More On VA Tech Shooting

Since my last post, I've had more time to read through the reports coming from the mayhem in Blacksburg. The authorities still seem to have no idea what they are talking about, and from what I gather the FBI, ATF, VA State Police, and many other law enforcement agencies are involved in the chaos.

Regardless of the outcome, two things are evident.

1. The VA Tech Chief of Police should resign. If the school had learned anything from a shooting incident last year on campus, it is that information is key to protecting people. By not shutting down classes when a gunman can be roaming around campus is idiotic.

2. These types of tragedies can never be prevented. People remarked to me before knowing the details that this must be some "pissed off white redneck." Turns out it was a Chinese guy on a student visa. Others try to blame the gun. If not a gun, this guy could have used a bomb or something else. Do your part in preventing situations like this: keep alert, learn how use and purchase a gun to protect yourself.

The Chief is a dumbass and so are all of the people who said the shooter was a redneck. The shooter was a commie Korean (I'll refrain from using a certain word). Everyone who's a honest citizen and a student/faculty/parent should arm up when they go back on that campus.
