to speak...i\'ve seen some news clips of her on the view and she just seems like she\'s extremely arrogant...
as far as the shooting is concerned....a**holes like these just need to kill themselves instead of involving innocent by standers....i mean who just ups and goes to the mall blastin\' people at random?...*cough* "white folk"....;)..in another similiar scenario, there was a shooting at some mall down here in atlanta that houses the cnn newstation....the difference?... the individual..who was black came in with the gun,...specifically spotted the person of interest and offed the victim...no mass casualties whatsoever...and you white folk call us violent!...;)
in all seriousness tho i kinda agree with luckee... i never noticed killing sprees of this nature until columbine...maybe there was some other events that did happen before it, but i didn\'t notice them..and it\'s also true in what mm stated in that the media fuels the perps with this stuff with the massive coverage of these types of events...i\'m glad VT has stopped receiving coverage because even tho it was a horrific event, it was starting to go on overload status...and that is exactly what that a**hole Cho wanted...
*edit* the guy involved in this threads shooting was mental....read...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#List_of_school_shootings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#List_of_school_shootings)
Notice that there were no video games between 1764 and 1959.

also notice that it says "WELL KNOWN school shootings." by whose standards..its wikipedia so it could just be that loser next door who doesnt know about the indie school shootings
this doesnt even have any relations to a school shooting anyway. the dude was like 50 years old. just the media milking it for all its worth. There was the shooting at the nasa place a couple days after VT too that got its day of publicity.

I wonder what Jack "Douchebag" Thompson has to say about those.

I just looked on Google for a list of shooting sprees for clips and that\'s what came up.
If you can find something more appropriate, go for it, it was the best I could do in the 30 seconds I gave it. :)

Psst, let me let you in on a secret. There was no mention of racial slurs referring to George Bush as a nappy headed ho, or a wetback. So she is pretty safe.
