It is true. Students jumped out the window as he blocked the door and was shot. I believe he was a professor of German Studies......a Holocaust survivor from Romania, 75 years old.

It should be covered by every news agency. But they'll be too busy blaming someone and trying to get more gun control laws.....

well, it’s nice for them (university spokes people)to finally acknowledge we’re all (press) here”. Made me sick.

The press has gone way over the line. This isn't some Anna Nicole/Natalie Halloway daily soap opera ratings grabber. This is a national tradegy -- the massacre of our children. As the mother of a college student away from home, I'm just sickened by it. I am so sad for the parents of those students.

He was a "solid mechanics professor". I'm not sure what all that entails, but you can see a bio here.

Thanks for the link.

Can you believe the idiot that said he wasn’t a hero?

Maybe pictures tend to compliment the language form.

I think so. It's one of the things that makes them 'inscrutable' to us linear thinkers.

Also if a person's native tongue is an inflected language, they are more apt to have perfect pitch.

Sounds like the gun dealer on that forum who said he was being questioned by ATF about selling a gun to Cho really was telling the truth....

Yes it does. And "Sharpshooter" also wrote that the ATF questioned him because the murderer had in his pocket a purchase receipt or card from his gun shop.

That bothers me. This kid carried no id and took the trouble to file the serial numbers off the weapons. However, he made certain to bring along a month-old ticket documenting how and where he bought them.

Did you miss the MAYBE?? What does MAYBE mean to you?

Your placement of the word "maybe" made trying the doors a factual statement, on your part.

Your original statement:

Maybe because when they tried the doors, they couldn’t open them?

Everything about the above statement indicates that, in your mind, they tried the doors, for sure, no doubt about it.

If you had any doubt, you would have placed the word "maybe" before the word "tried," not before "because."

Furthermore, your inclusion of the word "when" seals the deal as well.

Haven’t read those books . . . but read lots of hourse organ docs 45+ years ago by the organizations saying what they were going to do. Since, they’ve accomplished 80-85% of their stated goals then.

???SMERSHed.???? Sorry. I just got up. Not sure what that is.

I figure as long as I earnestly endeavor to do what God has me to do, He’ll take care of me until it’s my time to go Home. But they certainly are a ruthless deadly bunch.

I asked a well connected and studied fellow at the Aztec UFO conference if he thought Daddy Sr would off Jr if the puppet masters ordered it. He said—IN A FLASH—without batting an eye. I suspect he’s right. What a horror.

Have you seen advancement of the themes, threads, goals, you read about in the books since that reading? Have you taken any action accordingly?

Prayer, preparation and walking close to God is the ONLY option of any merit that’s available, imho.

Thankfully, God Almighty IS sufficient.

DONT KILL THE MESSENGER FOLKS. I am just objectively reporting how this is coming down overseas in terms of America's image.

No problem here. There isn't a society on earth that doesn't feel that in some way it's better than everyone else.

It is really . . . curious . . .

But I felt much safer in Mainland China—until Tienanmen—when few felt safe. And, was much freer about what I said in Chinese universities—even about God—as long as I was asked first by a student.

How far we have come from our founding. Horrible.

I wouldn’t ask this anywhere else but, I was sorta surprised that a Korean immigrant was majoring in English. I had the impression or maybe the sterotype that the children of asian immigrants usually studied something more technical. They also said this morning that he may have a criminal arrest in Montgomery County. Couple that with whether his parents knew he was getting a “soft” degree...

“Civil society has been in a meltdown for the last 40+ years and we’re living with the horrific results in all areas.”
Yes, we are end days, as I see it (no religious connotations). My father (WWII combat vet) told me the same things long ago. But even he didn’t forsee the total distruction of integrity, honor, self-responsibility, grace, and self-determination. I am sad for my children and grand-children.

I only hope I am dead before I see the envitable happen to this wonderfully conceived nation.

BTW, Please let me know if you want on the

That could be fantasy from a “journalist” trying to stir the pot.

The total number of school shooting deaths has been declining and the world didn't seem to end after a nutjob blew up a school of elementary school students, killing 40+, in 1927 in Michigan.

You think like an astute survivor and overcomer.

I like that.
