That massacre in quotes.
"Walking into a school hall and shooting people is clearly against the law"
- President Bush's spokeswoman explains that killing other members of the public is a criminal offense.
"all the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last ten years were stopped because a law-abiding citizen—a potential victim—had a gun"
- Larry Pratt, a thoroughly applicable name, the executive director of Gun Owners of America, comes up with a utterly convincing argument for even more guns. Presumably, if everyone had to bear arms by law this wouldn't have happened. Also, if we twisted the constitution and armed bears, installing one on every campus, it would have quickly have stopped the killer in his tracks.
"The Queen is shocked and saddened at the shootings"
"Can I first say how appalled everyone is by the terrible news from Virginia.
"Our deepest sympathy and our condolences of course go to that community and to all of those whose families are directly affected."
"I would like to express, on behalf of Britain and the British people, our profound sadness at what has happened and to send the American people, and most especially of course the families of the victims, our sympathy and our prayers."
- The Queen, Margaret Beckett and Tony Blair all express how utterly shocked they are at an act of wanton violence. If all three had to apologise for every attack that takes place in Iraq as a direct result of the actions of her government/their policies, they'd never stop informing us of their faux concern.
"People are pretty upset," Johnson said. "He's a monster; he can't be normal. I can't believe I said 'hi' to him in the hall and then he killed all those people."
Obviously. No one seems to have found an entry for him on a social networking site yet, a sure sign of a mass-murderer in waiting.
"Today America is stunned and heartbroken at so many lost young lives. We share their grief."
The Scum joins in with the crocodile tears, with 12 articles alone on the shooting on its current news page. That's more than it's probably dedicated to the victims of the war which it propagandised for in the last year. As Juan Cole points out, a Baghdad university recently suffered its own equivalent of the massacre at Virginia Tech, except the suicide bomber succeeded in killing 41 people.
"A Lovely Divine Irony And Righteous Judgment Against This Impudent Nation"
The Westboro Baptist Church, via godshatesfags.com, weighs in. At least you know that they really do mean it. Site appears to be currently down, which most likely means it's getting DDoSed more than usual as a result.
"Cho Seung-Hui Was Inspired By Islam. His Suicide Note Signed Ismail-X
Just heard it on Fox News. Cho Seung-Hui left a suicide note and signed it as Ismael-AX (or Ismail-AX as the media published just now). Ismael is the Arabic for Ishmael the father of the Arabs, the son of Abraham and the one that Muhammad the founder of Islam favored above Isaac the father of the Jews. This terror seems to have indeed been motivated by Islam."
A fascist over at http://bnpandme.blogspot.com/. There's plenty more of them on the already legendary in knuckle-dragging racist terms Stormfront thread.

I'm not surprised that you found some awful trash on Stormfont and BNPand me. I found some stuff about the Virginia massacre on similar sights that was really sickening...just unbelievable.
Incidentally, the Nazi I've been battling with these last few days also wrote some truly disgusting stuff about Virginia. I think her blog might finally have been pulled now. Fingers crossed. It seems to have fallen off the internet. I've updated my post about it with the story.
