Just watching this now..shocking stuff.

I don't want to open the whole gun debate thing again, but would like to make an observation on one interview I've seen so far during it.

There was a bloke talking about how important the concealed carry permit is on school/college campuses, and how it has to be concealed or it wouldn't be effective.
Tbh, if I was going to go (completely fucking nuts tbh) after a few people in particular and I suspected that some people might be carrying concealed weapons, then I probably wouldn't take any chances and shoot everyone I saw until I'd completed my objective. Just in case someone pulled a gun on me.

I reckon that most people in a sane state of mind would think before shooting someone dead, and end up killed anyway because the screwball on the rampage won't stop to make the same consideration.


anyhoo..much mentalness (I've seen one bloke blame it on the prevalence of Prozac as a lazy arsed control measure)


*edit* Changed the link...the first one was a terrible link to the programme >> http://exiledonline.com/going-postal-documentary-airing-on-bbc-two-this-monday-may-26/ probably nsfk/nsfw

Oops you did it again...

I know..

It didn't start that way..honest.
It was meant to be one wee observation and then one thing led to another, and before I knew it there was worms all over the floor..

Personally, I see governmental social engineering in that show. Nothing better to engineer social policy than a well scripted documentary.

Engineered by which government though?

The documentary is by the American author of the book of the same name.
