As a late update to the last post regarding the LiveJournal that was reported to have belonged to the man responsible for the Virginia Tech school shootings, it has now been confirmed that the journal's owner is very much alive, sane, and non-murderous:
Coming out. I am not the shooter. Through this experience, I havereceived numerous death threats, slanderous accusations, and my phoneis out of charge from the barrage of calls. Local police have beennotified of the situation.
My original intention was to wait until I got AdSense on my site anddonating all the proceeds to Charity. However, this situation has nowspiraled out of control. I am now confirming that I am not the shooter.
I will be available for interview by a news agency to clear my name,
talk about the experience, and give my opinion on how the situationcould have turned out better if other students were allowed to bearmed. I will speak with individuals who are interested in donating tocharities resulting from today's events. Please e-mail allcorrespondence to null@vt.edu
And there we have it, a good-natured hoax gone awry.
