According to Hollywood Interrupted (http://www.hollywoodinterrupted.com/archives/update_the_scientology_vultures_have_landed_at_vir ginia_tech.phtml) a Co$ internal memo has called for Scientologists to descend on VT and distribute "The Way To Happiness," their anti-psychiatry book.
E M E R G E N C Y B U L L E T I N :
THE WAY TO HAPPINESS CAMPAIGN, VIRGINIA TECH
Please help us get The Way to Happiness books to the students, faculty, and members of the community of Blacksburg, VA following the tragic school shooting yesterday at Virginia Tech.
The message of The Way to Happiness book is not only pertinent, but needed at this time of crisis and healing...
Internal memo linked here. (http://www.hollywoodinterrupted.com/archives/scientologys_emergency_bulletin_regarding_virginia _tech.phtml)
I saw this article originally linked on Boingboing.net. First they make a mockery of 9/11 Ground Zero, and now they plan to prey on victims of another horrible tragedy for self serving gains. From that internal memo (quoting "The Way to Happiness):
Precept 8: DO NOT MURDER
... "Murder" is another thing entirely. By definition it means, "The unlawful killing of one (or more) human being(s) by another, especially with malice aforethought." One can easily see that in this age of violent weaponry, murder would be all too easy. One could not exist in a society where oneself or one's family or friends were at the mercy of some who went about casually taking lives.
Murder justly bears the highest priority in social prevention and retaliation.
The stupid, the evil and the insane seek to solve their real or imagined problems with murder. And they have been known to do it for no reason at all.
Get behind any demonstrably effective program that handles this threat to mankind and push. Your own survival could depend on it.
The way to happiness does not include murdering or your friends, your family, or yourself being murdered.
This just makes me want to beat the crap out of someone.

Here is an excerpt from a press release currently being disseminated to media outlets by Scientology front group, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights [CCHR]:
Another School Shooter, Another Psychiatric Drug?
28 Dead and 62 Wounded in Recent Drug-Induced School Shootings
Today's shooting rampage at Virginia Tech is being called the deadliest school shooting incident in U.S. history, with initial reports citing 32 dead and 29 wounded in the bloodiest school massacre since Columbine. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a mental health watchdog that initially discovered the psychiatric drug connection in the Columbine shootings, says media and law enforcement must move quickly to investigate the Virginia shooter's psychiatric drug history -- a common factor amongst school shooters...
For more information, contact [FLAME] the Citizens Commission on Human Rights at 800-869-2247 or email humanrights@cchr.org.
(For the record, the Columbine shooters stopped taking their medication to "feel rage again.")
This type of crap is absolutely horrible.
