Via Drudge, Sky News is reporting...

"Witnesses said he was heavily armed and entered the college looking for his girlfriend... He reportedly lined up students and opened fire at them. He was said to be a young Asian..."

So is this an Asian Asian or one of those Muslim “Asians” the European news is always describing?

Even if he had 30 round magazines, that’s 60 shots. Reports indicate more than 60 casualties and fatalities. Even if he didn’t miss with a single shot (likely?), he had to have changed mags.

That was a picture of a victim. Nothing to connect him to the shooter.

< What the hell are they doing? >

You can hear lots of shots in the background, which is either the perp killing the many students, or perhaps shots exchanged in a shootout with LEOs. It probably was the sound of the perp shooting the students, since we are hearing that the perp killed himself and was not shot by police.

I think the police officers we see in the video either were waiting for someone with a boltcutter to cut the chain off the door (and then we see them rushing the door), or they were securing a person on the sidewalk who they thought might be one of the shooters but was not, while at the time the actual shooter was doing the shooting inside the building.

It’s so awful.
I’ll have my oldest leaving for college next year.
I absolutely can’t imagine watching this unfold knowing you have a child/children there.

The shooter(s) at VA Tech no matter their faith are Terrorists.

I disagree. I don't think that the shooter/s at VA Teach have any agenda, or that he/they are using fear to try to force people to conform to his/their ideas. He/They are simply mass-murderers, not terrorists.

That’s true. I didn’t think of that.

Over the shoulder isn’t that great an idea for people with abdominal injuries. I think they didn’t know whether they had the shooter, just knew they had injured and wanted to get them to safety as quickly as possible, thus the ‘grab and dash’ instead of waiting for the medics. Not a bad move in my opinion.

I think they thought they had the shooter (the handcuffed Asian looking guy)...that’s the word that was being reported.

If they thought they had him, were they still on the lookout for somebody else?

Somebody in the VT security police will be sacrificed. Especially if there is going to be a coverup.

"What's the maximum clip capacity on those? "

I have a 9mm Ruger and I have some clips that hold 40 rounds. I can change clips in about 2 seconds.

NC State. Also, there was the guy who blew himself up outside the football stadium at OSU.

Do you by any chance have a succinct list of the recent non-terrorist terror attacks committed by Muslims in the nam of Allah here in the USA? I'm having difficulting convincing people that the Jihad is very real and in our back yards.

Does the BBC ever call someone “middle eastern” or is that what they’d call “asian”?

Lots of countries refer to ME persons as Asians. They do in the UK for certain.

A person wouldn't even have to be that great of a shot. It's like shooting fish in a barrel - all the shooter would have to do is shoot into the crowd at chest level. A very motivated shooter could easily kill more than 22 or 32 in a very short time frame if they put their mind to it.

And in an auditorium setting, I think it would be pretty near impossible to miss. The students would be lined up already.

Please avoid pretending that you know much about me or what I know and think.

I’m fiercely aware of and against the horrendous destruction the Jihadi’s have planned and are determined to do more or less regardless of who or what forces have given them so much aid, comfort, direction etc.

As to the globalists, When you have studied them for 45+ years and read the thousands of pages of documents I have and talked to as many of them directly as I have . . .

THEN MAYBE

we can talk.

Sheesh.

I don’t know if 7/11 has a special on a case of clues but it’s a thought.
