Confucious say:

Killer Seung Hui Cho = "Huge unheroic skill"

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Had they, the VA Tech administration, done something to the POS at that point though the ACLU and all the liberals would be screaming freedom of speech.

AMAZING the issues that could be addressed and solved though if we were proactive instead of reactive in our law enforcement and intelligence gathering.

But hey, its illegal to wiretap, gather intel, etc...

Thanks LIBS...

I once wrote a short story about having wild monkey sex with Catherine Bell, but you don't see me chasing her around the set trying to hump her leg. (not that the thought of that isn't mildly arousing)

On a serious note, I'm concerned that all this fuss over something that some crazed individual wrote might result in having a chilling effect on those who dare to challenge the boundaries of what constitutes fictional writing. If extreme story concepts start becoming grist for hysterical mobs to break out the torches and pitchforks, then guys like Frank Miller and Steven King would be well counciled to keep their pinkies off their keyboards for a while. Maybe they could find the safe house where Salmon Rushdie is laying low. See what happened to him, and all he did was say Mohammad had wild monkey sex with Catherine Bell.

This is more akin to the story of the kid that got jerked out of school for drawing guns. What a bunch of hysterical Cassandras we're all becoming.

From the article:

Additionally, Virginia State Police officials, who also have a copy of the paper, said they could not give it to the panel under state law because it is part of the investigative file.

In almost any place but the US of NRA this probably would never have happened.

I know this will set those who need a gun to get it up a howling but the truth is there for anyone to see: flood a country with guns and people will die who didn't need to die.

Of course it wouldn't have happened like that...HE WOULD HAVE USED A DAMN SUICIDE BOMB! Or perhaps you have never heard of that shit happening in other "civilized" places!

The GUN didn't kill those poor people...I am sorry if I offended your liberal ass!

Please stop pissing yourself. why is it that libs are call spineless but those on the right seem to be terrified of everything??? So terrified that the only way to be safe is to watch everyone all the time. This country has been fine without tapping everyones phone and it will continue to be fine without it. So go change your huggies and relax. I own a gun and can protect myself, you know personal responiblity. I dont need you to worring your pretty little head off about everyone else. Bad shit happens that's life and in a free society it will happen more offen. It is a price we pay for our freedoms. You want to go to a country where the government reads everyone's email and listen's in on there calls move to China, i am sure you would finally feel safe there. But dont bring that commi Bullshit to the Country i love.

But hey, they are doing all that stuff anyway...

Thanx CONS...

You think the Cho Massacre at VT woulda been averted if the FBI had been allowed to tap his phone indiscriminitely?

Interesting theory.

Maybe if they had hauled him in after he wrote this paper they coulda waterboarded him and then gotten him to admit that he was planning on becoming mentally imbalanced and actually carrying out such an assault a year later?

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Just to straighten you out.

It's not illegal to wiretap folks phones or collect intel.

It just can't be done willy nilly with no regard given to the concept of over-sight.

Hoover and Nixon taught us that.

Bush teaches us again.

Cho, by all evidence, including this latest revelation, was crying out to be noticed as a potential danger and nobody took those cries seriously enuff till it was all too late. A lot of this had to do with the fact that the Cho's are a very religious family who distrust modern psychiatry and eschewed treatment fer their son.

Be Well.

anybody that looks strange should be questioned and reported to the FBI/Homeland Security .. it's your duty to do so.

Shocker!
