Apparently, the latest "official story" about the VA Tech shootings is that the gunman was "made" to do it by a young woman who broke up with him/cheated on him/wouldn't give him enough attention/whatever.

At least, that's how they're spinning it.

Do I need to say what an absolute travesty it is that they are even implying that this young woman was somehow responsible for, or provoked, or "sparked", this massacre? Even the barest implication of it is monstrous.

(Never mind that she did not, after all, have any prior relationship with the shooter.)

Somewhere in England there's a newswriter I want to smack. Several times. With something heavy.

Don't believe anything you read in the Metro. It's a free tabloid-style commuter-paper published by the same people as The Daily Mail (who before WWII were fascist apologists, if not outright supporters). Its headlines and articles are often misguided, incendiary and just plain inaccurate.

Oh, good heavens, I'm not about to believe what they say. I'm mad that they said it at all.

It's a crappy tabloid, but I commented anyway, for all the good it'll do.

Fuck them.
