The Night Before

repost from metafilter :

The night before. You can bet that most times when someone goes all murder-suicide, there are a few awkward conversations prior when sane people try to talk them out of doing something stupid. You know there is something wrong when the voice of reason is the Something Awful forums.

its a long thread on their forum, but the gist of it is that this kid, who matches the same description (and name, i think) as the news article, came on to the board and asked for information on shotguns and where to get buckshot in southern california (where the shootings happened). anyway, the people on something awful gave him the information he wanted and the shootings occurred a few days later.

holy,thats pretty crazy. i only read a bit of that, but i certainly would feel horrible if I was the one who gave him the info :S
