Rush was FAB today...said if the killer had sent him the tape, he and “angry talk radio” would be blamed for the violence. NBC had a choice to air it, and they did.

However, they will NOT air scenes from 9/11 or terrorist beheadings--too gruesome. United 93 was shown “too soon.” Those poor families have had to listen to that lunatic rant before they have even buried their children.

All of this material should have been sent directly to the FBI and it should have been quietly filed away never to have seen the light of day. The material would then be used to profile the next “would be” killer.

This Cho idiot admits being influenced by the Columbine losers.

And what publicized event influenced the Columbine killers? There is not necessarily rhythm or reason to these things. Let these morons come out of the woodwork now...while authorities are watching for them.

There was one school today that went on lockdown because someone reported seeing a transvestite nearby....

There in not a media outlet in America that would not have broadcast the information if it had fallen in their hands.

I'm not so much aqainst the fact that it was aired, as I am with how. I know of not one person in this country that is strapped in front of a tv, or does not have access to a remote control or "off" button, so nobody was/is forced to watch it. That said, if NBC was going to do it, I think it would have been best to show it in its entirety, start to finish one time, instead of incessantly repeating excerpts from it.

I suspect this would've made him really look like the true psycho he is, and remove any doubts about the level of malevolence in him. As NBC did it, one is left guessing what they edited out and why, while the parts the editors wanted us to see are continuously repeated, and the all the hype for the footage has the effect of lionizing the killer as somebody special.

Granted it would have ended up being recorded an readily available all over the place (as the excerpts are now), but the whole thing would have been out there for the record.

The Peduca KY shootings? But sure, I get your point. I am only saying that the publicity may be one small aggravating factor. Possibly, in maybe even one case, it may be a decisive factor. We can not know.

The event itself has set off the KOOKS out there. No better time to kick people than when they are down. The ones who are serious are suffering from ‘crime envy’.

If the threat was made wednesday night, why did it take until thursday to put the schools under lockdown? Why didn’t they just cancel classes thursday instead?

The Jihadists were watching Virginia Tech and taking notes and are plotting as we speak.

Security must be increased at any place large numbers of children congregate.

As these lunatics demonstrated in Russia, they know the best way to hurt people is through their children,

And being cowardly dogs who are unwilling and unable to confront men, they stoop to actions against the most helpless in society.

You're right...it may be. And the bagger at the grocery store not bagging their groceries carefully enough might be an aggravating factor too. Who knows what's going to make them snap. But if it causes one whack-job to surface after the horrid acts of another, then let him surface while the alert is up.

Exactly and just what Rush said, too. He said NBC loved it, especially the bit about him ranting about “rich” kids, because it fits their template. Sick bastards. I feel so upset for those parents.

If I was in charge of a network, I’d tell the news division they can only run photos like Cho’s if they had a caption like “Yes: the shooter had a small penis”, “probable virgin” or “loser” plastered over them. THAT might help discourage copycats.

Absolutely, but if there are no more mass murders, ratings would suffer.

I agree...show it all or none. It does leaves questions as to what was edited out. As much as I dislike NBC, I doubt any other news organization would have chosen NOT to air it is some form or another.

So far, seven law enforcement agencies — Sutter County Sheriff, Yuba County Sheriff, Marysville police, Yuba City police, Placer County Sheriff, West Sacramento police and the state Department of Justice — have fanned out looking for Carney.

By early afternoon, Parker said there were multiple police actions including Yuba City police department’s SWAT team surrounding an area where Carney’s car may have been found.
