Very yes... That was horrible.

Fortunately, he didn't have a myspace page, but from what I read on CNN.com, he wore black, and was a fan of vampirefreaks.com, so here comes another round of unfair scrutiny for the "goth" kids, metal music, violent video games and guns.

...and i hope that the chick who died doesnt end up getting famous for Dying and saying everything in diaries that you hear a preacher say every sunday like that girl Rachelle Scott.

Who? Oh, wait--I don't go to church...must be why I've never heard of her.

Yeah, this sucked royally. Now it's just a matter of time until Jack Thompson starts up again, since apparently the shooter liked the Columbine video game. (But then, who honestly makes a video game for something like that? What's next, a video game where you aim to fly airplanes into buildings?)

I love it. A tragedy happens and COLA can only think of himself. Good job, jerky.

I have been wondering when the next shooting would happened. I always thought it would be in a high school somewhere in US, not a college in Canada. Let's see if Canada will handle this better than we do.

That, my friend, is a tragedy.

Tradgedy? 1 chick dies and some other people get skimmed by a bullet.

Don't be talking about tragedies. You are talking to someone who almost created one.

ooo, let me guess, your the Reb and VoDKa of the North.

*Takes a deep breath*

Well, I was hoping I would never have to do this on here but I guess I have to.

Back in 8th grade I was picked on unmercifully. It was horrible, to make things worse no one would help me, not even the teachers. So one day when it was really bad, I told some of my bullies that I was going to bring a gun in and kill them. I went home that night and loaded my dad's old Army rifle. It was a six-shot rifle and I filled it. The next morning before I got the bus I put it in my coat, but as I did I questioned myself on the ramifications. I asked myself "Is my taste for revenge that powerful that I would throw my life away for it?" I answered no and put the gun away. When I got to school, I was told to go to the vice principal's. When I got there I held nothing back. I told the entire truth about it, and the VP turned an expulsion into three days of In-School Suspension. There was a silver lining to all of this though: No one bothered me for the rest of the school year. I also have no regrets about it. In fact I will go as far to say it was the smartest thing I have ever done.

So when ever I here about a school shooting that invovled a kid who was bullied, I feel some sympathy for them having been in a similar situation.

The Jerk was wearing a Trench Coat so i guess that means i cant wear my trench coat any more, and i hope that the chick who died doesnt end up getting famous for Dying and saying everything in diaries that you hear a preacher say every sunday like that girl Rachelle Scott.

Seems to me that you WOULDN'T show them any sympathy.. You were in their situation and you chose the "higher road".

Guys... Why are you whining about coats and video games? Someone died. And all you can think about is about how you're going to suffer.

I'm not talking about how I'm going to suffer. It won't really affect me.

I'm just saying that it's sad that there's going to be people who use this to their own ends and vilify things that they dislike.
I'm not trying to take anything away from the death. That's bad..

I admit, its a tradgedy because someone else died from it today, but whats more important to me is that videogames are going to be put under even more Scrutiny than they allready are.

Let me get this straight: are you saying that video games are more important to you than human life?

I think he's saying as we said above that people, in their fear and rage, are going to unnecessarily attack things in our world that ought not be attacked because of this. They're going to let their emotional state and already-established personal grievances against things they don't fully understand (like video games) get them to act against said things, meaning that their fear will not only be controlling their own lives, but through them, potentially controlling the lives of the rest of society (or at least a significant portion of it) in a negative fashion.

You might argue that these people's call-to-arms against anything that could be construed as being potentially harmful and unsafe for our society isn't as big a deal as the shooting itself, but I contest that fear of a negative action has a much more powerful effect on guiding the actions and thoughts of a people than perhaps even the negative action itself.
