A TOTALLY ARMED SOCIETY IS A FREE SOCIETY! BECAUSE THEN WE CAN ALL LIVE IN FEAR OF ONE ANOTHER!
If you don't agree with that, I'll pop a cap up yo ass.

Not to mention Duncan Bayne:
This would have been preventable with much lower loss of life if the university admins hadn't voted down a rule change to allow students with licenses to carry concealed handguns on campus.
As it was, they deliberately disarmed their students, setting them up for this kind of horrible slaughter ... and then having disarmed them, utterly failed to provide for their physical security.
Disgusting behaviour on so many levels :-(

I don't think anyone cares enough to get het up over silly stuff like that. It's true though, Crusaders suck but not as much as rugby sucks overall. Sad excuse for a national sport, that.

Similar incidents in Iraq, Darfur or just about anywhere in Africa would not have raised much attention in media however.

I smell a media beat up here... any pogroms against the Koreans would be directly caused by sensationalist reporting.

Sounds like it was pathological jealousy combined with easy access to guns...

It! It!
Gimme that edit button Russell...

I wasn't me - didn't see the one-month mistake but it reinforces my WTF point about the possibility of Koreans in the States now being targetted in revenge attacks.

Edgy is the right word. There's always that feeling in the back of your mind when in the States that someone might just pull a gun at you. That doesn't come from being paranoid either: I walked a few steps on a concrete path on a beach (again in LA...) without realising it was exclusively for rollerbladers and cyclists.
So you have this nice big beach, there are people on it, and you can walk on the sand and you can walk on the footpath along the beach, but damn you if you set foot on the concrete path crossing the beach.
As I was walking on the path, a police siren went off and Officer Donut bellowed in his bullhorn at me to "STEP OFF THE PATH! STEP OFF THE PATH!"
Jesus nelly, I didn't step off the path. I jumped off it when I realised it was me he was loudhailing. The hugely fat cop was slowly driving along the footpath at the top of the beach in his black-and-white cruiser, glaring at me out of the window.
So I smile weakly and wave at him, and start to walk off in the sand. The fucker follows and drives up besides me - hand on his police issue shotgun in the car. I nervously apologise and explain that I'm a foreigner, a tourist, and that I had no idea that it was illegal to walk on the concrete footpath on the beach.
That was enough and I didn't end up getting ventilated or tasered or whatever; he drove off, and I went back to the hotel, feeling like crap. Back at the hotel, the Americans there didn't seem to think it was anything out of the ordinary however - "yeah, the cops can be real assholes like that. Don't worry about it."
Just the way it is, huh?

Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, but Laws wears a... umm, never mind.
So you watched Gnomes and Laws in the same programme? Stronger constitution than mine then.
