"I REALLY wish I could post some of the liberal comments about this from another board I peruse...

The level of hatred is utterly AMAZING...

Some wonder why the killer didn’t murder President Bush, instead, etc,etc...

Come look for yourself, you’ll be utterly STUNNED..."

Looks like there are about half a dozen really crazed leftists there posting all the garbage. Thy psychosis of the hard Left is amazing. They would kill anyone not Commnunist...

He locked the doors with a chain and went in and knew just where he was going and what he was going to do.

He may well have gotten the idea from the man who killed the Amish girls. That's similar to what he did. These unstable perps feed off of the ideas of other unstable people.

When BBC reports asian it’s usually Pakistani.

Or Afghani; e.g. a Southwest Asian. As per example *here.*

"If an American news organization like Fox identifies someone as asian, it usually means Asian Pacific, NOT middle eastern. When BBC reports asian it’s usually Pakistani."

The report was based on what the witness said. VT has students and faculty from all over. If the witness was (for example) British, "Asian" can mean anything from Chinese to Saudi. I doubt the reporter would have the presence of mind (or linguistic knowledge) to pursue the matter, especially when the witness is sitting there bleeding.

I'll be a while before we know what went down.

Don’t some prisons have internet access for inmates? If you work in the prison library you might be able to log on somehow.

Indonesia, the most populus Muslim country, is in Asia. The fact that we don't have his name yet makes me suspicious.

Civilian CCW would not have stopped the first shooting? Perhaps, but it might have stopped it by the second or third. Weapons would *not* have been in backpacks (you obviously know little about CCW), but on the person of the owner, able to be produced in three seconds or so. Boot carry, small-of-back carry, in the case of the girls wearing skirts there’s always the classic “garter carry,” there’s Thunderwear.... lots of options.

In addition, magazine up around 30 rounds get less reliable. Handguns rely on consistent pressure from the magazine feed spring to work properly. Long springs or rotary systems are less likely to feed consistently.

Where did you get that photo from? I have not seen it on TV at all.

That was a screencap from the NBC-10 streaming feed via MS Player.

Discovered KGB files in East Germany documented the at least $10 million Russia sent to creat hate between blacks/white; men/women etc as well as install nihlism as the value in universities, the media etc. etc.

Many globalist forces are hard at work winding up the hate between groups. It will get much, much worse.

Dammit all to hell! The gun-controllers are determined for us to die. If only 5% or 10% of the general population were armed this kind of thing would never happen. All those kids with no way of defending themselves...

Story is too big, too many witnesses. It will be determined who the shoot was and what he was all about.

Fact is if this was a jealous boyfriend scenario, it will involved a very sick, mentally ill individual, far beyond a love affair gone bad.

Only other scenario left would be terrorism.

Once the perp starts to act, the only way to stop a psychotic killer, who is willing to die, is the rapid application of return fire by whoever is near — Cop, civilian, military, it does not matter who. The more people who are nearby and capable of delivering return fire, the fewer and less serious the injuries to all. People need to be willing to act, to commit, to save others.

Sadly, gun free zones do not allow that.

If all the people on the 9/11 planes behaved like the ones on Flight 93 ...

Citizenship education is seriously lacking in most happy go lucky western countries.
