I hope the shooter burns in hell!.... There are times when I think that we are already in hell.

I’m wondering if this is part of Jemaiah Islamaya (sp) threat to go after infidels?.......

There is no good reason regardless of what his problem was , but I’m willing to bet he left evidence as to his beef was with many innocent victims . I’m still glad he’s dead and not one dime will be spent on his indefensible defence .

DRUDGE:
AT LEAST 25 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN SHOOTINGS ON VIRGINIA TECH UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE...

WGN-Chicago is still reporting 1 confirmed dead and 21 injured.

[Just sayin]

I don’t know about Dems in congress, but I did just hear a dem in the media at the White House presser ask if the President would support raising the age for being allowed to have a gun.

SHEEEESH, some of these folks just never learn. Less guns means more shootings and even when it is happening in the moment they STILL can’t see it.

“And if law abiding citizens were allowed to carry guns, 22 people may be alive today.”

That cannot be repeated often and loudly enough. It needs be to used to shout down every liberal who will disgrace the dead and use this horrible incident as a political tool for subverting our God-given right to self defense. The unacceptable liberal agenda to disarm law-abiding citizens guarantees maximum casualties in situations like happened today.

I live right across the street from the campus. I was just at the grocery store, and a lady told me that people were jumping out of windows to get away from the gunman.

I have been completly freaked out all morning. When they said the gunman was loose I armed myself with a knife and kept my eyes on the windows. What a horrible tragedy for me personally. Blacksburg will never be the same from now on.

Asian, but I’d 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.

[Just sayin]

Chicago, one the leading Democrat gun grabbing areas in this nation, is wishing this isn’t happening. It does not support their stance that gun free zones and gun bans DON’T WORK!

Since his election, there have been 3 executions in VA.

How long before some Bush policy will be implicated?

[jrp]

Pro-gun groups need to go on the offensive over this, as respectfully and tactfully as possible, of course. Its absolutely ludicrous that trained, licensed students and staff are forbidden from carrying their handguns on campus in a PC effort to make people “feel safe”. That feel good lunacy just cost 20+ people their lives.

If we disarm the law abiding then only the criminals will have guns then it will be easier to control the violence !Just hide in your panic room while you get connected to the 911 operator you have an estimated 22 minute wait,while your’re waiting please feel free to take our on line survey tell us what you like about our 911 service.Thank God the mommies Nancy & Hillary are going to take care of us and take those bad ole guns are away from the common folk!

Sorry, truly, because things like this change one forever. But, knock it off with the 'freaking out' nonsense. You're allowed to be scared - you're never allowed to panic (or freak out).

MSNBC reporting suspect shot himself dead. Used 2 9MM handguns with many reloads, police know identity of this POS

[DogBarkTree]

If this is an islamo gone wild or given his orders we will never know. “He was a quiet guy who kept to himself” will be the headlines.

[FreedomCalls]

Yet another shooting in a declared gun-free zone.
