A Cornucopia of Links on the Virginia Tech Massacre

First and foremost, my deepest sympathies, condolences, and prayers go out to the deceased and all their families. This is a horrible tragedy and the worst school massacre in the history of our country. Other than the completely proper mourning, remembrance, and grieving, this is not a time for knee-jerk political reactions, runaway emoting, large-scale gun seizure, or any other such idiocy. Rather, it is a time for reflection on how this happened, how to prevent it happening again, and calling on the carpet every moron socialist who would exploit this tragedy to take away yet more of our ever-eroding freedoms. In that vein, here are some links on heroism in the face of tragedy, part of the idiocy in high places that set the stage for this tragedy, and some vicious, might, righteous swings of the cluebat to the skulls of the resident mushbrains who want to make it easier for such tragedies (or worse) to happen again...read them all.

HEROES

From Emperor Misha, here is the story of a brave VT professor and Holocaust survivor sacrificing himself for the lives of his students. In death, he became the civilian equivalent of Jason Dunham, Rafael Peralta, and countless other military heroes who laid down their lives for their fellow man. May God welcome him and bring peace to his grieving loved ones.

ACCESORIES

Once again, from Emperor Misha, we can thank the Virginia Legislature and the gun-grabbing ninnies at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence for making sure that the gunman on the Blacksburg campus was the only one carrying heat on that fateful day. I sometimes wonder how it must feel to be accessories in the snuffing out of thirty-three human lives, but unlike these crime-enabling slapnuts, I'm glad I don't know and hope I won't have to find out.

CLUEBAT HOME RUN CHAMPIONS

The silver medalist is Emperor Misha, who absolutely lays waste to a mainstream media moron (pardon the redundnacy) suggesting a repeal of the Second Amendment before the victims are even named and before their bodies are cold and in the ground.

But the co-gold medalists and Clue Bat Home Run Champions are the ever wise Mrs. DuToit, who preaches more common sense re: gun policy and the Second Amendment than the entire MSM combined here and here, and dispenses massive doses of wisdom re: living like a sheepdog and not a sheep here, and Greg at Gonzo's Bar and Go Go Grill, who mercilessly lays the verbal smackdown to liberals, anti-gun ding dongs, and VA Tech Administrators everywhere here. All I can say is DAMN! That will leave a mark and ruin some folks' rest of the week...HAHA!
