Texas college stabbings not news because no gun involved?

[Darnell 8,479]

I'll keep my ears and ears peeled for it, but it's doubtful the news crews or even the experts who give backgrounders on air ,

are gonna make the same attempt that yer trying, to link getting cut with a boxcutter to rape.

I really really doubt them fellas are gonna attempt the same linkage that yer attempting, via silly questions.

Why you shifting like this, mon ? I pay attention to that stuff on that campus, as my son is there attending classes.

Has anyone been able to determine whether the stabbees were dresses in a manner, that might indicate to the stabber, they were asking to be stabbed?

I can't stop laughing about this

2 women shot at Virginia community college

Two women were shot Friday at a New River Community College campus located inside a mall in Christiansburg, Virginia, a city spokeswoman said.

The suspected shooter has been taken into custody, spokeswoman Becky Wilburn said in a statement.

"The mall is presently being cleared of shoppers and to ensure there are no further victims," she said midafternoon.

"At this time, we do not believe there is any continuing threat to the community at large."

One victim was flown by helicopter; the other took an ambulance to a hospital, according to Wilburn.

No details were offered on the women's identities or conditions, nor was any information released on the suspected shooter.

Around 1:55 p.m., someone called 911 to report a person with a gun and shots being fired within the southwest Virginia community college's satellite location. Officers were on site within five minutes.

A woman who worked at a mall clothing store near the campus said the business locked down.

"We were a little in disbelief at first but we saw people running away from that area," Diana Greenman told CNN affiliate WDBJ.

The school announced on its Facebook page that its two campuses -- one in Dublin, Virginia, and the other at New River Valley Mall, where the incident occurred -- had been closed. Saturday's classes were canceled.

Montgomery County Schools were briefly locked down, but that order was later lifted.

Ah, now we're back to normal.

This will happen more often while gun control legislation is debated in Congress. It's part of Obama's gun confiscation plan.

The guy who did it posted about it on 4chan /b/ before he did it: http://gawker.com/5994549/the-virginia-mall-shooting-was-announced-in-advance-on-4chan

Minutes before an unidentified gunman opened fire at a Virginia mall on Friday afternoon, a user of the 4chan message boards seemingly announced his plans to undertake a mass shooting, providing exact details of the location and timing of the coming spree.

"Hey /b/ it's time," he wrote at 1:52 p.m., addressing the anarchic and gleefully amoral /b/ subboard. (4chan has a high rate of turnover, and the thread has since been deleted, most likely automatically; we were provided with an archive and screenshots.)

New River Community College has a satellite location in the New River Valley Mall. Around three minutes after the posting, Christianburg police received a 911 call that someone with a gun was at the college site with a gun. The shooter managed to injure two women—both now in the hospital—before being taken into custody. Police have indicated that they believe the shooter, who has not been publicly identified, was acting alone.

We have reached out to Christiansburg Police, and the contact information on Neil MacInnis' website, and will update when we hear back.
