This is awesome, I love seeing news like this. Well, let me clarify -- the shootings aren't awesome but the way that the guy pieced it together on Reddit is super cool. Amazing.


I agree. I'm also surprised at how some of them are freaking out and deleting their tweets. I hope a side benefit of this is some awareness that social networks are not some kind of cosy, private club.


I hope they don't realize this at all...
