Gunman Opens Fire During "The Dark Knight Rises"

[aephi alum]

Setting the gun control debate aside for the moment...

Guess what?

Those attention whores at the Westboro Baptist Church are at it again. They are planning to "super picket" a prayer vigil for the shooting victims. They are tweeting away about it, with such lovely hashtags as "#ThankGodForTheShooter".

Interesting to see how this translates to red and blue states. I also had to idea that Michigan was so populated..... (or if it isn't, there are just a lot of gun and motor vehicle deaths there).


ETA: Since I'm a number/ math nerd, this was interesting to me. DC is high up there with the guns, as are the Virgin Islands (whoa!)

This makes me think that being in Massachusetts I have a good chance of not being killed by vehicle or gun. Now I just need to avoid the coyotes that hang out by my car early in the morning when I'm going to work....

Michigan is the 8th largest state in terms of population. It was higher before the "depression" here. We've lost almost about a half million people since 2005.

Not laughing at the horribleness if the tradegy but LOL at "super picket". WTF does that mean?

"Let's put 'super' in front of it...that'll show everyone we REALLY mean it!"
