I really hope this isn't true........but if it is....I could see it getting really ugly.

I'm going to post it in the interest of news. I doubt they'll get any more press out of this here.

Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. "They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads" (Eze. 7:18).

Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. On April 16, 2007, this nation, through the offices of your military and conspirators therewith took a shot at the servants of God -- your marksman was limp and lame and he had terror all around, so he did a lousy job. But what you get for your trouble is that your God shot at you! The LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children, and he didn't miss. Get this straight -- God sent this South Korean madman to kill 31 of your children at Virginia Tech. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants.

Ok, question here. I get their normal thing of "God Hates Fags" and that soldiers die because America's in bed with the sodomites or some such idiocy. I think they're morons but they've at least articulated their moronic point.

But are they really saying that yesterday, someone "shot" at the servants of God and so God's getting back by shooting college students? WTF are they referring to? They said that the people shooting at the "servants of God" missed. Again, did something else happen at 7:00 AM EDT yesterday that they're trying to connect here? Or are they just more off their rockers than usual?

Side note: The vast majority of the WBC is Phelps' family. He raised them all to be good little brainwashed lawyers which is how they slap a lawsuit on everyone as fast as possible.

I hope the Patriot Guard Riders will stand guard if it becomes necessary. Those guys are awesome.

ETA: Damn I got distracted while posting. Y'all beat me to it.
The Patriot Guard
I know it's outside of their normal duties, but they're the best guys for the job.

My thoughts are with the friends and families of all the students and faculty at VT. I lost a sister suddenly in college (bacterial meningitis) and I have been a different person ever since then. Having a strong support system like friends and sorority sisters helps tremendously though; I'm thankful they can lean on each other during this difficult time.
So we have heard that a Kappa Kappa Gamma woman lost her life, and two Pi Beta Phis and an Alpha Delta Pi were injured. Are there any others? Any fraternity men? Our alumnae panhellenic group here in Madison are going to be sending sympathy cards (the least we can do), so if anyone hears anything, please update us all.
As it can be found on their website, I thought I would post the general address for VT's office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, in case anyone else wants to send condolences...

Take care, everybody,
Fraternally,

Thanks to GMA, I *think* I know what he is referring to and that is the attack on the Branch Davidian compound that happened this week back in 1993. DOn't quote me on this though but that's the only thing I could come up with.

GMA was showing a timeline of mass killings and unfortuantely, this week in April was very popular. (Branch Davidians / OKC bombing / Columbine/ and now VT).
