Absolutely not true. A couple of local cops here shot two unarmed brothers in the back (one in the back of the head) fo dissin' 'em just the day before yesterday.
Correct. I was listening to the Curtis & Kuby radio show this morning and even liberal Ron Kuby said he was a gun owner when he was at the University of Kansas. Said if a similar situation happened he would have been able to protect himself and other students.
Kinda' goes with the terrority. I guess we would not have that attention if we were the Ivory Coast or Paraguay.
Kuby for all his liberal faults, is not a gun grabber.
Geraldo hits the nail on the head in his interview with the VT president.
“Did investigators find any weapons at the site of the first shooting?”. Answer: No.
Even if univ admins thought it was a domestic and/or isolated incident, THAT answer tells you they knew there was an armed man on the loose. Seems inexcusable that they didn’t raise all alarms at that time.
Also, Israel seems to have the gun in the classroom bit down pat. In fact their classroom PLO problem has gone down a bit since the teachers are armed. I guess you fear that to.
Hard to explain the gunshot wounds with no guns around.
So, Kuby was packing heat in class?? I rather doubt that. Sorry. Smell test ya know?
If I were a tinfoil hat type, this would make me think about another Chinese export in the news recently, that tainted wheat gluten.

"I have many friends in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. On a certain level,I am not fully satisfied with the answer that this was a lonely Chinese student upset over a breakup with a girlfriend, as the damage he has caused was so far beyond the bounds of that. I think there was a degree of preparation by the shooter that extended back at least several weeks, and I think the shooter must have had some formal military training. I hope there will be answers in the coming days, when the shooter is positively identified and we learn more about his background and motives."
Totally agree on all.
Did you look at the conferences this professor had attended and was going to attend? He certainly would have been well known by the Chinese military.
Don't know anything about the significance of his expertise - militarily speaking - would like someone with more military knowledge to talk about that.
Columbine happened just before an NRA convention and some sort of pro-RKBA legislation was in the Colorado legislature at the time IIRC—it got flushed because of the emotions involved.
MSNBC’s David Gregory now reporting that the murderer “may have been” a resident in one of the VA Tech dorms.
Just speculating. Just seems like this was a targeted shooting not just an aimless rampage done by someone with perhaps military training.
God bless the Professor who blocked the door.
Thanks. Is the Chinese national still correct?
I see Shep has made it to Virginia Tech.

Can anyone find out if the Romanian professor would have been this Professor, shot first?
