Sometime today, I’m sure.
I’m Asian and I don’t have any..........I have a wok, tho........
And when the guy is convicted, that slimeball Kaine will spare him from the death penalty.
. . . a slight correction.
Dear God in Heaven. That is horrible. Prayers up for all those affected by this nightmare.
It is awful. And the wounded aren’t going to be getting the best of care, either. I’m from Roanoke and my husband had at one time taught at Va Tech. I wanted to move back and besides the lack of job for him, our other primary consideration is their poor medical facilities in SW VA.
This is so terrible..Prayers for the injured and those who mourn.
I have a theory as to why we’re seeing so many of these wild shootings. We’re raising a generation of kids that don’t know how to cope with “pain.” Everything is done to coddle them. There’s no losing, because that will hurt their feelings. There’s no low grades, because that will hurt their feelings and self-esteem, etc. So what happens when they go out to the real world and something hurts their feelings? It’s sounding like this guy was dumped by his girlfriend. If we don’t teach children how to cope with disapointment and pain, coupled with the violence they see on TV everyday, how can we expect anything different?
Agreed. Just a matter of time.
Asian, but I’d bet Muslim. Asian appearance could be a way of saying Arabic in a manner to avoid a fatua.
Nothing here. Walk on by.
Just the puppet masters racheting up the terror until martial law can be declared on the way to coercing the world into the tyrannical global government.
No, they just said “heavily armed”
For later.
Waiting on more information.
Thanks for that...my wife and I have been pulling our hair out because we haven't been able to reach anyone...just spoke to his dad about 45 minutes ago and he's fine, but it's overwhelming to think of the grief that's going to descend on these families. God help them.
And we will, no doubt, soon hear from those who disarmed these victims claiming they know how to prevent this in the future. They should be called to task. Shame on them.
22! Good God, that’s more than a third of the total number of people murdered with a gun every year in the UK in just this one incident. My condolences to their families.
Not allowing students to carry guns in a country like the US where handguns are freely available is madness.
Thank God he wasn't driving, the death toll would be double.
