Take my name of the so-called "High Road" member list

Posters to address VT shooting
Give me ideas and info. I am short on sleep an not feeling very creative. Let's figure out the captions and concepts together, then I'll produce the visuals.

People are in shock over this event and victims are being tended to. And the first priority for the owner of this forum and his jump-on-the-wagon cronies is to figure out how make political hay of the event. Including a suggestion to misuse an image from Kent State.

I'm done with you people.

EDIT: I was so worked up i failed to see I mistyped "off" in my header.
 
Oleg, see if you can get feelsafe.jpg published in a VT local paper ASAP.
I'm sure we could get you the funds needed for an ad.

That one, being visceral, works. (The others seem too clinically clean for what happened today.)
 
There was a film from a cell phone video, shot during the murders, shown on the net, and on the TV. What could have happened if that cell phone had been a sidearm?

Oleg, fantastic work, and fast too. The second is a real gut grabber, and needs WIDE distribution.

PS,eidsvolling, ABC news has a gun control poll up on thier website already, based on this incident. Is that OK in your world?
 
Political hay? People are dead, and we're objecting to the laws that ensured they would be. You got a better suggestion? We'd love to hear it.
 
eidsvolling---see ya, you don't seem to understand what is at stake here..



Oleg: If it is true he lined people up and killed them excecution style you could use one of the many pictures from the Holocaust where people were lined up and shot in font of a mass grave. Then use a second photo showning modern dressed folk in the same situation in a classroom.

With a caption like "Poland 194X --VT 2007, the same laws, the same results."
 
I really like AmishBill's idea. I would be willing to bet there are more students in college now because of benefits they received for military time. If these students could be trusted to carry arms in defense of their country why shouldn't they be able to carry arms with a legal state issued CCW. Personally I don't even care if they don't have a CCW as long as they carry responsibly.

On the other hand I don't think it is a good idea to imply this could have all been prevented if students/faculty/employees were allowed to carry. It is quite possible the number of victims would be less but even that is assuming at least one person with a gun was either in the dorm/classroom or would have been close enough to get there in just a very short period of time. I do think the possibility of there being someone in the classroom would have given the shooter second thoughts. Then again maybe he wanted "suicide by cop/ccw.

Personally I would like to know what the shooter was doing for the nearly two hours he was on campus after the first shooting. It almost makes one think the whole thing was planned. The shooter killed those he wanted in the dorm and knew about how much time he would have until the "police" called the search off. Lay low for that time while he waited for a specific class to be in session then shot and killed a sizeable number of students in that class after which he either took his own life or some LEO finally took him out. I would also like to know why there have been no reports of bullets flying around the campus. It almost makes it sound as if this guy was the equal, if not better than, the top IDPA shooters and was able to take everyone out with just one or two shoots, reload so fast no one could jump him, then continue.

Sorry about the long winded reply but another thought just came to mind. What made the police think they had completely searched something like 100 bldgs and 2600 acreas of campus in something short of two hours? Did they have reason to believe there was only one shooter and in their custody until the second shootings or were there two shooters all along? Were there two shooters and the shootings completely unrelated, just a tragic coincidence as to the timing?
 
Let's all deliver gift baskets and prayers of apologies to the victims. Because in times of shock and tragedy, free speech in discussion boards are to be indefinitely suspended. :rolleyes:

I concur.
 
You could have folks lined up with a gunman before them, and about the 3rd one down has a pistol behind his back ready to use.
 
Let's not lose perspective. A campus should be a safe haven for students and students shouldn't feel the need to be armed, but on this day, a gun totin fruitcake, for whatever warped reason turned classrooms into killing fields.

I dare say this individual is no more of a threat to our gun rights than some of the nonsensical extremist views being spewed here.

If you want to be pissed at someone, go after whomever is responsible for the crap that filled this person's head, leading to the rational that this was necessary.:fire:
 
I am thinking a uniformed officer standing over a body with a " possee box " or notepad looking sad, captioned with something like " I get here in time to investigate and prosecute crimes but i cannot keep you safe CCW is for YOUR protection " .
 
The blood splater pic is too much (perhaps a bookbag with a 1911), but the wording is good.

The first pic design and pic is good but the last words are awkward. "on pain of explustion" could use some work, perhaps "or will be expelled" etc.

Don't forget many faculty and staff wish to be armed as well but can't or they will get fired. You could also do a poster for them as well.
 
Not sure what the image would be but text could be done in the style of a propoganda poster circa 1940 with text something like:

Virginia Tech University, 2007

At [insert time], a psychopath kills a university student in [his/her] apartment

He roams free for two hours, killing 32 innocent people before police arrive

But DON'T WORRY CITIZEN! The police WILL protect you!
 
Politicizing Death

I was anticipating some empty skirt as Savvage is wont to say run in screaming politicization!!! at the top of their lungs.

Well I give the other side 12 hrs before they are on this story like a fat kid on a dougnut. We have the truth and logical thought on our side today (I think) we got to it first. "Boo freaking hoo" - Michelle Malkin I am sorry we had a big shooting but the point is valid if even one student had had a side arm there would possibly only have been one death, that of the shooter.

So if "politicizing" this tragedy allows us the right (which is a right and cannot be taken away but it is anyway ***?!?) to protect each other (afik the only reason to carry to protect each other) then I am 100% behind it no I am 200% behind it. If this is offends your Liberalized "FEEEEELINGS" then I think you are more than welcome to scram.

"I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty, and visitors feel safe on our campus."
VT: Don't worry when you're on our campus! We only allow murderers to have guns.
 
Uh, I was dressing my hot dawg in the cafeteria when it all went down!!!

OK, it was just an example, not a production piece... be gentle...
:cool:
 
Across the top in big text

Do not go gentle
into that good night

white/light colored cinderblock wall ala the kind you see in classrooms

spots for 5 people, but only the 2 on the farthest right are there, pictured about pelvis height on up, frightened as all hell backed up against the wall

Of course spots 1, 2, 3, splatter and smear of red

Leaving more room at the bottom, picture should not be perfectly centered middle, but leaving about 30-40% space at the bottom

Text for below picture

Anything X <--small pic of scissors
Bite Claw kick Scream
