Michael Savage said that a Canadian news source is reporting that the manifesto also applauded the 911 attack.

If true, NBC would never report that.

More points towards him being Islam or some other satanic religion like liberalism than points away from it.

Almost all the school attackers have behaved like this. Planned carefully in advance.

It’s the ultimate narcissistic behavior.

Foremost is that incidents of targeted violence at school are rarely sudden, impulsive acts, the experts say.

“Students who engaged in school-based attacks typically did not ‘just snap’ and then engage in impulsive or random acts of targeted school violence,” the Secret Service researchers wrote. “Instead, the attacks examined under the Safe School Initiative appeared to be the end result of a comprehensible process of thinking and behavior: behavior that typically began with an idea, progressed to the development of a plan, moved on to securing the means to carry out the plan and culminated in an attack. This is a process that potentially may be knowable or discernible from the attacker’s behaviors and communications.”

Other key findings of the Secret Service study:

* Prior to most incidents, other people knew about the attacker’s idea and/or plan to attack.
* There is no accurate or useful “profile” of students who engaged in targeted school violence.
* Most attackers had difficulty coping with significant losses or personal failures. Moreover, many had considered or attempted suicide.
* Many attackers felt bullied, persecuted or injured by others prior to the attack.
* Most attackers had access to and had used weapons prior to the attack.
* In many cases, other students were involved in some capacity.
* Despite prompt law enforcement responses, most shooting incidents were stopped by means other than law enforcement intervention. The end came through suicide in about one-eighth of the shootings.

“Just heard they only said: It was received “days” ago.”

According to Foxnews, the postal worker hand delivered it to NBC that day (Monday)

The term "terrorist" is seen in more than one way. My way: anyone who spreads fear/terror by violence. This is really an insignificant thing to argue over - agree? But here is the official version of terrorism:

The United States has defined terrorism under the Federal Criminal Code. Chapter 113B of Part I of Title 18 of the United States Code defines terrorism and lists the crimes associated with terrorism[9]. In Section 2331 of Chapter 113b, terrorism is defined as: …activities that involve violent… or life-threatening acts… that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State and… appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and… (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States… [or]… (C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States…"

It’s the ultimate way to say, I’m miserable, and you made me that way, I don’t have to take any responsibility to be happy, and I’m going to make you miserable in revenge.

Brian Williams said they didn’t receive it until today. The zip code was changed at least 3 times.

Or just about every single film or television show with a pistol in it.

Plenty of blame to go around once we discount personal responsibility and mental health.

I don’t always agree with Charles, but I think he’s right on this.

So pardon my ignorance.

You're not displaying "ignorance," despite the learned lecture. There are some similarities and some questionable words the killer displayed and used. As far as language... he used the debated term "Ismail Ax," whatever that signifies, he also has railed against "Christians" and "debauchery" (an Islamic favorite).

The video is much like a Jihadist would construct (although a lot more sophistcated in technology), the hate and venom spewed against "rich kids" and "Christians" is not unsimilar.

I would also contend that Islamists ARE in fact "nutjobs." Islam is a cult and, once indoctrinated, cultists are by my definition "nutjobs."

As part of my contention that Cho's rants sound just like DUmmie rants, check out this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Open letter to the crazed fundie f*ckers." Here is an excerpt that sounds like it could have been posted by Cho:

Say goodbye to those slick-haired silver-tongued child molesting preachers driving cadillacs that you worship MORE than you worship Jesus. Just wait. I'm COMING for you.

Where did this guy find a freshly painted cinderblock wall and total privacy to videotape this stuff? Someone on the thread said he stayed at school while others went home on vacations-maybe he taped over Easter?

Everything else was obviously in his car.

Video game, Counterstrike, may have been involved....Perp in the German school shooting was also involved in the same computer game....Thompson is saying this (the shooting) was a ‘body count’ game....for Cho to have pulled this off as he did, he had to have trained for it (via computer).

Interesting. He also had firearms training. He was very effective. High kill rate.

Is he really that small? One of the survivors had said that he was about 6 ft tall. I guess that was a misperception.
