I know, jcrazy likes to go around doing that. I will post this over there letting him know.

At least it had a happy ending. No one hurt, and one psycho off the streets.

Reminds of a scene from the movie Full Metal Jacket (Location, no indictment on the Marine Corps):

HARTMAN
Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was?
None of you dumbasses knows?

HARTMAN
Private Cowboy?

COWBOY
Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people
from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!

HARTMAN
That's affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twenty
people from a twenty-eight-storey
observation tower at the
University of Texas
from distances up to four hundred yards.

HARTMAN
Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was?

HARTMAN
Private Snowball?

SNOWBALL
Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!

HARTMAN
That's right, and do you know how
far away he was?

SNOWBALL
Sir, it was pretty far! From that book
suppository building, sir!

HARTMAN
All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty
feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away
and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got
off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action
rifle in only six seconds and scored two
hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people
know where these individuals learned to
shoot?

HARTMAN
Private Joker?

JOKER
Sir, in the Marines, sir!

HARTMAN
In the Marines! Outstanding! Those
individuals showed what one motivated
marine and his rifle can do! And before you
ladies leave my island, you will be able to
do the same thing!

is it me or has this story been kind of downplayed, i mean it wasn't ever the #1 headline on cnn.com as far as I saw.

i wonder what this guy's story is...


also i love how i get drug into all of society's fights now.

The girl that did the story for the NY Daily News, and subsequently had it as the #1 story on Google, was a classmate of mine in HS (2 grades older).

Working at the library at Ohio State, it's scary to think this could happen with me sitting at the front desk.

An Oklahoma WR has been suspended after tweeting some insensitive remarks about the shooting.
