He mentioned once how, when he first got to the US he saw a demonstration in downtown Seattle. He sat down about a half a block away, waiting for the police to show up and start "beating people". He said it was half-unbelievable when they didn't.
He points out that we shouldn't waste time letting locals handle this, citing the Montgomery County sniper example (Chief Moose.)
I have to say that Dietl has a point.
Judge Napolitano is already assigning blame to the university.
Obama and Edwards gave statements earlier. The White House didn’t want to be upstaged this afternoon - it would have been fodder for cable news pundits tonight like wacky Oberman.
>>the campus was literally crawling with were armed cops with rifles. Your emotional plan failed big time.
I said well armed and well trained.
My plan was that if you wish your child to attend a university where the student body is armed, then send him there. Emotional?
My feelings also. So sad and depressing. A terrorist act and little that can be done to prevent it, especially on such a big campus. It is a beautiful area - it had far tastier food than any of the some dozen other campuses we have visited.
“Blood-sucking lawyers are circling already.”
I’m watching FOX. There was a woman, Pat Brown, introduced as a “criminal profiler,” who was yapping and yelling that everybody better sue the heck out of VTech. That’s all she said. Not one word regarding her “expertise” of profiling the shooter.
could mean anything regarding “asian”
asian from where? One of the militant islamic nations?
Korea?
Viet Nam?
Hong Kong?
etc. etc.
Wolf said he was from a “Well-Known Middle-Eastern Family”...
Did mean well known, like the Bin Laden’s were?
They didn’t mention any horns??? Course maybe Va Tech hats are purple??
Pray for W and Va Tech
Thanks.
Some people just refuse to get the Laws of Logistics. Its the Herding of Cats rule... Only thing is, most people think that not only CAN you herd cats, but that it is easy and instantanous!
Ask your hubby, if I remember correctly he does stats for a living. Me, I am just a plain country Engineer, reach for you wallet, who has no logic, if it smells it must be a bearing. (Joke)
You've got to be kidding. There would be more than 32 homicides a year just front the stupid, drunk students!
A dormitory is not the same thing as a private residence. Consider the average age...
If the picture is of the (asian) shooter being arrested, how did the shooter end up dead and barely recognizable?
Yes he was saying Barghouti is well known there!! Suck up!
“Wasn’t Chelsea only a few blocks away?”
lol
Remember, we haven’t heard from Bill or Hillary yet.
I don't know if you meant that to be funny, but it cracked me up. I was thinking like a Vikings ball cap, not a viking helmet.
Any one of which could have become the scene of a mass shooting had classes been cancelled after the first incident. Which, of course, would produced large numbers of reporters asking, "why did you cancel classes, wouldn't they have been safer in the classrooms?"
This scenerio is the only one that makes sense to me. I had heard he lined the students up and shot them, I can not imagine that many being shot and someone not trying to stop it. They would have to be taken by surprise.
