If you haven't heard the news yet, there was a college shooting at Virginia Tech at 7:15 AM and then another shooting in 9:15 AM. About 33 people are dead including the shooter and 29 are wounded. CNN and the rest of the news doesn't know about the shooter.
So what do you think about this? Another Columbine shooting has happened. This time it's a Columbine College shooting not high school.

Tragedy, yes, am I worried? Hell no. I bet there is at least one kid in every school who wants everyone dead, but they always don't take action which is good. These people who take the action are ruining it for the rest of the people cuz once they go shooting, securty tightens and doesnt let up. I bet you that most of us will go to school tomorrow and get some new rules or restrictions to "ensure our saftey".
Kinda sucks that it happend in a college cuz you usually wouldn't expect it to happen in a better environment like that. *sigh*

No more Toga parties for now! LOL. It's a bit wierd that it happened in a college. I mean the last two school shootings were in high schools. (Columbine High and the other high school that a NG member killed 6 other people and then himself. He was just stupid to do that.)

I am so relived. When I first heard about this I realized that this was the college that my cousin went to! Just now my grandma called and told me that he slept at his mom's house last night so he's fine. I think this is a horrible thing, and this has to be prevented. This had the biggest death toll ever. Also, this happened 4 days before Columbines 8th anniversary.

I really cant believe how quickly Jack Thompson blames videogames. He hasn't even looked into it or what the kid played. He just assumed he played Videogames. The sad part is some people believe him because they have nothing else to hear. They hear him talk but they don't see all of the stuff he's done, like threaten judges and lie.
P.S. Shouldn't this be in Politics?

Oh my God. Let me guess, Jack Thompson. That a$$hole should burn in Hell! All the gamers in the world will never forget and forgive him for what he is doing to the gamers and the industry.
I betcha when GMB sees this, he'll get mad since we all know how much he hates him.

Wow that's something. I'm a bit shock to hear a shooting from a college. Also Thompson is blamming on gamers?! Damn that fool. I still remember when he was taken down by Adam Sesller on Attack of the Show! That was the best stuff ever. It's still on YouTube. Just type Jack Thompson on ATOS at the search bar.

I wonder what this persons Motive was. He had to have one, you don't just randomly kill people. I heard that one of the people killed was his ex-girlfriends boyfriend. Coincidence? If anyone finds anymore news on this please post it here. Also, if the death toll goes up please post it.

Right now, I'm watching CNN and Fox News to see what they are saying about it.
Back to Thompson, I'm agreeing with Akuma that GMB is going to be pissed of with the stuff from Jacky. If you are reading this J.T. we would like to let you know that you are a total asshole for blamming games for the college shooting. We all know that you will go to Hell and met Satan along with Hitler.

Whoa! I just turned on my tv to see the news and this is the major story, so before I got to Wii Together, I checked out the U.S. news websites such as CNN and Fox to see if it's true.
That must of sucked for the people over there.
What the hell is Thompson doing in here? Blamming again the games for this? When will he learn?
GMB, don't get angry about this dumbass and his blames.

I live about 3 hours away from Virginia Tech, and my sister's boyfriend's brother goes there. Luckily he's ok.
I heard his girlfriend broke up with him, and he went after her and her boyfriend, and shot others in the process.

Damn. That's something. Didn't they said that the shooter was Asian?
I just found out from Yahoo that the shooter was Asian and the name. He is Cho Seung-Hui, 23, a senior from South Korea who attened VT.
