But why would he take the trouble to obliterate the serial numbers on the gun and make sure he also carried no personal ID, yet keep the receipt for the gun in his backpack?

Doesn’t make sense, unless he just plain forgot that he still had the receipt.

What a nasty and unnecessary personal attack.

Each one of the students murdered is someone's baby. Every parent who loves his or her child understands that.

I guess some folks do not understand that.

I didn't mean to post that as a tin foil connection

Just that he survived through so much in life and was killed while trying to protect the lives of others

Chicago, Tribune

"BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting rampage, Cho Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm room, sources say.

The note included a rambling list of grievances and ended with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on the inside of one of his arms.

I agree. Of course, that’s my impression from reading it and the post before it, that’s all.

I think it was nothing but a poor attempt at a (general, not “personal”) joke, badly timed.

But I could be wrong.

Wikipedia,

Judaism has generally viewed Ishmael as wicked though repentant.[1] Islamic tradition, however, has a very positive view of Ishmael, ascribing a larger role to Ishmael in comparison to the Bible and viewing him as a prophet and the son of sacrifice (according to certain early theologians whose ideas prevailed later). The Bahá'í writings consider him a lesser prophet.

Both Jewish and Islamic traditions consider Ishmael as the ancestor of Arab people.

Islamic connection?? hmmm

You mean like . . . when . . . .

the mass of rusted, covered in scratches bicycles are mushing forward and one bumps into another one—the fellow on the one bumped into is duty/pride bound to instantly get off and go to fisticuffs or sticks against sticks with the guy that bumped him—even though it would be a major detective task to find the new scratch???

LOL.

Still love the place and people. Not the gov. But then, I don’t like our traitorous Congress either.

I guess 'somewhat retarded' was meant as a compliment, then....

As the mother of four young adults in their 20's (two in college), I can assure you that they are still my babies, but not in any way, shape or form 'somewhat retarded.'

Forgive me if I misunderstood that null was being nice to tired of laundry and it just went over my head....

I had gotten an email from a friend of a friend. The “friend was a policeman in Enterprise. He was walking with the President and the secret service. He told how the President comforted some of the students and kept them close. One was the President of the student gov’t. When they got to the church where the families were that lost one of their children, the s.s man told the officer this is where we stay. The President went into the church without his s.s. The officer asked the s.s man “What about his protection?” The s.s. officer said “He has protection, it’s just from a higher source.” That still brings chills to me. What faith. It made this Alabamian proud. I hope that you and your family are doing well.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
