Protecting your children...
...doesn't stop when they grow up. Teach them to save themselves.
Not sure on the photo.

velojym: Good idea and caption... perhaps someone with access to a more reasonable 'blood facsimile' can re-work the image? Even without the blood, it'd still be a powerful image, though it'd need a bit more text to attribute it to this event.
Had to smile at the ketchup, though... There's precious little to be smiling about today.
God Bless the victims and their families.

Like the FarSide cartoon, "It's OK Billy, it's not real ketchup."

Why? I, for one, am outraged that it was "feel good" politics that contributed in large part to the high body count today.
We are not "taking advantage" of others' loss, we are trying to inform and influence others in order to prevent it from happening again!

How's this Oleg;
One Armed Citizen.
I ate at Luby's in Killeen, 2 years before that shooting, I have friends at VT, and take a look at my location.
I really hate the idea of being sheep. This is what we as Americans have become.
I am a reporter, and I have a weekly column, this week's subject, the attempts by the Anti's to take away my 2nd rights in Pa. It will still go, and from the attitude in my newsroom, the local "Liberal" media agree with me. One Armed Citizen would have stopped the carnage.

Perhaps two pictures; a soldier in uniform and the same guy on campus with a backpack. Under the first picture, "I dealt with armed killers all the time in Iraq..." Under the second, "Then I came home and VT disarmed me."

My anger around people that actively don't defend them selves is is only surpassed by the people who are continuing the fantasy that the world can be utopia with out firearms.
Some people will not be reasoned with, and LEOs are not there to protect individuals, self protection is your responsibility.
These kids did not have a chance between the liberal reasoning, and firearms phobia, what a bunch of BS.
OK with that rant aside how about
How come every time we disarm a group some one shoots them ??
And you folks are very creative

The NRA took the high road and issued a very brief statement about the tragedy and that they would not discuss until all of the facts come out. I don't know much, but I suspect they have quite a bit more PR experience than any of us. Instead of appearing reactionary and insensitive, why doesn't everyone take a breath and relax.

"Shooting fish in a barrel ain't much fun if even one fish has a gun" Along with a picture of a group of people rounded up but with one fighting back.
Use a photo of Larry Hincker taking guns away from good folk while ignoring an obvious psycho.
With the caption "Gun control helps who, exactly?"

32 dead students all had one thing in common....
None of them had a gun to fight back with.

Oleg, I like your poster in post #32 (I was just about to suggest it), but as LawDog mentioned in his blog entry, and as I reiterated, I don't know that more guns would have helped--I think the problem is that nobody had the courage to stand up and fight. I think there's something to that--maybe a dozen people lined up, a gunman behind the first, and text over the last "your turn is coming soon--unless you fight back." I can't quite pin down the wording I want, but you seem to have a gift for finding powerful words to accompany powerful images. Maybe something like "RISKS: if you're going to die in sixty seconds, is it worth risking that minute for the chance to prevent the execution?"

I have no photo, but a caption. Someone else will have to provide the photo.
In Virginia in 2006, HB 1572, which would have allowed handguns on college campuses, died in subcommittee.
In Virginia in 2007, 32 innocents, denied the Constitutional right to defend themselves, died on the campus of Virginia Tech at the hands of a single individual.
It could have been different. Everyone should be able to exercise the right to self-defense.

Flyboy:
The crazy is working his way towards you. Do you:
-Do Nothing
-Chance of Survival: 0%
-Fight Back
-Chance of Survival: >0%
The problem with this message - most people have a problem wrapping their heads around the idea that they're going to die RFN. They'd rather wait and see if 'something changes'. Only once a person has broken through and comprehends that they are going to be dead in x units of time can they understand that there is little difference between dying now or now+x, so lets make the guy work for my death.

how about something like
"10 seconds to decide the rest of your life"
maybe in sub text state something along the lines of
"Looking down a barrel in someone else's control isn't how I will see my last view"
On a side note: Oleg I have seen your sight before and I really enjoy it. I'd really like to see some pics with quotes as well, I feel there are several good ones here

Jesus said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

Why? Is your concern about the number of defenseless victims or their temperature? How many more people must die and become cold corpses.
Virginia Tech University created this situation in January 2006 when it lobbied against a pending bill that would have allowed people on its campus to have a last best chance of defending their lives.
The Virginia legislature cooperated with Virginia Tech.
The blood of those murdered people is on their hands, and on the hands of the politicians and public who support them.
It is not on my hands.
