AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 2276) [Remember the Trade Center!!]
Various News Sources and FReepers | April 17, 2007 | All of Us

Posted on 04/17/2007 4:38:49 AM PDT by Chairman_December_19th_Society

As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!

Good morning!!

We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!!

Today is the DemoncRAT high holy day.

Regarding Blacksburg, the sequence of events as they appear to be at the moment.

In the morning, an Asian man enters a domitory and starts a conversation with his girl friend. He believed his girl friend has been seeing another man. A quarrel ensued, and a resident advisor was called to sort things out.

Unknown to all, the asian man had entered the dormitory with two 9mm handguns; the Asian man produced a weapon, and shot both the girl and the advisor dead on the spot.

The shooter then calmly crossed the campus to the Burruss Hall classroom complex and entered the building. Conflicting reports exist as to whether the gunman then chained the doors, but they were chained from the inside which police describe as highly unusual.

It was at this point, the gunman, dressed in a maroon hat, leather jacket, black military-style shooting vest, and carrying an "inordinate amount of ammunition" started going classroom to classroom, shooting up each. In some instances, the gunman lined up folks before, essentially, executing them. The gunman would reload his 9mm weapons as he moved from room to room.

There were students who were so terrified they jumped from fourth floor windows. There were other instances where students held doors shut using their feet while butressed against other objects. In the end, some 32 people, both students and professors, were killed and at least 15 wounded before the gunman committed suicide as police closed in.

In the aftermath, calls for "gun control" have arisen anew, notwithstanding the striking down of the Washington, DC, gun control law by the Federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Let's not forget in this monumental tragedy, the gunman was not inclined to follow the law anyway.

In the Commonwealth, it is illegal to possess a firearm (police excepted) within 100 yards of a school, including colleges and universities. So what would another statute do? Answer, be ignored. But, again, the Federal courts have ruled such unconstitutional anyway.

It is a tragedy. Please respect and pray for the loved ones of the victims, and for those who are wounded.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

I believe it was DollyCali's idea. Perhaps when the time is right Jemian could suggest something. I hope we could find something lasting to contribute to.

Between Kay and my neighbor both leaving, I have been trying to keep myself busy with grandkid stuff and housework, as well as prayer. The Virginia Tech thing is so overwhelmingly sorrowful that I can't really comprehend it. So many promising young lives snuffed out for no good reason.

Good morning everybody. We were out of town over the weekend and traveling yesterday. Thank you for the recap on the V-Tech shootings, Chairman, I’ve scarcely had time to even touch on that horrible event.

Such sorrowful happenings, it’s hard to imagine how a person can just go off completely unhinged. I’m going to be saying several prayers for all involved.

Jemian, thank you for the thread and ping about kay yesterday. I also would like to contribute to her memorial when the decision is made.

Yes, the contribution to Jemian’s mission work, via Kay’s church, would be perfect, IMO. Very, very suitable in so many ways. Great idea, Dolly!

Hi Molly - I am so sad about Kayak. After yesterday’s awful news to boot, I feel very sad indeed. Both my twin brothers graduated with bachelors and masters degrees from VA Tech and one even did student teaching there, he married in the chapel on the campus, and they both love Tech. It is so tragic to think such a great university will forever be the site of such a dispicable act. They always say UVA is harder to get in but VT is harder to stay in (meaning a better education) and anyone who ever went to VT is passionate about the school.

Sorry I’m so late, but I overslept. I’m not going to stoop down to the RATS level, so I won’t try politicizing what happened in Blacksburg, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they and the other gungrabbers will.

Hello K. Always good to see you, altho today, not under the best of circumstances.

Yes, you describe the school perfectly. That's what I've heard too from my Va.relatives.

I have some cousins at VCU also...don't know about its reputation, but they seem to do well.

Hi ABG. They already are. You should read the column from some NY lib...gad, it’s awful. Limbaugh was just quoting it. The writer refers to Sen. Webb’s recent gun incident, but doesn’t point out he’s a Dem...the whole column indiscriminately slams Virginia and its so-called gun culture.

Just got an e-mail back from my brother (professor now in IL) and his daughter knows one of the injured, went to school together in Harrisonburg, VA - shot twice in the leg had surgery but doing well now. My niece is at JMU but almost went to VT, she is very upset with the events like the rest of the kids. My brother says his students where he teaches are upset, if it could happen at tech they say it could happen to them too. He had to talk to them about rationalizing the rarity of the event.

I had to run a quick errand...It occurs to me that I’ve been hearing about this school all my life, and still think of it as VPI. When did the name change? Maybe my mother had a cousin or something who went there. But she went to Longwood, and would talk about that, then VPI would come up too.

Greg's on site job was canceled so he came home early. When he pulled in the driveway he noticed Colonel/Dave the rooster.

Colonel ran under our Jeep. Greg went for the garage door remote..opened the door and corralled Colonel into the garage.

Sarah took some pictures, but hasn't sent them to my computer, yet.

Colonel looks like this...

Beautiful coloring on the rooster, lysie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other like it.
