VA Tech Tradegy

h/t Thinking on the Margin (who picked this up from Glenn Reynolds)

7:14 PM
For now, all anyone can justify in speaking is grief for the dead, hope for the injured, and condolences for the parents and relatives of the victims. Anything more, at this time, would be in bad form.


Update 10:51PM

There's nothing faster than Internet Time, it seems. We have a tradegy, and already every pundit in the world is lining up to shout at another pundit. There's been a student at VT, an Asian Student who just so happens to like guns, and Ann Coulter, who was considered as the shooter, and has had death threats, but he isn't the killer...he's posted back at the critics. Asshats, to jump so fast on so little.

The best coverage of this nightmare is at over at Hot Air.

There's certainly plenty of 'hot air' displaced, most of it by gun control vs. no, no gun control camps.

From the Internet's best blogger, Jeff Goldstein:
Meanwhile, the sociologists at the Democratic Underground are in thesis-framing mode, already placing the blame where it belongs—with the NRA. Because clearly, had we simply banned guns, nobody would have been hurt. And in fact, as one commenter at Hot Air pointed out, because guns are already illegal at Virginia Tech, this shooting must never really have taken place. See? Reality-based.

Next up: ban war, bring about peace! Because life is just like a shiny gold bottle with a progressive genie inside. Just keep rubbing!

At any rate, let’s not emulate these idiots and jump to our own reckless conclusions. My thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of the victims.
Again, time to reflect, and wait for some facts.
