PA: Today's shooting atrocity - August 4, 2009

[seamusTX]

Very "fair and balanced" editorial in the New York Daily News:

Gun dealer in Pittsburgh gym shooting and Virginia Tech massacre rakes in blood money

Online gun dealer Eric Thompson should change the name of his business to merchantofdeath.com. Or maybe Rampages R Us.

Call it truth in advertising.

Thompson's two odious Web sites have helped arm three mass murderers in as many years ...

This is labeled an editorial, so I am assuming that it is the official position of the paper, not one person's opinion.

George Sodoni, the shooter in this case, reportedly got on a bus during morning rush hour on July 28, pulled a hand grenade out of a computer bag, and asked another passenger if the passenger wanted to hold it. The passenger got off the bus. He called the police several hours later (inexplicably).

Police staked out the bus station where Sodoni had boarded the bus and encountered him several days later. They questioned and searched him, finding nothing. The passenger who reported the incident was unable to positively identify a photograph of Sodoni and the man who had the hand grenade.

Writings found in Sodoni's home after the shooting link him to the bus incident.
