Who would have guessed? Andrew Rosenblum, host of Gamelife (a video game review show), has been arrested by Boston Police, on terms of sending a threatening
e-mail to his ex-girlfriend. 20 year old Rosenblum threatened to recreate the recent killings at the Virginia Tech campus. This, you gotta see:

"(I)'m gonna (expletive) bring a gun to your school and kill you and K (another female student) and everybody you love. It's gonna be VT all over again. Seriously I'm just that demented," and according to a BPD report, he ended the message with saying that he'd commit suicide too, just like in the Virginia Tech case: "killing people can change people's lives forever. (T)he best is in the end when I pull the trigger on myself, too."

His ex is a 19 year old woman. The two went on just three dates and then broke off. After that, Rosenblum started harassing the poor woman on a regular basis, with emails such as the one above. She didn't panic though, saved all the emails and then went to the police. No charges have been filed yet, but an investigation is on the way.

He's a mental alright. Although, I've heard that the first step to getting cured is admission: "Seriously I'm just that demented...," so what are we to believe. I'm not so sure the guy meant all he wrote. He surely is a disturbed person but not that disturbed in order to recreate the Virginia Tech scene. Did the guy killing 32 students and a teacher say anything? No he did not, so he was sure nobody would try and stop him. If you're so desperate that you'd do something like this, you wouldn't tell a soul. The man was just trying to make his point, but apparently it wasn't the best way to do it.
