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.
It began as polytechnical institute (farming type curricula) and then the state made it our state university so technically it is Va Polytechnical and State University offically but just called VA Tech for short. I guess it was in the 70s or 80s, can’t remember exactly. Longwood was known as a all girls college for teaching. Is she a teacher?
Sounds like my 4'x3' office bulletin board Molly. It has a large I AM PRO-VICTORY! banner across the top and in a conspicuous corner a picture of Dingy Harry with Leahy holding up a paper that some enterprising freeper photoshopped:
US Democrat Plan for Iraq:
1. Cut
2. Run
(evil grin!)
Liberals tend to not want to spend much time there, heh! There is PLENTY of space for additional pictures and cartoons too.
It seems to me that any student who has a teacher concerned enough to refer them to counseling services because of the unhinged and violent stuff theat student writes, ought to also be referred to campus police to be aware of and maybe even campus housing.
But that probably would violate civil rights..
Yea, it’s nice.
Yummmmmmmmmm...fried Chicken...pass the gravy.
About that chicken...where is the packaging and the UPC code?
It appears that you are in serious need of some Adult Supervision this evening.
:-)
There is your reason that no charges were filed. He was speeding.
That is a neat story. Those are beautiful cats and I’ll bet they are spoiled. Isn’t that great?
Oh my what a handsome rooster.
I met her mother at the emergency room. My granddaughter did NOT want to go to the hospital, because "that is where they cut people open." (Apparently some bright child at her school gave her that information.) When we got to the hospital, which I had sworn to her would not cut her open, we drove by the cardio unit which had a heart as part of its logo, and she screamed "There's a HEART , Grandma! They are going to cut me open!"
I about passed out from the stress, I swear.
Anyway, the nurses and the doctor were really good with her and got her calmed down, she didn't have anything wrong other than a huge lump and a bruise, and I am now home having a martini.
Sounds like you need 2 martini’s.
That is enough to make you want to down the whole bottle.
If she’d come into my kitchen she’d have found 2 ex military and one side of the fridge full of pictures of our President and his wife Laura. She’d have had a hissy fit.
I have heard about those black boxes. I hadn’t heard about one being used,,,, until now.
In Iowa, when the Governor is being escorted or driven from point A to point B, I think they forget about the speeed limit, too. I’m not saying it’s right. Just fact.
HEH, HEH, HEH.
I didn’t know chickens could be strays. I just thought they lived in chicken coops.
You’re right Toby. The group is now complete with one exception.
Oh Dear. What a horrible experience for YOU and for your Gd.
Don’t settle for 2 simple drinks. Make them DOUBLES!!! You’ve earned them.
I don’t blame you one bit, that was traumatic, maybe a double.
