I wonder if she'd have the nerve to say the same thing if any of our Canadian colleges had repeat shootings?
How sad, to see the responses that are nothing but knee jerk reactions to the poster as opposed to the topic. Also how predictable.What is really sad, is that said posters have nothing of substance to contribute......so poster bashing fills in the void.
The lockdown at Virginia Tech has been lifted hours after after two people, including a police officer, were killed on campus.
The Virginia Tech police officer was shot and killed just after noon after making a routine traffic stop, school officials say.
Witnesses said the shooter fled on foot toward a parking lot. A body was later found at that lot. Virginia Tech reported on its website that a weapon was found near the body.
If I see such news, I would definately post it. That is not the issue. The issue is that the culture of violence is quite prevelant in the US. Either that........or the media sure makes it seem that way. Each such incident is dramatized to the nth degree , analysed and re analysed........ with no change in overall policy........Until the next shooting.
Any shootings in Canada,, UK, European countries are just as horrific and barbaric. That is a no brainer. They just handle it differently and don't dramatize the event into some form of celeb status. That is the secondary gain for these shooters. They usually are people who feel like losers, have gone from crisis to crisis, or are emotionally so disturbed, this is the only way they think they can make their mark . It is the inner pathology that is relavent as is the whole gun issue.
Don't think Canadians or the Brits love their guns any where near as much as the US population. You can't attend a bridge game without ladies having little guns in their purses. When that level of gun worship exists in Canada , it will be the object for condemnation too.

It had nothing to do with the poster, or even the post, and everything to do with the title. It was a gloat. A gloat over a shooting. I'm curious if you'd gloat equally if the same thing happened at Dawson College again? Or at Ecole Polytechnique?

Good Lord!
Nobody "worships" guns.
The murder rate in the USA in 2010 was 4.8 per 100,000.
The murder rate worldwide in 2010 was 6.9 per 100,000.
The United States is a very peaceful and lawful place to live, all in all.
You don't have a clue.
A GLOAT??? are you NUTS???? If you interpret that as a gloat........then you have some serious comprehension problems.
What it is is SARCASM. Sarcasm as shootings in the US have become part of daily life.
Where is hell is anyone GLOATING?? That is utter nonsense.........but it explains a lot. about how quick some resort to their knee jerk responses when that is not even the topic.

I wonder what pattern we would see if all your threads were posted topic by topic. No I do not wonder at all.
Dead on Karrie!

do YOU KNOW and COMPREHEND what STICK to the TOPIC means???
the title does not even say anything about the US. But the knee jerkers anti OB folks are out in rabid packs .The OB haters form a forum subculture and all it takes is a post that is contorversial.......to bring out the gnashing teeth.
Wow......
OFF TOPIC. try and concentrate..... People get KILLED in these incidents. what about the victims??
YOu were doing fine until your last statement. IS making it personal so important to you. Is putting down other posters so critical for you to feel important and superior.???
shameful;
and the US is NOT a peaceful place to live.

I don't know you froma hole in the ground, let alone hate you. Your thread title gave an impression. Don't like it, perhaps you might want to think of what you MEANT to say, and have the mods change it. Right now, that is the only personal words from you on the subject. They imply that it's to be expected and scoffed at because you don't like the US's mentality.
