I don’t know who’s more pathetic – someone who pretends to be a mass murderer on their livejournal page or the people who post comments on that same livejournal page just to have posted on a “potentially famous livejournal” page. Do they think feebly latching on to some idiot’s 15 minutes of shame is their brush with greatness?
Update: According to an interview with ABC, as detailed in Brian Ross’ “The Blotter”, the mass murderer role player isn’t role playing at all, it’s in fact an overblown case of mistaken identity.
Kudos to Brian Ross for helping this kid clear his name, and rasberries to the very same Brian Ross who earlier on Monday took the opportunity to exploit this tragedy to push his own personal agenda for more gun control by randomly bringing up the unrenewed federal ban on assault weapons:
High capacity ammo clips became widely available for sale when Congress failed to renew a law that banned assault weapons.

Virginia law enforcement officials have not identified the weapon used in the shootings today at Virginia Tech, but gun experts say the number of shots fired indicate, at the very least, that the gunman had large quantities of ammunition.
The comments to this particular post are worth a read as one reader after another deftly points out just how much of a tool Ross is.
Nice blog!
Very funny that all the main stream commentators are spouting their mouths off about finding a way to profile the type of person who would shoot up a school. But when it comes to profiling the type of person who might kill 3,000 folks with a plane — well, that just ain’t right.
PS. Nice blog!
