Wonder if he is a convert to ROP?

[George W. Bush]

article: Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly stalking some women.

Sounds like they should have expelled him or forced him into treatment.

Setting a fire in the dorms was arson and/or terrorism.

[Tzimisce]

So he left a note decrying the “rich white kids” - this guy sounds like a big lib.

So there you have it, liberalism really does kill.

Cho died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on the inside of one of his arms.

Now why did he affix that muslim name on his arm?

He thought by now he'd be in heaven meeting 72 virgins.

[ctdonath2]

Surprised nobody found this page, where a similar-looking guy is refered to as "ismael ax".

[Paperdoll]

I just heard on Christian news that the shooter’s fingerprints do not match those of any students.

[Chad_the_Impaler]

Ismail X ... like Malcolm X ?

[Charles Henrickson]

I predict that this writing on the arm will turn out to be:

ISMAIL AK

NOT

ISMAIL AX

Killer's Note: 'You Caused Me to Do This'

This is an angle the investigators need to pursue with the school's counseling service, the killer's computer, and Dr. Ismail Ak himself.

[TASMANIANRED]

Has a lot of hallmarks of schizophrenia.

Another report mentioned that there had been attempts to remove the serial numbers from the handguns. Carrying reciepts makes no sense.

"Ismail Ax," and "Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression."

The Pharmacotherapy of DEPRESSION

"Pharmacogenetics is the study of genetic factors that lead to individual differences in the response to drug therapy.(49) Often, phenotypes that lead to pharmacogenetic differences are found clustered within particular ethnic groups. Interindividual variability in cytochrome P450 2D6 activity is quite large.(46,47) The impact of polymorphism on P450 enzymes involved in antidepressant metabolism depends on the importance of the metabolic pathway. Generally, adverse effects are more likely in slow metabolizers because of drug accumulation and serum concentrations may be subtherapeutic in extremely rapid metabolizers. One group of investigators suggest that 30% of Chinese patients are slow metabolizers and thus are at risk for toxicity from usual doses of TCAs."

Just speculation, but is this a convert to Islam with serotonin syndrome?

A gaming name perhaps?

Here is an interesting intersection of “Ismail” and “Ax” in the Muslim story of Ibrahim (Abraham), who in the Muslim version of the story is a convert from paganism to Islam. In this story, Ibrahim was going to sacrfice his son, Ismail (instead of Isaac) but a sheep is sent down from “Heaven” and Ismail is spared. As in the Bible, Ismail’s mother is Hagar and she is sent away. When Ismail is grown and his mother has died, he meets Ibrahim again. Learns that Ibrahim has converted to Islam and that Ibrahim had taken an ax and attacked and destroyed all the pagan gods at a Temple except one after converting to Islam. He hung the ax around the single standing pagan idol. Ismail also converts to Islam.

The story appears at an Islamic web site:

Calling the fatal shootings "a horrible tragedy for the commonwealth, this community and the nation," Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine this evening angrily denounced gun lobbyists who have said the murders might not have happened if more students were armed.

"People who want to take this 24 hours after the event and make it their political hobbyhorse— I have nothing but loathing,'' he said during a news conference.

Funny no criticism of those calling for more gun control, much less than 24 hours after the event. The same day in fact.

From Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

For Immediate Release:
04-16-2007
Contact Communications: (202) 898-0792

Blacksburg, VA – Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, issued the following statement:

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the Virginia Tech University community, and to the families of the victims of what appears to be one of the worst mass shootings in American history.

"Details are still forthcoming about what motivated the shooter in this case to act, and how he was able to arm himself. It is well known, however, how easy it is for an individual to get powerful weapons in our country.

"Eight years ago this week, the young people in Littleton, Colorado suffered a horrible attack at Columbine High School, and almost exactly six months ago, five young people were killed at an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania. Since these killings, we've done nothing as a country to end gun violence in our schools and communities. If anything, we've made it easier to access powerful weapons.

"We have now seen another horrible tragedy that will never be forgotten. It is long overdue for us to take some common-sense actions to prevent tragedies like this from continuing to occur."

'It speaks for itself. The vultures began circling over the bodies while they were still warm, and while others were still being treated in hospitals, some in critical condition.

Anyone concerned about the gun control angle this will generate ought to watch the video linked in this other thread:
