You are absolutely ridiculous.
As I said, spare me the crapola about “discrimination” and comparing it to racism.
It’s total BS, because EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO REACHED 18 - has been in that “group”!!! Give me a break, BLACKS??? Get off it. What an absolutely absurd, stupid comparison.
I’ve experienced being in college and those were my impressions, as well as that it’s even worse now. Too bad. I belonged to that all-too-changing “group” at 1 time so don’t tell me I don’t know anything about it, or that I can’t say anything even against my own generation.
How’s your opinion on Moslems? Are you 1 of the very few here so good as to never malign them, or call for people casting suspicious eyes on Arab-type people on planes?
Go crawl back in a hole, please. At least learn to have a reasonable discussion rather than “firing off half-cocked”.
Imus would still have a job and that Rutgers flap would have been forgotten if this shooting happened last week.
Brief complete speculation: His girlfriend said she slept with other kids (maybe to “hurt” him), and so he walks to her class, and says “I’m looking for (her name), and anybody who says they know the name he shoots?.
But since some reports say he didn’t ask anybody anything, I’m just watching for more definitive information before drawing any conclusions. I’ll just say that so far I have no problem believing any of the story, but seriously wonder why, after a 7:15 am shooting with a gunman on the loose ANYBODY was in a classroom 2 hours later.
I saw a guy in custody on all fours and alive. If that wasn’t the shooter who was it? And, he looked somewhat asian but only somewhat. I wonder if he scuffled w/le while in custody? He certainly was alive at the time of arrest if that was him. The truth will only come out by bloggers who were there imo.
It would be far better if we dumped all the privacy and libel and anti-discrimination law that prevents colleges from weeding out irresponsible and/or unstable students. A kid applying to a college can have lengthy and serious psych and juvenile criminal histories, and the admissions staff isn't allowed to know anything about it except what the student chooses to tell. And they have a hard time rejecting students who provide info about a psych history, or kicking out students who display mental instability after they arrive, because of the ADA.
Granted, plenty of colleges would continue to take these kids even knowing their backgrounds, just for the money (though if the government weren't paying for a huge chunk of it, few parents would be willing to fork over huge sums to send a seriously messed up kid to college). But individual colleges should be free to set standards for student admission and continuation, that would make it safe to allow the student body to have adult responsibilities such as concealed carry.
The Rutgers basketball team lucked out today.
To quote a movie, (I can't remember the name),
"after the first one, the rest are free."
Yes it is.
Thanks.
Sobering. Interesting.
It’s very odd to see and listen to the news coverage so far.
Not one mention of the perp’s name, and not even one reporter asking WHY he hasn’t been named yet.
He has only been described as a “lone gunman”, or a “young man”.
Thirty-one people killed, thirty more seriously injured, and not even a blip of curiosity from the media or the authorities about the identity of the worst mass killer in American history.
Doesn’t make any sense at all, UNLESS he was a member of the Religion of Peace?
I think they realize that the blowback from this is going to be ANOTHER indictment of Liberalism, and they aren’t sure how to handle it...
The Liberal-Mandated “Gun-Free Zone” provided plenty of unarmed sheep for the slaughter, and there is NO WAY they can get around it...
one...
JUST ONE brave student with a legally-permitted weapon could have ended this and saved DOZENS of lives.
I think the Virginia taxpayers are facing BILLIONS in libility over this one (Not that the Democrats in charge give a damn...)
He’d have to be the coldest s.o.b. in history to come up with such an efficient killing plan and the means to execute it immediately after killing someone in the heat of passion.
The two conditions would seem to be mutually exclusive.
What explanations are being given for such?
Thanks.
Sobering. Interesting.
Sounded almost like a threat.
*shrug* He did attend a Madrassa after all...
Other man flees the classroom and gunman follows shooting along the way?
It’s possible the first murder was a staged diversion, and this gunman is some guy who is now in custody, according to earlier reports.
This killing then facilitated the big event two hours later across campus which resulted in so many deaths and the death of “another” gunman.
Presser being set up V Tech. Watching Fox News. (imo was terrorist act. So what if there’s a girl involved? It makes a great cover story.
Google Andrew Keyhoe...
And he has left a trail like those turds did in Columbine, or Trolley Square, internet rantings, confessions of absolute hatred with fellow losers, ROP death wish tapes or talks with Jihadi religious leaders on meaning of Jihad and Paradise. Whatever he has a trail and we all need to be vigilant so the pervs in the MSM don’t feed us a line of swill.
