Yep, always count on a sexually-frustrated male to cause mass destruction.

What's Australia's greatest casualty number for a public shooting?

Gah this sucked so bad. School shootings are the worst. But apparently one girl who was in the cafeteria during Columbine was in the same building that the shooter was in for the VT shootings. Talk about scary...

Speaking of Columbine, I live less than an hour away from there. We play them in sports all the time. Not so much marching band, but we go to some of the same competitions. I lived in Colorado Springs when the shooting happened, so I live closer to there now than I did then.

One weird case: It's called the Port Arthur shootings where 35 people were killed and 37 were wounded.

But the entire thing was really weird if you ask me. The facts just don't add up.

Aye, it's a long story, but I'm willing to tell.

The Port Arthur Massacre, as it was known, happened on April 28, 1996. The person at the center of it all was a man called Martin Bryant.

The first of massacres was in a cafe where, after he finished his meal, he picked up his AR-15 rifle, loaded a clip of 30 bullets and went on a spree. In a mere 15 seconds after the first shot, Bryant was able to kill 12 people and injure 9.

After going through the cafe, Bryant went through the gift shop adjoined and killed more people before leaving. At this time, 90 seconds after the first shot, Bryant had gone through 29 rounds (few missed) which killed 20 people and injured 15.

Bryant later killed people in the carpark (bringing the total up to 35 dead and 37 injured) before he stole a car and was caught by the police.

The weird thing about all of this is that Martin Bryant was an epileptic. He was known to have fits all the time. On top of that, he had a mental disability, having an IQ of 65.

So how did a man, who could not live by himself without assistance, have a higher kill rate than a Navy SEAL? It doesn't add up.
