was listinin to rem greatest hits today and a song struck me. The lyrics go "It's been a bad day today. please don't take our picture" man i wish i could play it for the reporters at VT. It's like man give the people there a little break. I know we need to be informed but they shoulda informed them 2 hours earlier that there was a gunman loose. Then they all run around like little rats looking for bits of info that the next guy doesn't have. They need to have some damn respect.

they say they figured that the gunmen was off campus and were trying to seclude the first murde scene where it all popped off with the first girl so I can kinda understand both sides of that

They were just trying to keep class going as normal and trying not to get a crowd outside this dead woman's dorm I'm sure they never would thought that some fucking crazy lunatic would go on a shooting rampage but at the same time it's like ok so there's a killer on the loose and your gonna say nothing to give people a heads up but I don't know I mean shit happens I'm sure they meant it with the best intentions!
