    If a Shaker (I cannot remember the religon) classroom full of girls in the middle of the day in Central Pennsylvania is not safe or a classroom at Virginia Tech then no where is safe.

    You just have to pray that you or your loved ones are not there when a person goes crazy WITH. A. GUN.

    I hate to say this but some a-hole is out there thinking about doing the same thing and will attempt it.

    There is one within 50 miles of each of us. I am sure of that. The difference is them actually doing it.

    Heard on the radio this a.m. the nut case fired over 50 rounds. Apparently, it's fortunate he was a poor shot or more might have died.

    Not unexpectedly ...<blockquote>BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. – A man who sprayed bullets into a fitness class filled with women, killing three and then himself, apparently kept a Web page in which he wrote about years of rejection by women and an earlier plan for violence at the gym in which he said he "chickened out."

    Neighbors described 48-year-old George Sodini as anti-social, and the Web page in his name showcased a resume setting forth his credentials as an unhappy loner. It listed his date of death — Aug. 4, 2009 — and his status of "Never married." The page ended with the words "Death Lives!"</blockquote>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090805/ap_on_re_us/us_health_club_shooting_33

    Homeland Security has some explaining to do.

    Shouldn't the Patriot Act (which I am not in favor of) given someone the ability to spot this?

    Yet how anyone is supposed to see that and somehow intervene before a mass shooting, I have no idea.

    What pisses people off is that they do shit like this and then put themselves in a permanent type nod, not leaving anyone a chance to get back at them for what they did. Cowardly indeed.

    The other AP Story made it sound like if you read his website that what he would do was pretty obvious.

    Well, that didnt take long. Glad I got to read it when I did. From what I gathered he blames his older brother for bullying him. He had issues with religion and hadn't had a girlfriend since 1982.
