I found out about this at work last night while I was on break. I caught the second half of the story at first, and was under the impression that it happened in my city until the ticker rolled by later mentioning that it was in Colorado. That was a relief.

Such a horrible situation though. I can't imagine what could possess someone to do something like this at all, much less premeditate it for as long as this guy obviously has. I wonder what his excuse for doing it is?

I don't really know what to say about it all.

I will say that I don't care about this piece of shit's motivation. It means nothing to me, and he doesn't deserve that kind of consideration.

I'm disgusted and ashamed, but I'm also proud of the people who kept their heads and helped each other during this madness.

I have nothing really to say either. I just wish the media was less obnoxious about it. I'm sorry and wish the victims and their families well, but I haven't stopped hearing about it since 4:30 this morning, and most of it is just repeating information we already had. It frankly gets on my nerves a bit.

Will the rat tail ever make a comeback? I hope so. If Beiber grew one it could be all the rage.

I'd much rather the mullet come back. We need to bring back the 80's version of patriotism, where its all about getting babes and driving fast cars and getting burgers after saving the president because you're such a bad dude.

Anyways, the mullet never died. Just hibernated.

^DUDE!

Just saw a mullet. No joke, just came back from SHEETZ gasoline & grub and there was an entire redneck family, no joke, wearing matching air brushed t-shirts that had the confederate flag on them and read either "Southern Guy" or "Southern Gal".

I should have cut the brake line on their Caravan.

I still see mullets occasionally. There are just less people driving ratty, primer spotted late 70s/early 80s Camaros and Firebirds to complete the picture.

.... I kinda have a mullet, but not exactly. A bit to long in the rest of the hair...


I have to wonder how many people acually know where the word redneck comes from. I also have to wonder when it became a slightly more offensive term.
