Some Profit Off Virginia Tech Domain Names
An AP newswire article by Kristen Gelineau, via USA Today, reports that:
When Fred McChesney heard about the Virginia Tech shooting spree on April 16, he was appalled. But what he did next has appalled many others. Within hours of the rampage, the Phoenix man began buying dozens of domain names — CampusKillings.com, VirginiaTechMurders.com, SlaughterInVirginia.com — in the hopes of selling them later to the highest bidder.More here.
McChesney, 48, said he saw it as an opportunity to show his contempt for firearms by featuring anti-gun content on the domains he is selling.
He also saw it as an opportunity to cash in.
"Everyone is profiting off of this," McChesney said. "I'm not hurting anyone."
