Words fail me.

The best part about this is last night I just happened to run across the street to a convenience store for some small mundane food item, and it just happened to be on a night that Conspiracy Theorist Guy was behind the counter.

"Why didn't they shut down the school? They wanted it to happen. The media reports that they thought the dorm shooting was an 'isolated incident', but who controls the media? 9/11 proves that the government does. Did you know that on September 11th ...*pause*... 1991 Pres. Bush gave a New World Order speech? The New World Order is coming. I'm just trying to open your eyes to it. That's why I give 9/11 conferences."

I need to visit Conspiracy Theorist Guy every time there's a tragedy. He can really cheer you up. Just imagine standing there with a straight face listening to him.

Anyway. Murder-suicide rampages seem to be in vogue for some reason. (Why?) My recollection is that they're fairly rare at colleges, and that they tend to occur most often within engineering departments.
