Crews were called to the mall minutes after a user identifying himself as MacInnis posted a message on the Internet board 4chan.org implying that he was about to fire a shotgun inside the mall. The user posted a picture of the New River Valley Mall entrance near New River Community College on the board at 1:52 p.m, saying “It’s time,” along with a link to the local police scanner feed.

Re: “He linked the local police scanner feed to his online message board.”

Well, that's creative.

Expect new tragic variations on this psychopathic P.R. gimmick every week or so.

Re: “I think there is a reason why these guys wipe their hard drives.”

Yeah, it’s called teenage fear of having the intimate details of your sad, pointless, lonely life exposed on national television.

Very good point ~ but at 17 is he actually active in Democrat politics ~ like was he out there pushing Kaine materials under doors or something? (NOTE: no registration by party in Virginia).

Interesting that he came out in the open early ~ but Jarred did that, and there've been others ~ Holmes comes to mind. They didn't give a place and time but they all suggest that WE are their problem.

Brent Kimberlin, a bomb tosser, became a big buddy of Algore's with his promise to tie George Bush to mariuana use ~ some Democrats tried to turn Brent into a major spokesman for maor Democrat party positions!

They do that. They are crazy. Being a Democrat is a mental illness
