Myspace to blame for colorado shooting

According to fellow poster dunkman guns are to blame for the school shooting..which i agree that a gun was used in the school shooting that left an innocent teenager dead. But the main source of the pre-conceived murder was Myspace.com...should myspaced be banned now in america? Huh Dunkman?

BAILEY, Colorado (CNN) -- The gunman who shot and killed a high school student after holding her and five other girls hostage had asked for students by name, a Colorado county sheriff said Friday.

Duane Morrison, who killed himself after fatally shooting Emily Keyes, 16, molested all six girls, said Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener. The sheriff didn't know "how much or to what degree."

Morrison had gone up to a male student and asked about the identities of "a list of female students," Wegener said. He didn't know which, if any, of the girls he took hostage in a classroom were on that list.

Investigators were aware of rumors that Morrison may have researched his victims on MySpace.com, an online community that allows users to post personal pages and network with friends, Wegener said.

And you couldn't use the internet without ... Computers.

If we just banned computer monitors, I think it would solve this problem.

You can't actually kill someone with a website. It's virtual. It's not physical, and no real bullets come out of it. Honest. (If they did, I'd have shot some of you fuckers long ago. ) But you can kill someone with guns.

Logic's a wonderful thing, innit?

You can kill someone with a computer though. So, by using logic, they should be banned.

Well yes, it is a wonderful thing. You cannot kill a specific person with a gun if you cannot find them, either. Hmm?

(I am mostly just playing along here, but there is a good point buried in all the silliness).

And the attached hands. After all, you can strangle people with hands and fingers.

Well, I say they should ban schools in Colorado, then.

No logic at all...without myspace and the internet the killer wouldnt have been able to find the identity of the school children...hence stopping the whole crime. He could have killed the children with a knife instead as long as he had their myspace remembered

He could have invaded and taken over a school without MySpace. He couldn't have done it without a gun. You can't hold an entire town at bay if your weapon is a tire iron. Unless you're a martial arts master, you probably couldn't even prevent the kids in the class from kicking your sorry ass.

Give the kid a spoon and he could kill one or two on his way to being subdued. Nobody ever talks about banning spoons though. Except airlines but they will probably ban air soon since you can't kill if you can't breathe.

WHat about us law abiding citizens who have guns...should we have to pay for some lunatic who cant obey the law? What about my 2nd amendement right to own a gun?

None of the rights outlined in the Bill of Rights is absolute in today's America.

Plenty of logic.

Myspace did not clearly cause this homicidal predator's illness: it merely provided him with a dangerous outlet for his fixations and fantasies. The likelihood that he might have stormed a school one day and done a similar act can certainly not be discounted.

Let's make an analogy here, a good one. Let's accept the official line, that Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon. Mark Chapman found out where Lennon was living, at the Dakota in New York, through reading a magazine article about the singer, late in 1980. Should the magazine be banned, for providing that info? Sure, Chapman might not have killed Lennon otherwise, but given his fragile psychological state, it's likely he would have killed somebody in other circumstances - no?



The choice of weapon is significant, because running into a school and trying to take it over, armed with a knife, is going to get a psycho with intentions to kill and molest less far than having a gun. The gun serves his perverted purpose better. It's far more effective. It facilitates his plan.

Again its not the guns fault..but the person using the gun. Guns do plenty of good in this world..hell how can i hunt deer without it?
