It started with a picture on Facebook and has now created a firestorm of outrage.

Two Penn State students, dressed as Virginia Tech shooting victims, at a Halloween party have enraged people from the Virginia Tech community, as well as the entire country.

10 On Your Side has seen all of the controversial pictures. They are of two Penn State students and are extremely graphic. Both are wearing Virginia Tech t-shirts and elaborate make-up. Both have bullet holes in their bodies.

He goes on to defend the pictures.

"The thing is, everybody's making a big stink about Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech was 32 deaths out of the 26 thousand that happen in America everyday," he said. "That's the problem with college students. They all live in an ivory tower of privilege. They don't understand, when it all boils down to it, it's someone wearing a costume."

3. This is Ugly
Then defending the outrage with Right Wing sensibilities ala Limbaugh is a tragedy upon tragedy.

"The thing is, everybody's making a big stink about Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech was 32 deaths out of the 26 thousand that happen in America everyday," he said. "That's the problem with college students. They all live in an ivory tower of privilege. They don't understand, when it all boils down to it, it's someone wearing a costume."

Why?

5. Sickening.
There is nothing humorous about this.

These students have no sense of decency.

6. It's in bad taste
But on the list of importance, it's not even in the top 100, except to those who were personally affected by what happened.

We have more important things to be concerned about in this country, then a few Penn State college students who don't have the class of pond scum!

JMHO

And, as you can see, they sell some pretty sick ass shirts. Hell, they sold an I Heart NY shirt where they replaced the heart with an airliner crashing into the "N" right after 9/11.

I don't recall them doing a VT shooting shirt.

9. Disgusting, but why do you think they did it in the first place?
IMO we'd be better off not giving them the attention that they crave.
