Another VT shooting
 

Suspect still at large, police officer and another person shot, campus on lockdown.

Suspect remains at large. A police officer has been shot. A potential second victim is reported at the Cage lot. Stay indoors. Secure in place.

we need more guns











to solve the problem of guns

is this a new video game or tv show

it's the news. dude.

Two confirmed dead. Officer killed after making routine traffic stop.

Colleges on the list of "not for my kids": Penn State, VT

Add Syracuse, the Citadel and ND. And that Florida school where the band guy got killed recently.

lol wtf? 'cause of the lift accident?

because that's comparable to a university-wide, systematic cover up of untold instances of child rape or two on campus shootings in a four year period.

please.

Yeah, what happened at Syracuse and ND?

one assistant basketball coach is accused of molesting three different kids (one of which has been thoroughly discredited). but there is no indication that anyone at the university knew anything about it, unlike at penn state.

at ND, last year a student was filming football practice from a scissor lift when it was way too windy to be doing so. it fell over and he died. very sad. but as a result they don't even use those anymore.

bottom line, neither situation is comparable to penn state.

Aaah. Yeah, I wouldn't call those as bad.

VT didn't cover up a shooting spree, so by that theory lumping them is wrong.

I was just talking about schools where bad bad things have happened recently at fault of the school.

that's casting a net that is both over- and under-inclusive and essentially useless

i tripped at school once. totally the school's fault.

So is saying you won't send your kids to two schools that have had bad things happen in the past. The chance of your kid getting shot, raped, killed at football practice, etc. is very very slim.

Back to VT: any news on capturing the suspect?

well sure but there is something to be said for stigma. which i don't think does/should really exist at VT. at PSU though? i wouldn't want to send my kid there either. too much complicity in the administration.

i guess brady will be around later

aw i was thinking the same thing :)

"Another TV shooting" parody thread is imminent

The second dead body supposedly is the shooter.

i dont see how he did anything wrong

Dont you need a license for those things over there/in the license don't you learn to not be a dick about being up in poor conditions/did the unit have outriggers and were they extended or was it an indoor lifter being used outdoors?

it wasn't an indoor lift. that's the only question i know the answer to.

So was this a VT shooting, or was this a shooting that happened to be on VT property?

i read something that said it came out of a routine traffic stop, which would make it seem like the latter

did you people hear about the shooting in belgium?
some guy started throwing grenades and shooting on a christmas market. and then committed suicide. 4 others died, including a one-year-old. over 120 victims survived. apparently the shooter was standing higher up, which would explain the high amount of victims.
