Cashing Out

Rosanne Cash was all in black yesterday, but not because it was the fave color of her dad, Johnny. The country songstress and 32 others dressed in mourning for a noon demonstration at Times Square, where they remembered the Virginia Tech tragedy by lying down for three minutes — the time it took Seung-Hui Cho to kill 32 students and himself. The demo, attended by Mayor Bloomberg, was organized by protest site easyguns.com, a grass-roots group started by Washington Philharmonic cellist Abby Spangler.

Roseanne Cash is not on the list.

But she ought to be.

I would stand crouched in the two-hand hold handgun combat stance for 5 second as a memorial to how Cho could have been stopped except for THE LAW.
Bloomberg's Law. Kaine's Law. Spangler's Law.

No idea what his stance was, but I'd like to think her Daddy would be ashamed.

Why are they celebrating the Hinkler-Cho Massacre in Times Square? I don't see the connection. And where do they get "3 minutes"? There was more time than that between the time of the first two murders and the rest.

I forwarded it on to the people that update the list.
