"Loner" Kills 33 at Virginia Tech
After waiting all night for information about his daughter, the father finally found out this morning that she didn't survive. He told reporters, "My baby didn't make it." My baby didn't make it. The intimate words of one father are more heartbreaking than a hundred candlelight vigils or scripted condolences, however well-intentioned.
Revealing digression. BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP)—The gunman in the Virginia Tech massacre was a
sullen loner who alarmed professors and classmates with his twisted,
violence-drenched creative writing and left a rambling note in his dorm
room raging against women and rich kids.
Jarring juxtaposition. "Glock has just announced the introduction of a new compact version, called the Model 19. The Glock's remarkable record of success in just four years is matched by its even more remarkable design. Glock's only condescension to conventionality is the pistol's method of operation. Short recoil operated, the barrel is locked to the slide by a single lug which recesses into the ejection port." For sale: Glock Model 19 9MM semi auto pistol. $499.95.
