I have been very surprised at the lack of response of comparing the Utah Mall incident to VT.
Just imagine if no one in that mall had had a gun. The story has been buried, because the perp was killed by someone defending his MANY potential victims.
I will wait on the MSM to make the comparison.....not.
And because he was a Bosnian Muslum on a personal act of Jihad.
4 March 2007:
Sulejman Talovic, the 18 year-old Bosnian refugee and practicing Muslim who killed five innocent shoppers and wounded four others at the Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City in February was buried yesterday in his home village of Talovici, Vlasenica. The frightening truth about this shooting rampage is also being buried - not in Bosnia, but in Salt Lake City.
An extensive investigation conducted by the Northeast Intelligence Network and detailed in the current issue of the HQ INTEL-ALERT Private Intelligence Report has confirmed disturbing facts that indicate that the truth is being deliberately withheld from an unsuspecting and trusting public by both police and public officials. These officials are using the general public’s short attention span and growing malaise about the threat of “neighborhood Islamists” to downplay a very real and growing threat.
The well-scripted comments about this event from Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, police Chief Chris Burbank and FBI Special Agent Patrick Kiernan, a supervisor in the FBI's Salt Lake City office, are the same: the motive for the shooting rampage, although not known to authorities, is not connected to terrorism.
Based on the information developed from our investigation – including numerous interviews – determined that TALOVIC originally planned to execute his deadly rampage at the Conference Center, just north of the Mormon Tabernacle in Temple Square as first reported by KSL reporters Reed Cowan and Susan Wood.
Continued investigation found that TALOVIC also had more connections to the al Noor Mosque than originally reported. The al Noor mosque is located just two blocks from the Trolley Square Mall, and was the same mosque that U.S. Marine Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun attended.Ali HASSOUN was at the center of controversy in June 2004, when his picture appeared on the Arabic news network Al-Jazeera. On June 27, 2004, Al Jazeera showed a photo of Hassoun, blindfolded, with a sword behind his head. A group called the National Islamic Resistance/1920 Revolution Brigade claimed to be holding him and was threatening to decapitate him unless detainees in "U.S.-led occupation prisons" were released.

What was Bosnian Muslim Sulejman Talvic's Plan A?
To launch his murderous Islamic Jihad assault against LDS Christian worshippers the day before the Trolley Square rampage.
Problem is, if the comparisons were made, liberals would note....
...the defender was a “HIGHLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL”.
Not a very good place to go for a gun-rights view. We need a “non-professional” example to prove the point.
