Like most people right now, I think, I've been following news about the Virginia Tech shooting for the last few days.
Something about public safety in the face of violent nutcases must make people stupid, I swear, because oh my gods... from Yahoo news:
"In virtually every regard, Cho is prototypical of mass killers that I've studied in the past 25 years," said Northeastern University criminal justice professor James Alan Fox, co-author of 16 books on crime. "That doesn't mean, however, that one could have predicted his rampage."
...
...
WHAT THE HELL?!?!?
Okay, maybe he means it's just as likely he only would have killed one person, but the guy was a ticking time bomb.
Then again, this is the same news media that brought us, after every school shooting, "We don't know why they would do something like this! They were complete social outcasts, tormented mercilessly every day for years... how could they have turned out so disturbed?"
¬_¬ Gee. I wonder.
