: : : I saw that someone posted something about the tragedy at UCSB about a month ago. Turns out the fuckhead driving was an extra on the JASBSB set? Does anyone have any more info on this? I go to UCSB and have a personal connection to two of the people he killed. I'm so ashamed to think he was a Kevin Smith fan, and I truly do hope that nothing he did could have been related to Dogma... Thanks
: : I'm sorry about what happened, but fuck! This is ridiculous. Especially coming from someone who was affiliated with the victims. What happened was a tragedy, but instead of hoping that it dosen't have anything with DOGMA, you should pary for the friends and family of the victims, and HOPE that this kind of incident dosen't occur again.

: Eric,
: It's not that I hope it had nothing to do with Dogma because I'm a Kevin Smith fan. I hope it had nothing to do with the movies because of how stupid and pointless and violent the crime was to begin with, and much worse it would make me feel if it *were* because of the movies. I have spent time with the friends. I've spent the last month trying to take care of my best friend who was best friends with two of the people killed. Don't judge me on one post. I merely wanted some more information *because* of my personal involvement. Not because I want to hear some gruesome story of how he was emulating Loki in the Mooby boardroom.
I agree entirely. Sorry about my previous post,
Eric
