Some thoughts from the Blogosphere....
The Religion of Peng.
Engineering is hard.
He brought chains to lock the doors so no one could get out.
Yeah, it was premeditated.
“premeditated” = NS
Trained terrorist... absolutely
Post #46, apparently from a gun dealer, as cited by Flopping Aces:
“Well, I’m screwed. They found a receipt in the gunman’s pocket indicating that he bought the gun from me in March. ATF is at my shop right now. See you later, I’m on my way to the shop right now.”
That means that the ATF know who the gun owner is. But apparently they are sitting on this information.
The gun dealer goes on to say that the person in question had a Green Card, which makes the sale legal.
This dude was cold ~ very cold ~ he used his girlfriend like a kleenex.
The targets weren't people to him ~ but may well have been seen as his opportunity to get to Paradise and have at those 72 virgins.
THIS IS NOT A TEST. Here you have the possibility that AlQaida is demonstrating that not all their terrorists are swarthy men with heavy beards.
Couldn’t it be both?
As America mourns, somewhere in a foreign land there are people celebrating.
Well, there’s more questions than just that. Like:
1. Why the two-hour gap?
2. What’s site #2 got to do with site #1, if jealousy is the motive?
3. Why weren’t cops everywhere on campus after the first episode?
Anyone?
The killer knew about guns, knew how to use them and how to get them. Maybe someone helped him buy what he needed....somebody who knew he was wasn’t allowed to possess a firearm but the price was nice.
We will likely not know all the “facts” of this story for some time, if ever. People quoting something they read on a blog is not helpful, and not likely to be true, either. By the time the whole truth is known, the MSM will have scored all their policical points, and will have moved on to some other scandal they can saturate the airwaves with.
Shep Smith said the Feds are working on five possible scenarios. From what we do know, he probably had a student visa but has not been confirmed as a student which is a big RED FLAG. Terrorism uses diversions. It may have been the plan to occupy the forces on the initial shooting. It has been reported that police were sent to an elementary school. The person of interest may have someone who helped plant disinformation.
Just a reminder to fellow FReepers, this friday is April 20th, Hitlers birthday, traditionally the deranged have used this date to perform acts of mayhem or terrorism.
He was a soldier. He killed many of the students in rooms as he walked down the hallways. He wore his ammo in the PLA way (on his chest). Also, notice as to how many of the students were treated by the police (threats by police to murder students, if they didn’t put their hands on their heads). Warfare is the work of soldiers—not police (who must be kept safe).
LOL!
The old "test run" theory again. We used to get a lot of these everytime an unattended cardboard box was found in a train station.
I don't buy the test run theory. When you kill thirty-two people, it's hard to imagine the response conditions you just found, will remain that way in future attacks.
Here’s what the PLA could hope to accomplish with such an attack, if it was a probe for a later attack on a larger scale (such as the beginning of a war).
* To instigate more “gun control” laws in the USA.
* To harass, of course.
* To probe for the possibility that they might take out most of a cycle of officer candidates in our nation.
...remember the Chinese probe on our Internet root servers a while back? They only ran DoS attacks on a couple of root servers but slowed address routing down significantly.
