That’s right. I keep forgetting about the puppet masters.

He’s a great leader for Tech. I hope they don’t make him the scapegoat

We only tend to blame him for obvious screw-ups such as in the initial Iraq strategy and now with the appeasing tactic when engaging North Korea where they are laughing in our faces because of Chris Hill's capitulation followed by Bill Richardson's toadying visit to P'yang last week. Howeve,r we don't blame about or make him (GWB) responsible for EVERYTHING!

Twink, on the “latest posts” page, upper righthand corner you should see highlighted “you have mail” or “new posts to you”. Just click on them. You will see private messages to you in the mail function. You can send private mail by clicking “compose” in upper righthand corner of mail page. Is that clear as mud?

From that kids web site

Coming out. I am not the shooter. Through this experience, I have received numerous death threats, slanderous accusations, and my phone is out of charge from the barrage of calls. Local police have been notified of the situation.

My original intention was to wait until I got AdSense on my site and donating all the proceeds to Charity. However, this situation has now spiraled out of control. I am now confirming that I am not the shooter. I will be available for interview by a news agency to clear my name, talk about the experience, and give my opinion on how the situation could have turned out better if other students were allowed to be armed. I will only speak with individuals who are interested in donating to charities resulting from today’s events. Please e-mail all correspondence to null@vt.edu

I wonder why they had this one......

Because Blacksburg's been overrun with network and cable news prima donna's who are demanding answers...NOW!, and these guys don't have any experience dealing with them.

Try to give them a break...they've just been through the absolute worst day of their lives and now they're being beseiged by the likes of Couric and Geraldo.

I think you are quite right about looming additional terror activities putting thousands of students not only at risk . . . but out of this life.

Sad. Grieveously sad. Horribly treasonous all who allow such to happen—not to mention the globalist who facilitate such happening.

/wild speculation mode on

If this Mr. al Barghouti is of the al Barghouti’s that are tied to Fatah, in other words, he isn’t just a nobody, he could simply be letting friends at home know “hey, we pulled it off!”. A “somebody” could have been a recruiter or handler.

/wild speculation mode off

Like I said, worth a second look.

No one — adult or otherwise — has a right to carry where guns are prohibited, like in schools and churches.

I guess it would really chap your buster browns that I carry "illegally" when I go to night MBA classes in Little Rock, one of the most dangerous cities after dark around the university.

What happened today is about evil, not about guns. If this guy didn’t have firearms, he could have used explosives or any number of other methods to kill.

Yes, but he didn't he used guns, and was able, for a few hours, meticulously, methodically, go from unarmed student, to unarmed student snuffing out innocent souls. Evil exist, yes, and only can be confronted by good. I refuse the works of Satan, and renounce him, and if need be, give my life defending the innocent. Evil exist ONLY if good is allowed to just stand by and watch.

Had this happend at my night class, I would have engaged this jerk and stopped evil at the soonest possible point with my "illegal" carry.

And there is not a jury in the world that would have convicted me of "Carrying a weapon where prohibited".

He’s posted that he is NOT the shooter (and since the shooter is dead, I tend to believe him.)

I'm thinking the Mods ought to scrub the thread of mentions of this guy.

CNN Anderson Cooper has Middle Eastern fellow who caught the video/audio.

When asked if he thought the doors were chained he couldn't confirm.

What I understand is that the inner hall doors were chained on the specific floor...so nobody could reach the staircases to get off the floor.

Having lived in college dorms and knowing what goes on there Thursday through Sunday nights, I wouldn’t really want any weapons around.

When I was in school our campus policeman was known to get moonshine drunk on weekends and fire his 357 Magnum in the air. One night he came in my room and found a gallon of apple cider that I was attempting to ferment. It was cloudy and slimed over with a thick foamy layer of active yeast. Dexter tipped up the jug and took a long healthy chug-a-lug and said it was working fine. I poured it out the next day.

can a foreign national, here on a visa, legally buy a gun in Virginia?

that is insane if it’s legal - how can you possibly perform a background check on a person from a foreign country?

Such conjectures, in our current world state . . . happen to be the MOST likely.

Just the facts of life now.

Not everything. Just 98% of the ills in this world.

I didn't just fall off a turnip truck, Tokyo. I've been reading the blame game of the Bush haters around here for six years.

And that's the last I'm going to say on the subject on this thread. That's not what it's for.
