Vampirefreaks at Dawson College

Kimveer Gill, of Laval, north of Montreal is shown in this undated photo taken from a website. Gill is being named as the gunman in the Dawson College shootings .

In an online blog, Kimveer Gill includes a photo of a tombstone with his name printed on it - below it the phrase: "Lived fast died young. Left a mangled corpse."

The blog, posted on an online hub of goth culture, paints a dark portrait of the 25-year-old man published reports have identified as the trenchcoat-wearing gunman who opened fire on students at Montreal's Dawson College Wednesday, killing one and injuring 19 others.

I can't get into the VampireFreaks.com site, seems to be down.  The Wiki has more information on this community. 

What iIam not understanding is how can this get so far, without the authorities monitoring such online communities ? I mean Police and special crimes unit monitor online communitys for sex predators, terrorists and child molesters etc etc, so why not for keep tabs on the peeps  who are appear to be on the verge of destruction ?

This is Canada's Bowling for Columbine , a bleak day in its history !!

Breaching airline security

An anti-terrorism expert takes a bomb into a couple of international flights to prove the fallibility of security checks. Serious shit.

And for non-serious shit, John Hargrave takes a vibrator on a flight with him. He also gets a "[f]ree back-of-the-handjob."
