i'm gonna shut up on this now,

before i piss everyone off.

 it's a very emotive subject, that i am very emotive about, as stated earlier (dunblane).

the usa obviously has got a lot of soul searching to do, but for now, i am saving my thoughts and wishes for the victims and their surviving  families.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church planned to picket the funerals of these poor kids. They claim that this shooting is their god's punishment for the gay marriage legalisation. One of the members tweeted that they were going down to picket. In response to this, Anonymous hacked the 'church'es website and the twitter account of the person organising the picket.

I cannot get my head around this response to tragedy from so called 'Christians'.

In regard to gun control in the U.S. I'm gonna follow ORH's lead and shut the hell up. What I said I'd do and what I shoulda done all along.

In regards to Westboro. They are a bunch of lawyers who just try to provoke people into doing something wrong so they can sue and make some money. They are heartless pieces of crap, imo.

I despise them. By the way, The Anonymous Group have just declared 'war' on the Westboro goons...

I was watching the whole thing unfold on twitter yesterday, it seems that they are being targetted by just about every hacker on the planet, and there are two petitions on the White House site, one to get the IRS to investigate their tax exempt status (!) and one to have them declared as a hate organisation.
