Not that you asked but I'll tell you anyway: This old dog has damned well had it with all the misplaced sympathy (see See-Dubya's post for some examples) for the low-life cretin that snuffed 32 innocent lives last Monday morning and I'm done contributing to his its reputation.

I haven't seen any final numbers but I know at least one of the VT dead was a military veteran who ran toward the sound of the shooting out of concern for his students. Why wasn't Kevin Granata armed? How many more Virginia Techs do we need?
