Quote:At least 32 dead in Virginia shooting rampage


BLACKSBURG, Virginia (Reuters) - At least 32 people were killed and more than two dozen wounded at Virginia Tech university on Monday in the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history, media said.

Fox News, CNN and the student-run university newspaper gave the death toll as 32. Officials earlier said at least 22 people were killed.

The rampage by what police believed was a lone gunman took place in two separate areas, first at a dormitory as students had begun criss-crossing the sprawling campus for morning classes, and then about two hours later at an engineering and science hall a half-mile away.

34 confirmed dead now. 32 in the hall and 2 in the dorm.

Quote:We told Elizabeth Driscoll, GoDaddy's vice president of public relations, that names such as vatechmassacre.com were being registered through her company today. Driscoll said she "was not aware of that." She got off the phone to look into the matter. Thirty minutes later, she called back.

"I found one that has been registered to GoDaddy," she said. It was vatechmassacre.com.

We asked if she'd looked for other names. She said she had not. We presented her with more examples of names registered with GoDaddy today: vatechrampage.com, vtmassacre.com, etc.

Driscoll said it was impossible to stop people from registering tasteless names or predict what they might be used for. "Someone might use it to collect money to help victims," she said. ""It's a fact of life that when a major event happens, whether it's positive or negative, people flock to register domain names....We don't have the ability to monitor every site."...

This makes me frickin angry! I would guess that most of those names are not being registered for altruistic reasons. 


People are fucking sick!

"The irony, Kopel points out, is that Virginia Tech may have opened itself up to a lawsuit anyway. Two people were killed several hours before the rest of the victims, and many have complained that the school didn't warn people of the situation before the killing started again. "This interval and failure to warn, after having affirmatively disarmed them...I'm not a Virginia tort expert," says Kopel, "but that strikes me as a good start" for an enterprising litigator. Perhaps the reluctance to release the news flowed from the same central-command instincts that led administrators to disarm their students."
