...as more comes out about the VT shooter, Cho Seung-Hui. From Yahoo.com: "BLACKSBURG, Va. - The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified Tuesday as a senior English major from
South Korea. But police and university officials offered no clue to his motive.
South Korea. But police and university officials offered no clue to his motive.
"Cho held a green card — meaning he was a legal, permanent U.S. resident — and had been in the United States since 1992, federal officials said. Officials said he graduated from a public high school in Chantilly, Va., in 2003.
"His family lives in Centreville, Va., a Washington suburb, but he was living on campus, in a different dorm from the one where the bloodbath began, the university said.
"One law enforcement official said Cho's backpack contained a receipt for a March purchase of a Glock 9 mm pistol. As a permanent legal resident of the United States, Cho was eligible to buy a handgun unless he had been convicted of a felony.
"Investigators stopped short of saying Cho carried out both attacks. But ballistics tests show one gun was used in both, Virginia State Police said.
"And two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the information had not been announced, said Cho's fingerprints were found on the two guns used in the rampage. The serial numbers on the two weapons had been filed off, the officials said.
Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said it was reasonable to assume that Cho was the shooter in both attacks but that the link was not yet definitive. "There's no evidence of any accomplice at either event, but we're exploring the possibility," he said.

"The gunman's family lived in an off-white, two-story town house in Centreville.
"He was very quiet, always by himself," neighbor Abdul Shash said of the gunman. Shash said the gunman spent a lot of his free time playing basketball, and wouldn't respond if someone greeted him. He described the family as quiet.
"Marshall Main, who lives across the street, said the family had lived in the townhouse for several years.
"According to court records, Virginia Tech Police issued a speeding ticket to Cho on April 7 for going 44 mph in a 25 mph zone, and he had a court date set for May 23."
So what should you expect? Well expect the anti-immigration lobby to claim that this occurred because of immigration. Expect someone to blame the police for not arresting him when he was caught speeding. Expect someone to think that he was North Korean and blame Kim Jong-Il. Expect someone to blame stealth video games like Metal Gear, and Hitman. And don't forget about the Scientologists blaming the psychiatric drug industry. Hey Chris Rock, what do you think?
"Can't a nigga just be nuts?"
Oops, you said the n-word. Now go join Imus in the corner.
