Reply to: 33 killed and 26 injured at a university campus in Virginia

[threaded]

I've been reading the stuff from the This is London about this, and it just doesn't add up. I've not heard of anyone that accurate, and with handguns? Why did he file the numbers off the guns, but then put the purchase receipt in his rucksack?

On balance there are many, many worse places on earth than the USA.

Take China - anyone heard from DCJ lately?

I agree.

I once crossed the border into China from Hong Kong pockets were picked within the hour. Luckily I kept all the outside pockets of me rucksack empty.

Generally the worst places on earth don't invade other countries.. Yadda yadda.... or consume 2/3rd's of the earth's resources.

I'll soon be applying for a new passport. Flicking through the old one which is now nearly stamped on every page do you know how many times uncle sam has stamped it? nil, nadda, not once - that place scares me...

also i don't want to visit a country where the majority of it's citizens supports such foreign polices

What guilt DA? I have no belief in their system, if I'm a beneficiary of their creation it was not something I asked for! Honestly could we have an original idea please?

I am intrigued though as I was not alive when the Americans started laying the foundations of the capitalist system you talk of. Nevertheless their actions as supported by many will not encourage me to visit the land.

The Americans think, mistakenly, that they invented everything but you don't have to buy this from Dodgy. We invented capitalism.

another hypocrite who picks on the americans to satisfy guilt, despite being a beneficiary of the capitalist system that the americans have led for so many years.

Are you accusing Scooterscot of failing to be successfully bribed?

The question of why this happened is a fairly easy question to answer. One only has to examine the suicide note.



The more details about this guy's "Manifesto" that comes to light, the more it seems like a rant against Western culture, politics and values. I have also heard rumours about references to 9/11.

I eagerly await for the confirmation that he had been involved with radical leftist or Muslim groups but in the meantime one can ascertain that the victims of this shooting are casualties of the fruits of 60's radicalism (or casualties of ideology).

Are you mates with the urban vigilante RRH?

"Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats,"

"Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs. Your trust funds wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac wasn't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything."

"I die like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people."

Numbers, numbers, numbers????

In the year 2006 the USA had over 16,000 killings, and the Iraqi insurgents only killed a little over 3,000 in 4 years???

16 000 ? haha.

After years of pressure on his War , Bush finally feels good and a little relief after the attention was shifted from his part in killing of more than 500 000 civilians . ( and counting ) … to the killing of 30. Oh no ,wait a minute, I am forgetting that famous blonde that died and overtook CNN headlines for weeks , forgetting that the body count has not stopped. Well Americans seemed more interested in the death of a blonde woman. What a country.
That was another breath of fresh air for Bush.

Murdering someone with a firearm is more detached than murdering someone with a knife or a baseball bat.

Discuss, abuse Chico, whatever...

good point. If the gunman was armed with a knife or baseball bat (yes I know he would not then be called a gunman) then it is unlikely that he would have even bothered to try and kill someone.
