I didn't answer alot of my phone calls today,as i don't like to be disturbed while in the middle of doing something.Well maybe I should have,After finishing up,I head over to my computer ,to check emails.I see an email titled emergency .One of  my close friends writes to tell me that someone that we both know has just been arrested for making "Va Tech like threats" at his job.,and is now in custody.Im floored at this point,in a daze.Apparently its all over the local and national news.Now I've known this guy for almost nine years and he would'nt  hurt a fly,I dont even think he has a gun. well I did a google search and read what happened and he mentioned his words were taking out of context,and that it was a joke. Now im not condoning or trying to make excuses for what he said. What he did was inappropriate and stuuuuuuuuuuupid,But you have to know the guy, He's alittle obscure and has a twisted sense of humor,Thats just the way he is. Im sure we all have friends that make off color remarks and that have a dark twisted sense of humor,that if  spoken at the wrong place at the wrong time the result could be disastrous.You have to really know the person and the context in which it was spoken. Right now Im just praying for him ,while awaiting further information. Im sure you might want to know the who and the what of this story.All Im going to say is, its from ST.Louis

Once a big tragedy like what happened VT everything said will be taken seriously even if the ones doing it see it all as a joke. It's NO joking matter when everything is in a panic. Your friend did take a very, very high risk just as a joke and it came back it bit him good didn't it? I understand this is a long time good friend but just like that student, he made his decision and killed innocent and good people and fellow students, your friend made a decision as well and it just so happened to be the wrong one at the wrong time and now he will pay for it. There is such a thing as A Joke Can Go Just To Far but it was his choice on how he would play that joke that may cause him or someone else grief. When he take that chance he should have thought about the consequences and be ready to except the risk. It's to late now to think twice about it! Sorry about your friend, but except his possible fate!

To that I would say this, and I make no apologies for it. Most of the time the police are out arresting the wrong people, and are very poor at gathering the facts. True, you friend shouldn't have joked about it, but it was the police who were not smart enough to discern his twisted sense of humor. Both are at fault.

I also feel maybe they jumped the gun on this one.But still these are sensitive times.Im sure he all but alienated his co workers due to him preaching AT them."Get right with God","Fire & Brimstone" the whole nine yards.He can be alittle extreme.I think he wanted to save his whole dept,Im sure they were just annoyed and now relieved.If he knew how to control himself,maybe his co workers would have backed him,instead of turn against him.

I still don't know what you are talking about, but if you are going to make an strange joke, say it to only those who really know you. Or like your friend has found out, suffer the consequences and spend time in lock up. I wish your friend the best of luck. Tell him next time to think about his foot before he inserts it in his mouth. This has saved me from saying something cold and heartless many times. Even if I find it amusing, I have to be aware that others will probably not feel the same way.

What I meant was. I didn't see this on the news, and now you have clarified this for me. Poor taste and bad timing. He scared his co-workers, after seeing the video's made by the VA Tech student's, killer, how could this not scare anyone.

i dont know how to respond on my own blog, i never did, i thought i had to respond to your blog,i never did that before,i got the recording by recording the security moniter, while i was looking at the video of what happened earlier.i dont need your simpothy trust me, i never ask nobody for nothing, i take care of my son and my wife to be,i am only 22 years old, and im doing pretty good in life.i saved my frinds life, soon he should be heard,these guys was going to kill us, thats a bad area,just yesterday somebody was murdered across the street,a school teacher.i was alone in the store,and i did what i did to save my life and his, i was lucky that he was looking at the other gun man who was telling him to kill me,while he still had his gun pointed at me.because yeah i would of died and yeah they had 2 guns.i did jump infront of my employee so they wouldnt shoot him and so that hopefully he could run out the back,and he did, leaving me by my self,you people think about what i could of done, but what would you have done at that split second.i bet you probebly would of let your employee deal with them if they would of went after him like they was saying.i have a good heart, i would give food to the homeless everyday when they would come by and i see that they hungry.i would do it out of the kindness of my heart, when have you ever gave a homeless person a plate of food from your own home and something to drink?because i have.

if pizza hut didnt want me to bring my gun to work, then they should of provided protection for all of us at that store,because i know it is a bad area and so do they.those wondows are not bullet proof and there is no security gaurd,they should of hired one, i know the pizza hut i worked at in the bronx in new york had one.if they would of provided protection i wouldnt need my gun at the store, there was nobody around ,it took the cops 10mins to get to the store after all that happened.if i wouldnt of shot, god knows how long i would of been there dead,waiting for somebody to call the cops,cause i called them fast and it still took 10mins.

I saw the sun, though it didn't shine Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time No wind to blow the silver leaves The drone of clever talk just stopped The air hangs out, hesitates [ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/1Rq ] to carry a thought Away from me And the sky colored heavy gray August Day Stir the dust and carve a rhyme Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime Will a smile break through Distant thunder and the slow dance Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance And say that I love you And the sky colored heavy gray August Day
