I agree.

The perp has a Facebook but I doubt he is going to friend anyone right now

“Its not easy to decapitate a human being...this guy had to work at it for a time.”

I know! The last few I did really wore me out.

Not if you're a doctor...and you enjoy your work.

Everything in Hollywood is easy...including the women.

To avoid such fatigue in the future, I recommend a regemine of both bicep AND tricep curls, at least three times a week. So many people neglect the tricpes, and then pay for it by wearing themselves out when they need to perform a repeated sawing motion.

Did you ever read any of the stuff that Va Tech’s mass murderer, a senior English major at the school, had turned in for credit? Totally incoherent and irrational (in addition to obscene), and he still got passed along all the way to second semester senior, and the school apparently had every intention of giving him a diploma.

[gracesdad]

OK, yet another idiot. Do you really think this situation is funny?

[WayneS]

I, fortunately, only had to deal with the English Department at Tech for one year (Freshman). I was in the College of Engineering, and I took most of the rest of my “humanities” required electives (how’s that for an oxymoron) over in the History Department, which was pretty well centered at that time.

The English Departments at most colleges appear to be peopled with the sickest of the sick among our “academic elites”.

...or even a regimen...

Technically, it’s called “Gallows Humor”.

[gracesdad]

I’m familiar with gallows humor. The posters obviously aren’t familiar with when it’s appropriate.

[WayneS]

No, but for ME at least, joking about these things helps me push down the urge to DO something about them. Something that I might later, not so much REGRET, as wish I didn’t have to be imprisoned for...

I’m familiar with gallows humor. The posters obviously aren’t familiar with when it’s appropriate.

By definition, true "gallows humor" is appropriate in situations where a violent death has occured.

If gallows humor is ever appropriate, what about this situation makes it not so?

[freekitty]

That is so sad.

[AppyPappy]

Jokes about the victim are usually taboo. Jokes about the incident are expected.

He listed himself as single. She was from Bejing and he was not. I wonder if he is a cousin or something.

He is smiling in all of his Facebook pics. He seems like a normal guy. Possible nickname for him was Ocean. It was on one of his pics.

[Doohickey]

This is because of the knife culture in this country. Hopefully, Tech will take the lead and ban knives from campus permanently.

Obviously he missed Rev. Joseph, how Lowery can you goery's speech at the Obamapalooza show on Tuesday. He said, and I quote:

"we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around — when yellow will be mellow — when the red man can get ahead, man — and when white will embrace what is right."

Yellow is supposed to be mellow. If anything, it's the red man who can get a head, man.
