I just don’t understand how shooting up a school makes people any less racist or hateful towards minorities. It kills people and is completely ineffective
11 years ago at 1:01 amPeople who threaten to shoot up other people aren’t exactly right in the head to begin with.
11 years ago at 2:26 amThe real retribution would be if this kid were punched in the throat until he couldn’t feel feelings anymore.
11 years ago at 1:21 amOr if he suck started his rifle
11 years ago at 12:08 pmThis is what happens when Alabama has a bye week
11 years ago at 1:44 amWasn’t a bye week. They played Florida.
11 years ago at 9:23 amThis was completely blown out of proportion, I go here and friends in tut were on lockdown for about an hour and then everything went back to normal. People need to stop publicizing some assholes 15 minutes of fame cause thats what they get off too.
11 years ago at 2:05 amHa, your justification for ignorant racist is threatening, and yes it’s taken as a threat (not really sure what else I’d take that as? a love note?), to shoot up people? hmm. Doesn’t really sound like much of a resolution to me. You should try a different tactic… moron.
11 years ago at 2:06 amWe all agree fuck this guy I hope he gets castrated and hung by his neck. I know this is a humor site and we make fun of GDI’s but like Charles Barkley said there are the really shitty people greek or not that fuck it up for the cool people. All this hatred just needs to stop.
11 years ago at 2:27 amHatred will never stop, no matter how much social conditioning you brainwash society with.
11 years ago at 7:00 pmObviously this dude isn’t going to strike right after he writes the comment.
11 years ago at 2:28 amThe idiot spelled his own name wrong.
11 years ago at 8:12 amI can’t wait for the media to explain how this is somehow the Greek system’s fault.
11 years ago at 8:32 amHe didn’t get a bid, felt rejected, is gay, was rejected again when hitting on brothers on Rush Week. Therefore; the Greek system is entirely at fault, along with the Republican Party.
11 years ago at 10:05 pmWhat a total ass hat. Fuck this guy and whatever kind of joke he thought this was. Fuck you!
