Asian, but Id bet Muslim. Asian appearance could be a way of saying Arabic in a manner to avoid a fatua. Could be a muslim (which would be no surprise) but I'd find it hard to believe that the eyewitness student thought to measure his words to 'avoid a fatwa'. Besides, it's the Brits who call them all Asian.
It appears that the opening of Jose Padilla's terrorism trial is no longer the lead story today.

Yep. Walking into a gun free zone is the equivalent of painting bullseyes all over yourself. All of the easy marks in gun free zones attract criminals from miles around.

If he killed himself, then it shows that no one in law enforcement actually stopped the guy...If he was not out of ammunition, he may have killed more.
I demand the right to protect myself in situations such as these. Where were those who disarmed those poor souls when the time came for defending them?

VA is a “right to carry” State. State colleges, which Va TECH is, the campus cops are authorized to carry loaded weapons and have the same authority as State Police when on campus.

Eyewitness on FOX said one Asian guy, so probably a student who snapped.Or a 'Manchurian' student...!?

He was a quiet guy who kept to himself will be the headlines.
I also expect at least a few MSM stories to toss in "He was misunderstood".

Most reports say the shooter is dead and that dude aint. My guess is he is a fleeing student who fit the “Asian” description and thus got tackled by the cops.
To: CountryBumpkin
Yes, he was misunderstood who was never hugged by his gun loving Republican father. I dont need to check DUville to see that out there already.

Maybe the sign was in english and the student couldn’t read it. Had it not been for that....

If he’s asian he could well be muslim. Muslim countries like Indonesia or the Philippines where there is a large muslim jihadist population.

This guy doesn't look mortally wounded... if this is the "asian guy", and the shooter is dead, they probably aren't one-in-the-same...

I sure hope the media doesn’t whitewash this. The truth is the truth. Just horrible.

What is your point? How many Caucasians have kevlar around the house? How many Blacks... or any other races? What race of people are the predominant kevlar wearers?
