When Art says it, it's an euphemism. :naughty:

It's not really a euphemism, Charles Whitman was the first modern spree killer. An ex-marine and student at the University of Texas, he went on a shooting rampage which ended up on the 28th floor observation deck of the clock tower at the University. 16 were killed and 32 injured during the massacre on August 1 1966.
I don't really believe OlegL is a spree killer I just tease him with this historical (though morbid) fact.

Thanks for the info. I never heard of Charles Whitman before.

I'm sure I've told you about about Charles Whitman before, it must be the alzheimers. :blink:

Just as long as you don't emulate him we'll all get along swimmingly :naughty:

Interesting factoid 228a: During his autopsy it was discovered that Charles Whitman had an invasive lesion of the brain, a Glioblastoma. This was such as to affect both his emotions and judgement, so in his case the psychotic break was truly unfortunate.

I'm just gonna change it back.

"He was allegedly looking for a female when the shooting took place on Monday ... They disrespected him, laughed at him," Mr Jordan said. "They made fun of his lack of English-speaking skills. It made him feel isolated compared to the other members."
"We've learned that the suspect was upset with the administration. He was also upset that members in the past mistreated him, disrespected him, and things of that nature. He was having, we believe, some behavioural problems and was asked to leave several months ago."



With you lot of shitty shits spewing all your shit and bile and lying on the internets, it's no wonder people get shot in the face with guns.
There is a price, and it will be paid.
