I read the following from Little Green Footballs:
"Apparently, South Korean student Seung Hui Cho signed his note, “Ismail Ax,” and also wrote those words on his arm. All other signs right now point to this being a deranged individual with a history of odd behavior (not a “sudden jihadi”), but this is very curious."
Hotair.com suggests that he meant only to refer to a story by an author named Ishmael:
You probably already know this, but in James Fennimore Cooper’s story “The Prairie,” the settler Ishmael Bush, who is attempting to escape from civilization, sets out across the prairie with two key tools, a gun and an axe. Each has a symbolic meaning. The axe — which can either kill or provide shelter — stands for both creation and destruction. Given that the VT killer was an English major, might this be the likely meaning of the words on his arm? Just my two cents.
And its widely reported that Cho's writings freaked out one of his English professors. Smoking Gun had one on-line. I read it.
What immidiately stood out was some of the strange language Cho's character used: All of the characters have typically American names, yet "John" uses some strange epithets. The story is basically about a step-son's unexplained rage at a step-father whom he accuses of killing his real father, and (falsely), of molesting him. The father a "fat piece of pork," and "McPork." (The latter is a mockery of his unusual, and unexplained, last name, McBeef.)
It's only weak evidence, I know, but it's just so straaaange...
Uh...that pic was taken in Indonesia?
Actually, the whole deal sounds really downhome.
It must be driving all in the lame stream media nuts, that this guy was not a “white, Christian male”
If you copy drag and link the address, there is a discussion as to if it is Chu or not. It’s kind of odd a male of the same age, looks the same, has near the same two names. May be the web is just sucking up to much and a connection can be found with anything now. Still, it’s odd.
basic theme: krudgy old man rakes the kids over the coals.
Then, he takes a big casio win away by nefarious means (to the kids) and has the casino kick the kids out because they are under aged (a technicality to the kids)
Authority male figures are portrayed badly in BOTH plays.
Wow—that sure looks like him! Great find! Has anyone forwarded this to FoxNews?
But Dr. Ak is on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, not in Virginia.
His stuff is on the internet. He’s on the internet. Ol’Doc is as close as your ISP.
The picture of the guy in Indonesia doesn’t really look like the killer Cho. Also, I think there are not too many names in Korea. A few names like Kim and Park are very common. So maybe it would not be hard to have duplication of names among unrelated people.
Like I said, maybe the web can connect anything now. Maybe not.
Fairfax County has lots of mosques so it's not necessary for an instant jihadi to obscure his relationship to any one of them.
Diane Sawyer was recently in NK and reported that the children there were the happiest kids on the earth.
lol.
They get the same free healthcare that is given in cuber
Multi syllabic Slavic names are not at all unusual in that area, nor are their accents.
Besides, this kept the KGB happy since the mayor of Detroit was a Russian confidant ~ his brother was director of personnel at the post office (later postmaster as I recall).
If the family are actually North Korean defectors (see the "if" guys, see the "if") they would have moved upstairs to end up in Centerville.
Lady MacBeth was a Viking King’s daughter. She’s pretty typical of the type you’d find at the top of that particular heap ~ sociopathic, superstitious, murderous, etc.
Correct. I know of no reference to Ismail and an ax, though Ibrahim used an ax to chop up the idols.
redrum
What are the procedures for the immigration laws in connection with that status?
From what I remember, you need to be in the states for five years and then you can apply for citizensihip. If you are under-aged, below 18, and both parents apply and become citizens, you automatically become a US citizen with them.
...does a non-citizen have qualify for in-state tuition?
You only need to meet the requirements of that state, usually a year of residence to no longer pay out-of-state tuition.
As to your other questions, I do not know.
