It's a page on the Carnegie Mellon University server (I think), that treats mass shootings as a "game" and scores them according to a set of sick criteria.
Here's an example:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>The LIRR Horror
[12/07/93] Long Island -- A man opens fire while on a crowded commuter train. He calmly walks down the aisle shooting random people in their heads. Most other passengers panic, and attempt to flee the car, piling up at the doors. Gunman is tackled and held by three passengers when he pauses to reload for the second time.
ee
4 kills 40
2 fatal wounds 16
16 woundings 64 We'll assume that half of these were reasonably minor
resolution -10 Overpowered by bystanders? Gimme a break.
weapon choice 5 "Rapid-fire pistol" ideal for cramped situations
style 10 Reports show him as perfectly calm throughout
method 5 Random, but methodical and dedicated
location 10 Crowded train. Kul!
selection 2 Just random people he hated.
bonus! 5 For being able to reload that first time
total 147 Wow![/quote]
All right, I agree in freedom of speech -- but this sort of things is another slap in the face for normal gunowners who are as appalled at serial shootings as anyone else.
