    So the Shooter at VA Tech wrote a play called mister Brownstowne. Here is a link http://news.aol.com/virginia-tech-s...mr-brownstone-title-page/20070417141309990001 It is titled after the Guns N' Roses song of same name. In one stanza of the song the lyrics are "The show usually starts around seven/ we go onstage around nine." His first 2 shootings were around 7:00 and then he waited 2 hours when the next 30 shootings started at around 9:00. Do you think this is a coincidence?

    If I was going on a shotting spree, I'd take my iPod.

    The young man was not lucid, he had no real feeling at the time. Music to him most likely had no importance @ the time. I wonder if he shot anyone using their iPods :shrug:

    I wonder if anyone was listening to their iPod cranked up and didn't hear the sounds of murder and mayhem

    As stated in the media, he planned this well-ahead of time. It's not a coincidence that he timed his shootings in advance.

    Of course it is nothing but a meaningless coincidence.
    I read they plays.
    They were both extraordinarily badly written, self-absorbed, teenage angsty bullshit from a sad kid.
    Nothing more, nothing less.

    Hmm. Interesting.

    It seems a little simple for a college student. Maybe I'm being a little picky, but it doesn't seem that good.

    The content is a little bizarre, though I wouldn't say it was macabre at all. Clearly some anger there.

    Especially a fourth-year English student!

    I wonder if it's not really his.
    It was given to the news by other students claiming it was his...

    So then were 7 & 9 planned specifically?

    Why was it of course a coicidence?
    He obviously attached some meaning to the song.
    He obviously did alot of planning.
    Were all the Beatles references Manson left behind just coincidences too?

    Obviously the Beatles should be banned as terrorists for using their songs as WMDs.
