32 people total

it was not known if he was a student.

he was. From what I heard he wore a letter jocket, and you don't get one unless you're a student.

Christ. We were watching this on CNN in Theater class today. Our student intern's brother goes there, but thankfully he was on the other side of campus. This is goddamned awful, no two ways about it.

[achtung]

**** up.

Wish he were still alive, so he could go through some serious retribution.\

EDIT:  Spelling.

Well if he were alive, he would be on trial for a few years, then probably sentenced to death or life in prison where he will cost $25,000 minimum a year to keep alive. Or he would plead insanity because no sane person would do this and cost even more money. He didnt escape anything by killing himself.

[Ghost]

I say for ****wads like these we should bring back cruel and unusual punishment. To be meted out by me, of course.

[Polpolion]

death totals up to 33 now somehow.

And I misheard the radio, it wasn't a letter jacket, it was a leather jacket.

[Kilocmdr Lin]

well i could have been worse.  He could have been a better shot.

On the flip side they could have ended it quicker, i saw some of those cops on tv, my grampa can run faster. 

Give the gunman/gunmen one chance to drop their weapons, if they don't comply kill them.  No court time, no waisted money on a prison stay and  less retards in the verse.  But that is just my opinon on the matter.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. 

[Turambar]

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. 

guns really help though.

[achtung]

If someone's determined to kill people, they don't really need a gun to do so. 

The ingredients for a decent bomb can be found under most kitchen sinks you know.

[Kilocmdr Lin]

why go thru all that trouble just hit them in the back of the head, they go asleep and then you have all the time in the world.

But all you realy need is:
1 hammer
2 nails
1 big stump
1 barn full of hay
1 match
1 spoon


other list to come sortly.

[DeepSpace9er]

He could have killed more people with a combination of common household items and chemicals. But seriously, saying guns kill people is like saying cars kill people, not reckless driving.

[Grey Wolf]

Figuring out how to kill people more efficiently really isn't a very respectful reaction to this event.

[Goober5000]

Virginia Tech's behavior in this entire incident is unconscionable.  First they fail to respond to the 7AM shooting of a single person, allowing classes to continue and students to remain unaware of the shooting for two hours. Second, after the 9AM shootings start, they lock down the entire campus so that nobody can escape, allowing the gunman all the targets he wants.

That, combined with their clumsy handling of the escaped prisoner in August, makes me seriously question their competence to run a school.

I could say the gunman is facing ultimate justice right now, but that's little solace to the grieving.

No... but I'm betting he broke quite a few laws procuring / using those guns...

This is sad.  Wonder why he did it.

Procuring? No. No laws against owning a handgun(or more) if you're 21 in most states, including Virginia.

Using? Well...yeah. Murder is against the law.

As for why? Someone like that is a sociopath, and they're honest to god not mentally healthy. Something may have set them off, but that's the base cause, and other than killing him at the start, there's no way to prevent something like that from happening.

[jr2]

Ah, I meant breaking the law because he had handguns; to use those, some states require a permit.  When they do the permit, I'm pretty sure they evaluate you, don't they (background & psychological)?

[Grey Wolf]

Did Florida ever disbar Thompson? I know there was talk of it a few months back.
